Really hate to see this keep happening. I was in Munich 3 years ago for opening day Oktoberfest, really enjoyed the city while there. Everyone was very nice and it was just beautiful. All these attacks of whatever kind keep happening over there and its terrible. Buddy from work is just getting back from Paris, it didnt stop him from going but I have heard of other people changing their plans because of this.

Supposedly a few gunmen on the loose, but could be wrong. They thought there was more than one before too. If so, I hope they catch them. Terrible for the families who were just out enjoying themselves.

"Few gunmen" seems to be quite common in early reporting these days, for a single shooter. We need to be extra vigilant not to assign blame until we actually know the details.

*edit
Having said that... some reporting does follow a trend. But I urge caution until they release the ID of the killer. Crazies like to play games. A connection must be firmly established first.

Not good for Obama. Obama just commented how Trump's last night fear mongering speech was not the reality, then this happens.
Not good for Obama. Oh no... not good.
Good for Trump making his point. But kinda screwed up Obama's comments over Trump's fear mongering.

Because if we're going to go there... only one leader wants to protect the border and recheck our immigration policy. Everyone else demands more refugees, etc.

Are they shot with legal guns?

with great certainty, yes.

Of course, all guns are legal guns at some point. A gun must first be a legal gun before it can become...what, an "illegal" gun?

but of course you understand that.

You're right, it's actually slightly more often than once a day.

Maybe in people's houses, shooting their loved ones. EDIT: I would also like you to say exactly how you define 'gangland'. This should be interesting.



Sorry this doesn't fit your narrative.

your bullshit article is bullshit.

Two databases that track mass shootings that leave four or more dead or wounded — shootingtracker.com and gunviolencearchive.org — depend on news accounts and are not official.

But let that wont be the last time you use flatlander lmsm news to support your bullshit position.

Especially one who's on the way out anyway. What reason does he possibly have to care if something is good for him or not now? He's getting his library and speaking fees regardless.

He's president for another half of year, it is not a free ride. Since this is happening frequently lately in EU, he'll be one to blame when this sh** becomes frequent here too.

Couldn't be.

Regardless, this won't send me running scared from muslims unlike the chicken little armchair warriors in this forum (you know who you are).

And the Guardian reported this:

"Luan Zequiri, a witness who was near the restaurant at the time of the initial shooting, has told broadcaster n-tv that he saw only one attacker, wearing boots and a backpack, who shouted “an anti-foreigner slur”."

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/jul/22/munich-shooting-what-we-know-so-far

and The Telegraph:

"A Muslim woman told CNN that she heard the gunman yell: "Allahu Akbar," yet video footage showed a gunman ranting against foreigners and Turks, suggesting a Neo Nazi attack."

Probably best not to start counting chickens just yet.

German government cover-up? Wouldn't be out of place that puts people in jail for speaking against Muslim terrorists and lies about rape.

That's beyond the pale. We do not know the attacker. Your accusations are built upon one another. It's too much.

The guy was being called a "fucking turk," not the other way around. In that same rooftop video he also talks about growing up in the ghetto, on welfare, and being a psych patient.
