And now a bar blows up with an apparent explosive device. Is this the fourth in south Germany in less than a week ? The Obama-Merkel plan was to let ISIS in, and then smear average people as bigots when attacks happen.

The Munich shooter sounds more like a German nativist, murdering Kosovo Albanians, Turks and even a Greek Muslim.

Europe is in for a summer of terror. It was all preventable, too. I hope the policymakers whose decisions are putting their citizens in such danger are held accountable one day.

To me, the Munich shooter sounds more like a German Adam Lanza or Eric Harris or Dylan Klebold. I don't see a political or nationalist angle to this. I see a maladjusted young person striking out at the society that he feels has excluded him. I think the nationalities of the victims was coincidental and the real reason they were targeted was because they were together socializing and having fun. They were enjoying the life that the shooter felt he had been denied and he made them pay.

I agree this is about an angst-ridden teen. The biggest question though is *HOW DID HE GET THE GUN!?!?

Ah yes, you would LOVE that, wouldn´t you! In the event, it makes perfect sense that as a Shiite muslim, he would be a target of bullying by the Turkish and Kovovan Sunnis in his grade. The Sunni-Shiite does not stop at German borders.

"German nativist" -- LOL. The Germans are so brow-beaten with their officiall prescribed guilt-complex, I would love to see the half-life of suich a creature.

NB: "German nativist" -- LOL. The Germans are so brow-beaten with their officiall prescribed guilt-complex, I wound if you could find such a creature.
