Apperently the guy from Munchen was from a Christian family and mainly killed Turkish teenagers (he also was pestered at school by Turkish kids). Ofcourse is still not entirely clear if this has any real connection with each other, since there were also some other things which happenend to him I think. Anyway, so much for people's gut feelings...
Latest known details are:
- mobbed in school (no nationality of the mobbers is mentioned)
- right wing nationalist
- was known for racist behaviour in online games
- in contact with at least two other possible future amok runners
- fan of Breivik (Norway shooting 5 years ago) and AfD (German right populist party mainly known for firing against refugees and abusing all the recent occurences for their propaganda)
- a shop worker in the OEZ mentioned the guy in fact did pick his victims and clearly let others pass. He targeted foreigners with priority.
- no connection to IS in any way, although some IS site tried to claim this shooting as its victory the first few hours.
What happened is a perfect example for what can happen when:
- you treat people like shit
- you let nationalist and racist tendencies run free
- you stigmatize a certain group of humans before any details are clear
- you blame shooter games yet again for what has happened
- rumors in social media get out of control
It's big fuck up which is different to what many people here expected in the first moment they heard the breaking news.
For the victims and their relatives however it does not make a huge difference anymore.
Unfortunately when looking at social media these days, people are not learning from it. Not a single bit.
