Munich gunman fixated on mass killing, had no Islamist ties

[jeeelim5]

A German-Iranian teenager who shot dead nine people in Munich was a deranged lone gunman obsessed with mass killings who drew no inspiration from Islamist militancy, police said on Saturday.

The 18-year-old, born and raised locally, opened fire near a busy shopping mall on Friday evening, triggering a lockdown in the Bavarian state capital.

Thanks for this clarification. There's an attack every day now. Another one in Kabul today :(

Jesus. It's getting to the point where I don't even want to read the news.

Also, he was deliberately targeting Turks, Arabs, and Albanians.

Thank you for this. I remember learning that theory in history in school but I was completely ignorant to the fact that some people in Iran believed it.

Thanks for posting this. I knew the anthropology, but had no idea it had also been twisted by white supremacists in this way. That is seriously wack.
