Several people shot dead in Hanau, near Frankfurt in Germany

[BowdonUK]

There is a big scandal brewing in my town around Hookah bars and grooming.

It might be his reason. But even if it is he shouldn't be shooting people.

If people want to express these thoughts of anger turn to the ballot box and not the gun.

I hope for the sake of the cesspit which is GD that this is Muslim terrorist related.

One of the rare occasions we agree on something!

No serious, I get sick of the racists on here.

You might have missed a word out of your post. Did you mean you hope this isn't Muslim terror related?

Doesn't seem likely that it is muslim terror related.... not sure why people are hoping it will be down to one group or another though, bit odd.

 

[StriderX]

Sure hope there isn't any victim blaming on this thread

Anyway, now that it's confirmed what the motive is, I expect the BND's far-right lists are being combed through for an operation in due course, as a show that the German institutions wont tolerate it.

I'm not seeing any difference here?

That's the point. You come across as a Nazi sympathiser by trying to explain away this guys actions.

Exactly. Which was the point I was trying to make.

"Muslim terror related" could mean 2 things:

1) terror related activities perpetrated by Muslims, and
2) terror related activities perpetrated against Muslims.

I assume number 2 was the intended meaning.

Caveat: maybe it could mean other things, I can only think of 2!

No, there will be a lot of racists upset if it is a white man.

OMG, it is - meltdown

. . . there will be a lot of racists upset if it is a white man. . . .

I think that it is perhaps too simplistic here to talk about "racists", "white supremacists" and even xenophobes. I think that what we are talking about here is people who are resistant to / frightened of change.

They feel quite comfortable knowing that the nearest they will come to anyone or anything different is taking a chance by going to an Indian or Chinese restaurant but if someone comes along who looks a bit different from them, speaks differently, has a different outlook on life, has different values or God forbid - speaks a language that they can't understand, they are quite simply terrified.

Despite the words of John Donne and Paul Simon, there are people who do believe that they are in fact islands, untroubled by change and they want to keep it that way.

It's a back handed compliment people seem to throw around on here occasionally - they've probably agreed with lots of other posts you've made but are focused on some time you didn't agree.

I'm not sure you cheering at it being a white person is any better than the racists TBH.
