LIBERAL GERMANIC MORONS AT IT AGAIN

[Bansh88]

Boys, Boys! There's plenty of Islamist Terror acts this week to go around. We'll go ahead and let this Iranian-German issue slide.

Like Obama said, the sun is shining and birds are chirping. The world has never been safer!

Because it wasn't relevant to the events that brought the shooter to the world's attention.

That's a speculation (as much as implying that it *was* relevant would be.)

Europe is quite different from the US. Ethnicity is the primary identifier, not nationality. A fifth generation "German national" from Iran would still be called "Iranian" in Europe.

Please explain how being born in Germany, of Iranian parents, schooled in the German school system, raised with other German kids, and never have travelled out of Germany, let alone to Iran, his ethnic background has anything to do with this shooting?

I am *not* saying it does, but only because I haven't seen any evidence, not because being raised in Germany in any way contributes to the assumption you're making.

Europe is not US. Every country in Europe is *defined* by the underlying ethnicity of the people who formed the country. Nobody in Europe would call this kid a "German." That's just the fact of life in Europe. That's also why it might have been much more significant contributing factor than what it looks like to you. (Or it could have been completely irrelevant - it's a speculation either way.)

Germans will have to block all firearms imports from Smyrna, Georgia now.

I was getting my information from my German MIL and her relatives that are still that are still in Germany. When we last spoke on Saturday, they informed me that this kid was considered German because he was born in Germany and raised as a German. Most Germans are less concerned about ethnicity than the average European because of the whole issue of the master race with the Nazis.

My German wife also confirms the same information though she has not been back to Germany in over 20 years.

I realize that this is a very small group of people to base any opinion on but it is my direct link to average Germans in Germany without the information being filtered through an American lens.

I already know how easy it is to get guns in Germany through unofficial channels. One of the family members told me how easy it was to drive to Poland and pick up a few handguns and bring them back and many officials looked the other way as long as you were known to be a good citizen.

Iran is the world's largest sponsor of terrorism..... but this was work place violence. The terrorist was actually a German, right winger all the way. Don't let the evil right wingers convince you that this attack was related to the 47 other terrorist attacks this week in Germany. Lone wolf all the way.

I'd argue that Saudi Arabia is the largest state sponsor of terrorism

He wasn't Islamic either. He was apparently a follower of Anders Behring Breivik

Thank you! Yes this was an anders Brunswick attack. No way terrorists would commit their atrocities on the 5 year anniversary. Germany needs more middle eastern immigrants so their children can grow up and make Germany like Syria and even Iran!

Meh. Little Satan, big Satan.

(Shhhhh don't bring up the Shia vs. Sunni violence that the socialists imported to Germany. Remember the party line: this was a european right wing attack. Carry on.)

Helpless unarmed victims gunned down by a Islamic Immigrant nut with a gun. Which he like all criminals, aquired illegaly. So they want to pass further limits on law abiding citizens. Creating even more helpless unarmed victims. For the next criminal to slaughter.

Sounds like California!

"Considered German" is PC language.

Ask them whether there are any Gypsies in Germany. It's a trick question.

[skyscraper]

That refers to the attack a week before and their is strong evidence that that jerk was doing it for ISIS.

:face palm:

You do not like my first news source, try this: http://www.reuters.com/article/us-ge...-idUSKCN1021YZ

Or try the many others that I visited and read before posting my reply. To save time I just posted the link to the one article that included most of the information. It is the same information from most of the German language news sources and the English versions of the German news sources..

I suggest you read carefully so you make sure you are commenting on the same story.

No **** sherlock, the story I posted was different than yours. Try reading my post again.

After so many years of continuous authoritarian governments and two world wars fought on their home soil somehow the idea of the self-preserving citizen is widely lost on the Germans. What has come to replace it within the last 100 years or so is the concept of the "state monopoly of defensive violence" (the state alone has the right to use or authorize the use of physical force, see here: https://www.britannica.com/topic/sta...ly-on-violence). The public generally expects the system to keep the people safe and falls into a helpless state of shock upon each realization that it cannot possibly live up to that expectation. The rationale of the defensible citizen is not something that I expect to somehow return to the German conscience at any point in the near future.

I know all about those Schwein. They refuse to integrate and just steal you blind or worse.

Turks also fall into that same category.
