I just saw on “Bild” that the first name of the perp is “Jens”. Doesn’t look like any Mo coefficient though he might be a convert.
You actually believe the press to report accurately? The youtube shooter they lightened her skin tone and made her eyes green, and that wasn’t even jihad terror related.
We don’t believe anyone per se, we always look at reports critically. Maybe the perp’s name isn’t Jens. They tried to get away with calling the Munich shooter David, when his name was Ali. But maybe his name is Jens.
The question is not if his name was Jens. The real question is can we trust the German authorities. And the German press for that matter.
the Berlin van was driven by a polish man,dead behind the wheel! Rings a bell?
Jens must be a misspelling , for real it was Yeniz, or …
Lots of middle eastern names begin with R.
We’ll just have to wait until the police deign to release the actual details. They need time afterall to make sure there are no links to AfD or similar they can downplay their immigration invasion with.

At the moment, everything looks as if the van driver had been killed some time before the car was abducted ….
The one who was behind the wheel – just dumped, taking advantage of the chaos …
Approximately similar attacked the German Christmas market in the past year, when they killed the Poles, the driver, and his car rammed people ….
But the Germans now can not put forward other versions, otherwise – street clashes, burning mosques, riots and fights….
