Austrian Uses Car To Kill People, While Americans Still Use Guns





Just as conservative Americans blame mass murder on  mental illness, Austrians blame deliberate killings using automobiles on mental illness. Quite a creative family of ailments, no?

[From article]
The driver, identified by police as a 26-year-old Austrian man of Bosnian heritage, has been arrested. He works as a professional driver and is married with two children.
Police are not currently investigating terrorism as a motive and the suspect is believed to be suffering from mental illness.
[. . .]
Josef Klamminger, the director of police, said the driver's motive was not yet known but he appeared to be "psychotic" following problems at home.
[. . .]
Hermann Schützenhöfer, the governor of Styria state, called the driver a "deranged lone assassin".
