A rather pathetic lone gunman live-streamed himself as he made misogynistic and anti-Semitic comments, drove to a synagogue, but failed to gain entry and ended up killing two people nearby.

"
A shooting at a synagogue in the German city of Halle on Monday was a far-right terror attack, said justice minister Christine Lambrecht.

Alleged perpetrator Stephan Balliet had four kilos of explosives in his car, Ms Lambrecht said in a joint statement with attorney-general Peter Frank.

Usually any whiff of a terror attack means a thread is started.

Well these islamist attacks are getting to become rather common tbh...

Are they though? Can't remember the last successful Islamic terror attack in Europe - 2017 maybe?

Well yes

Successful as in loads of people killed? Yeah this is kind of the point, the less successful attacks like this one are pretty common to the point where they're just yet another incident.

"Successful" as in any deaths at all.

Yesterday when I saw the breaking news I was wondering who would start this thread, and I knew it would be either one side or the other of looneys based on when it was announced what race the attacker was. I wasn't disappointed.

May I ask what makes me a one sided looney?

Ah yes, the mainstream media. They definitely hate reporting on terror attacks....

As if. That's their bread and butter.
