Discussion: Police: Shots Fired At Munich Shopping Center

Trump tweet coming: “I predicted this would happen. And only I can stop it on Day 1 of my administration. Inspired by Hillary’s attack on Benghazi. Sad. Thanks Obama. ____ Ted Cruz sux.”

No crazy is too crazy for the GOP. Gov. McCrory of NC actually accused Bill and Hillary Clinton, in cahoots with a mole they had within the NBA offices, of conspiring to strip the NBA All-Star game from Charlotte.

More hate filled fear coming from Trump. He will milk this to the max

France and Germany wisely refused to hop on the Bush/Blair shit train to Iraq. Too bad they are reaping most of the non-Middle Eastern pain caused by that total blunder. My heart goes out.

I object. TeaRump, aka Herr Drumpf, doesn’t have a toupee, just the most monstrous, obvious comb-over ever conceived by the human mind. All the rest, totes accurate.

Germany’s turning in the the current version of us and we’re turning into the retro version of them.

Bush and Cheney needs to go down in history for the criminal blunder they made regarding Iraq. His Presidency lead to more trouble for this country than from any other modern President I can remember.

I lived very near that mall, back in 2003. In the summertime it was always crowded with young people… shopping, socializing and eating; the very definition of a “soft target.” It goes without saying, of course, that the perpetrators of this kind of attack are f-ing cowards, but damn… it still takes my breath away.

Shootings of any kind are bad no matter where they take place, but when they take place in countries like Germany, they just give the NRA more to work with.

“See? We told you that gun control doesn’t work!”

According to The Hill, the shooter screamed anti-immigrant words as he killed. Guess Trump won’t be tweeting about this after all.

Hey, Republicans!

Is there any chance we can get Donald’s “simple” and sure-fire plan for defeating ISIS before the election? It’d sure look good for your pro-life creds, you know?

Oh, it wasn’t just this country. They fucked up many countries and we are seeing the results of that all over the world. They should be in jail. Forever. Along with the neocons who enabled and encouraged them, including Bill Kristol.

Excellent point. Munich proves it isn’t just here.

I don’t believe in a global right wing conspiracy, but I do believe in a global conservative phenomenon.

In America, had the conservative movement’s (i.e. Gingrich’s) theory of power based on obstructionism been relegated to AM talk radio, it might have run its life cycle a lot more quickly.

But Internet communication in the 90s — not to minimize a cable network clearinghouse (Fox) — provided a platform to propagate the formula, and there’s a lot of smart, ambitious, power hungry oligarchs out there, who’ve learned the right wing propaganda method, and are applying it elsewhere (Brexit). Trump is just the consummate American manifestation of it.

The “conservative movement” is a very serious problem, because, done right, it works. Especially if followers are religiously committed to the oligarch, armed, and trigger happy (ISIS).

You forgot mosquitoes…of course he might fear them because the name sounds like Mosque. Wait a minute…that’s it…the Zika virus is a part of Islamic terrorism. And…virus are cells…so they’re terrorist cells…it’s all clear to me.

Ten deaths, and three further victims with life threatening conditions.

This doesn’t look like it has an Islamist background.

It turned out there was only one shooter, who took his own life, before police caught up with him.

Video shows him in a shouting match with residents, where the perp admitted he received psychiatric treatment in the past.

Love the graphic!

Man, I hope you’re wrong on both counts.
