I live in Germany and it's horrible, what happened there. One problem we have, when something like this happens, is that some people like to spread false informations about the attack to the news outlets or even to the social networks. Those people even fake videos or pictures to spread false assumptions against certain groups of people. It's really horrible, that these rumors sometimes actually get to the news.
Yeah. I just looked into it and thankfully, nobody was killed, which is contrary to what I'd heard at work. Still, not even goddamn Switzerland is safe.
Wow. A Turkish police officer got the Russian amabassador?
That's probably going to put a bigger strain in the Russia-Turkey relations that when they shot down that Russian jet last year.
Well shit. 2916 has just been sunshine and rainbows, hasn't it? I hope 2017 will be better, but honestly, I can only see things getting worse from here.
I kinda doubt anything big will happen. Turkey has the trump card of locking up the Dardanelles if it does. That would hurt Russia pretty bad, since all its warm-water ports (except the one in Syria) are in the Black Sea.
It's definitely one of the more tense relationships though. I think being in NATO and that gives Turkey a lot of cards to choose from. Russia definitely has some of their stuff though. It probably won't be as big as the jet downing that almost led to the cancellation of the Turkish Stream pipeline project and other economic sanctions.

Yeah, I don't think either side wants a fiasco. I love how reps are saying "it was an attempt to sabotage our relations". As if it couldn't just be a guy who's furious about the slaughter in Aleppo.

Shit! I got a friend who is on vacation in Berlin. I hope she is alright!
Fuck. You better check her social media or whatever to make sure. I believe this particular market is on the west side of Berlin, if that helps.

She is okay...She and her family is safe. Thank god....
Glad to hear it.
Glad to hear it.
Someone shot up an Islamic center in Zurich too. Just a wonderful day all around. 2016 clearly isn't done with us yet.
What? Holy shit!

The depths of human rage and cruelty never cease to amaze me.

This is not good.
Erdogan called Putin immediately - so there's that, at least, but I'm sure Russia will still seek revenge, likely on Syria more than anywhere else.
Christ...hope those people will be okay.
Glad your friend is okay.
Looks like 2016 is gonna tie with 2014 on the Fucked Up scale.
This year hasn't been very kind at all![:\](https://community.telltalegames.com/resources/emoji/confused.png ":\")

Shit I know people in Germany I hope they are oke!
We have less than two weeks left. Tomorrow is the 4th anniversary of the end of the world. Maybe the mayans were off by 4 years.

I have no words for the atrocity committed against the good people of Germany.
I sincerely hope those who have killed those innocent people are all put to death.
I pray for the victims that have been affected by this crime. People can be so evil it's unbelievable.
Edit: grammatical error
I hope they are too
Glad to hear it.
2016, the Game Of Thrones of years.

It's a damn shame! God rest the souls of the 50 people who were killed.

Man,2016 has really been a crazy year
