Developing: Terrorist Operation In Progress At Munich Mall
 
https://www.theguardian.com/world/li...ng-centre-live

Reports are now that this one maybe one of two or three such attacks currently in progress.

All these attacks and I still cannot figure out what is driving them.

A desire to see Trump become president of the US, Farage become British PM, LePen become president of France, Wilders become PM of the Netherlands, etc. It'll work too.

Yes, that must be it. :rolleyes:

Also, just so we can be consistent here in this forum: anticipating that discussion of this act of terrorism will devolve into a debate about gun control, I'll offer that German gun laws are among the most restrictive in Europe.

Yes, it is, moron. You don't think that ISIS or al Qaeda would be pleased to see western democracies swing radically to the right and become increasingly nativist and Islamophobic? It is, after all, the stated aim of no less a figure than Osama Bin Laden.

They're among the arrows in their quiver, so why the mockery?

And their firearms death rate is but a small fraction of ours.

Why is their motivation relevant? These folks are the absolute personification of evil, and they need to be exterminated.

No shit. It's their specific aim, outlined in their literature and speeches. The Right's inherent tough guy attitude plays right into the terrorists' hands.
