#2 What drives an adherent of Religion of Peace to commit an act of terror? Can science answer this question?

#3 Society drove this poor kid. Society. Always.
German press has already criticized the Bavarian who insulted the killer. So insensitive.

Btw this Bavarian tried to take him out by throwing a beer bottle at him and was shot at.

#5 From The Daily Mail:

An anonymous person posted on a website - thought to be a chat room - that they went to the same school as Ali Sonboly

They wrote on a website, thought to be a chat room, that pupils 'always mobbed' Sonboly - which in German means 'bullied' - while he was at school.

The post read: 'I know this f****** guy, his name is ali sonboly. he was in my class back than (sic). we always mobbed him in school. and he always told us that he would kill us.'

He was put through a trade school in his early teenage years when it became apparent he was unlikely to complete the standard German Abitur exams.

But he ended up failing at his school too, blaming bullying by 'Turkish and Arabic' schoolmates as being the reason for his poor educational performance.

Yesterday it was suggested that this might have been a Sunni-Shia thing. But the Guardian article made it clear the outgoing younger brother had no problems in the same community, so perhaps it was that any excuse will do for those inclined toward "mobbing".

#8 This is typical of lefty thinking. People are basically good, so if they do something bad then someone or something must have driven them to it. Poverty, society, bullying - something. It takes a more level head to accept that people are ***not*** basically good.

#17 Police say this is not an accident. The person killed looks like to have been the culturally enriching one.

#19 It looks like a major attack was avoided. Maybe the explosive did go off too early? I'm sure he was waiting for the nearby festival to finish and target exiting people. In that case he could have killed dozens.

Note there is also a US base in Ansbach.

#20 Perpetrator is a 20yo Syrian national who was denied asylum but allowed to stay temporarily because of the war in Syria.

He wanted to enter the festival (2500 people) but was refused entry.

He carried an explosive which killed him and injured 10 people.

That could have been a major terror attack.

#21 27yo Syrian living in a government-paid flat, attempted 2 suicides before (without bomb).

Walked with a backback of explosives, was refused entry to the festival because he had no ticket, then went kaboom in front of the entrance.

He could have killed dozens.
