As far as I know, the attacker in munich (unlike the guy in Würzburg) was neither a nazi, nor a islamist. He was just sick, and attracted to mass murderers. That's why he adored the murderer from norway.
German gun laws are pretty complex and sometimes just weird. I'll write a little on that topic, when I have some time left.
If guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns.
The info I can find indicates eye witnesses saying he was shouting Allah Akbar while shooting.Originally Posted by Luger

I'm going to re-visit this later and hopefully more objectively.

As best I can tell, only a single eyewitness has actually stated that, and eyewitness accounts are inherently unreliable. Beyond that, even if he did say it, that alone is not enough to attribute it to Islamism to this attack, given the other set of allegations (information about other mass shootings found in Sonboly's possessions, undergoing psychiatric treatment, reports of being bullied, being of Iranian decent rather than typical Sunni areas, etc.).
^^^QFT, regarding eyewitnesses. I'll admit that the first potential motivation crossing my mind when the news broke was not some sort of splinter Aryan Brotherhood beliefs but, on the other hand, "eyewitness accounts" is what gave us that whole mythical "hands up, don't shoot" horseshit in the first place. Probably best to wait until the techs have had their way with his computer and search records. Until then 'some asshole' definitely works.
Whereas we have video of him yelling "I'm German!" Memories lie a lot more often than Memorex.
If Angela Merkel and her ilk have their way, the two won't be mutually exclusive for long..
They're not mutually exclusive now. Dude was born and grew up in Germany.
From the latest at CNN:
Jihadis don't eat a gun when confronted by the cops. Whacko spree killers do.Speaking at a press conference in the southern German city Saturday, police officials said the 18-year-old lone attacker -- who died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound -- had no political motivations, and no references to religion had been found in documents in his home.
Rather, investigators searching his belongings found numerous documents on rampage killings, including a book entitled "Rampage in My Mind -- Why Students Kill," said Robert Heimberger, president of the Bavarian State Criminal Police Office.
That^is very true. Probably the most pertinent fact mentioned so far.
