Number of victims in Munich car crash into crowd rises to 36

Follow up to this story from two days ago.
[Regnum] The number of people injured in the car crash into a crowd of protesters in Munich has risen to 36. This was announced by Deputy Chief of the Munich Police Department Christian Huber at a press conference.

“At present, we are talking about 36 victims about whom we have information,” he said.

He also specified that two people were seriously injured, and eight more were moderately injured. At the same time, according to Huber, the number of victims as a result of the incident may increase.

As reported by the Regnum news agency, on February 13, a Smart car drove into a crowd of people in the center of Munich. The incident occurred at about 10:00 (12:00 Moscow time) during street protests in the city. Some eyewitnesses said that the driver had run over the car intentionally. Police officers broke the car's window to detain the suspect.

The Bild newspaper, citing informed sources, reported that the driver of the car that rammed the crowd was an Afghan citizen. And according to the Spiegel newspaper, the 24-year-old suspect moved to Germany from Afghanistan in 2016, after which he regularly published posts with Islamist content.

Later, Bavarian Interior Minister Joachim Hermann also reported that the driver of the car that rammed the crowd had previously requested asylum in Germany and was denied. However, the Afghan citizen still had the opportunity to be in Germany. The head of the local department clarified that the suspect had not previously been associated with committing acts of violence, but had been involved in shoplifting and drug crimes.
Paraphrasing the machine translation: Nius.de has photos of Afghan bodybuilder Farhad N., 24, and his beloved Mini Cooper, reporting that he came to Germany from Italy at the end of 2016, requesting asylum, but his application was rejected in September 2017. Some time later he received a “tolerance”, preventing him from being deported, and eventually he found a job as a security guard for Ralph Lauren in Munich. He was also a competition bodybuilder, posting videos of his workouts accompanied by Moslem songs, and photos of his medals and himself with the “Tawhid finger” extended, also in designer clothing and expensive carsfor his 33,000 TikTok followers and 68,000 Instagram followers. His neighbours described him as a friendly and helpful young man who recently underwent “Blitzradikalisierung“, Sudden Jihad Syndrome. He followed and shared from at least two TikTok sites that carry Moslem religious content, and had recently described himself as Islamist on social media. He is also connected to false identity documents and drug offenses, but previous reports if shoplifting are incorrect.

Eugyppius describes him as 26 year-old asylum seeker in Germany named Farhad Noori, adding:
This was the second automobile attack on innocent bystanders in public since Magdgeburg in December, when the Saudi migrant Taleb al-Abdulmohsen drove a rented BMW into a Christmas market crowd, killing 6 and injuring 299. To this terrible tally comes the knife attacks in Mannheim, Solingen and Aschaffenburg. This singular and exceedingly rare category of crime — which has become a symbol for the decay in domestic security associated with mass migration — presently claims a nine-month toll in Germany of 12 dead and 343 maimed. The latest attack is additionally poignant, because it follows the Green and Social Democrat blockade of a bill to restrict migration in the Bundestag on 31 January. Among other things, the left parties withheld their votes because Alternative fur Deutschland supported the legislation.

Noori fits what is by now a well-established pattern: He is a native Afghan who came to Germany in 2016 with the rest of the Merkel wave; he was known to the police for theft and drug offences; after the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees rejected his asylum application, he received a visa of tolerated stay anyway.

Like al-Abdulmohsen, the Christmas market attacker, Noori also had a large social media presence, with 68,000 followers on Instagram and another 33,000 on TikTok. On Instagram one finds pictures he posted last year of himself standing next to the Mini Cooper used in today’s attack:

Noori was primarily a competitive bodybuilder, but he was also a pious Moslem; Der Spiegel notes that some of his final social media posts contain "Islamist content," which seems to be a reference to TikTok posts like this one. In apparent video of his arrest this morning, Noori can be heard shouting "God is great" over and over:

What will happen now is the very same thing that happened after all of these other attacks. Politicians will tell us that these events are unacceptable and that Germany must enact grave changes to prevent them in future. Then there will be renewed marches to celebrate diversity and oppose "the right," because the most important victims of migrants colonists attackers are of course all the peaceful Moslems they did not attack. Around this time we will be warned against over-generalising and overreacting, and then the story will slip from the headlines until the next time.

UPDATE: Some additional details have come to light. Noori’s asylum application was rejected in 2017, a year after his arrival. He became an illegal resident in 2020, but received his visa of toleration sometime thereafter. Some of his (now-deleted) Instagram posts show that he worked as store security for Ralph Lauren in Munich. He was known to the authorities for document forgery, among other crimes.

#1 When a Muslim crashes a car into a crowd of "green protesters", I'm supposed to feel...golly if I'm struggling with this one.

Muslims want to subjugate us all. "Green protestors" want...isn't it virtually the same thing?

#2 Muslims want to subjugate us all. "Green protestors" want to save Gaia by exterminating 90% of humanity.

#3 It's not “Blitzradikalisierung“ or "extremism."

He is a normal law abiding Afghan who adheres to the Afghans' legal and ethical consensus.

By our standards such a normal Afghan is a psychopathological criminal.(*)

By their standards a normal Westerner is a psychopathological criminal.

(*) IMNSO an appropriate term for people who believe in the death penalty for ideological deviation.

#6 I can confirm the full name Farhad Noori. The German Generalbundesanwalt has taken over the investigations, so it's clearly seen as a terrorist act. Psychological problems don't seem to be relevant.

#7 @Crusader
It wasn't a crowd of "Green protestors" but a labor dispute demonstration (city cleaners fighting for better salaries which are actually warranted in expensive Munich.

#8 I can confirm

Thank you, European Conservative. That’s very useful indeed.

I imagine you found the conference yesterday interesting. Here’s hoping the major parties actually act after the election, rather than being content yet again to have said all the right things.

#9 Police now have confirmed that a mother, 37, and her two-year-old daughter have died.

#10 ^ For Family Honor under Afghan tradition, he must be put to death. Immediately, and publicly. We respect other cultures, right?

#11 @10 People and goods in conquered nations belong to Muslims. By Afghan standards he did nothing wrong.

#12 Under Afghan tradition, Frank G, first unbelievers and then even members of the wrong clan have no rights whatsoever, only delayed execution for which they must pay jizya.

As I understand it, there were several waves of Moslem conquest across the Indian subcontinent, and each after the first ignored the Moslem faith of the previous conquerers, treating them as equally unbeliever as the Hindus, Buddhists, etc.
