No, but it highlights the failure of gun-control laws.


The new laws regarding opioids are doing a pretty damn good so far. Making things harder to acquire will inevitably lessen their use.

Sure, if you ignore the fact heroin has always been illegal and people weren't dying from doctor prescribed fentanyl... otherwise you're realizing making shite illegal doesn't actually limit access to them.

No idea what you are talking about. What I said point blank is true. I can speak from experience.

Oh I’m sure all of the guys making the extremely original Aloha Snackbar comments will come back and admit they were wrong. They just haven’t logged into TD this morning.

I love how quickly it goes from “and it muslims!” To “fake news” or soros

Washington Post reports that the victims were Turks and Middle Easterners. The shooter was Tobias R, a guy who is said to have ranted online about immigrants and complained that “Not everyone who has a German passport is purebred and valuable."

quote:

the suspect was found dead in his home along with his mother. The events unfolded with echoes of what has become grimly familiar. Videos and documents had been posted online, thick with conspiracy theories and rants against immigrants.


quote:

German authorities said they have stepped up their monitoring of far-right groups in recent months after several deadly incidents. In June, a politician known as a vocal supporter of asylum seekers was shot dead. In October, a shooter tried to attack a synagogue in the German city of Halle on Yom Kippur, turning his homemade weapon on passersby and a nearby kebab shop as he failed to gain entry.

Earlier this week, German police they arrested 12 members of a far-right group planning attacks on mosques and targets associated with refugees and asylum seekers, drawing inspiration from last year’s mosque attacks in Christchurch, New Zealand, that killed more than 50 people.
...

The suspect was identified in German press reports as Tobias R., 43. Police and prosecutors said they could not comment on reports that the shooter left behind documents and video that indicated a confused, extreme-right, anti-immigrant ideology.

It’s the typical “right wing conservative nationalist nut who goes crazy on minorities due to perceived threat” mass shooting. Move along. Thoughts and prayers. Yada Yada.

Sounds like a Thursday in the US.

Oh yes, my favorite part in the post-shooting cycle. The part where everyone gets on their soapbox and uses it to make a political point.

That article, and I imagine others like it, is likely going to be used to push against the anti-immigration movement that's been growing in the EU recently, all because this guy clearly was not right in the head, but held views that others may also hold.

Tobias Rathjen



His website details obsessions with alien abduction, mind control, right-wing conspiracies and secret US military bases where he believed children were sacrificed to Satan.

quote:

The suspect wrote that he was an incel and that he had not had a relationship with a woman for more than 18 years. Rathjen says this was by choice. Typically, incels believe that they are victims of “involuntarily celibacy.” Neuman tweeted that Rathjen exhibited signs of paranoia, believing that he was under surveillance by security forces who were not the German security forces but another shadow organization. Rathjen also believed that U.S. President Donald Trump and Liverpool F.C. soccer coach Jurgen Klopp had “stole his ideas.” This led Rathjen to believe it was his rhetoric that allowed Trump to win the 2016 U.S. Presidential Election.

Hookah bars? Were they targeting Turkish immigrants or something? Legit question.

I hate to go there- but it is what it is. You don't want to crunch the numbers on that one.
