There were 3 shooters is what I'm hearing so it isn't just a lone maniac.

Good point. Were they just targeting foreign looking people? I don't see how it would help their cause to shoot caucasians.

In specific circumstances like with anders brevik it happened, but from what I remember he was targeting Caucasians who subscribed to a political side, or at least that was his perception. But a shopping mall seems like a random place unless there's some demographics in the mall I'm not aware of.


Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.

Impersonation is treason.

Almost certainly white German nationalist(s) in my opinion. The rhetoric during the filmed exchange; the anniversary of Breivik...

Too many instances pointing towards that end.

Such hatred from everyone. I'm fed up of it.

I worry for the world my daughter will inherit.

Why almost certainly? There's not really anything pointing in any direction except the anniversary. It's pure speculation at this point.

Given the abuse and mockery directed at the gunman in that video I think it's safe to say that this isn't a terror attack. The people of Munich clearly have decided not to accept the invitation to be terrified.

The exchange on the rooftop with a passerby was about  "foreigners" and the "wrongdoings" of EU policy with regards to benefits and the "injustice treatment" of "native" people...

I'd say it's White Nationalism.

But I did give the caveat of "my opinion" - which surely infers speculation, does it not?

This is a forum for opinion, after all.

We have live tickers and constant news coverage. Some of us live in the vicinity and German is our first language. What more do you need?

Are you nuts? Of course it's a terrorist attack.
