Like I said in the other thread, Merkels chickens are coming home to roost.
Doubly so today

"Syrian asylum seeker" , carrying a backpack, refused entry to festival, so detonates said backpack at the entrance.
Edit: that should read "FAILED Syrian asylum seeker"

Ansbach guy is Pro IS according to latest reports: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-36882831
That edit is quite a big one - why did he fail in his asylum bid? Maybe Germany are a bit better clued up than some are giving them credit for.
Some people say they are actively importing terrorism - sensationalist viewpoint, completely infactual. Germany have gone on record to say they need net migration of 400,000 per annum just to keep the economy growing. How "open" is the door in this open door policy? Do people think that there are no background checks - would like to see any links if possible.
Not saying its related but i think today is the fifth anniversary of the norwegian massacre.
Short video of inside the shopping centre.
There are several injured and bloodied people in the footage, so don't click to view if you might feel upset.
Disappointing to see these posts before any confirmation of the attackers. It feels as though there are many right wingers who have been waiting for some time to make these kind of comments to Merkel.
Germany have saved in excess of a million Syrian refugees. A few of whom I'm lucky to say are now my friends. The truth is tragic and horrifying terrorist events give apathetic people the excuse to avoid making a contribution to help the situation.
It's because we expect them to find some ID on or around the dead suspect's bodies, followed by a quick raid on their homes which will reveal things like flags and confession videos, and to wrap it all up an organisation beginning with 'i' will claim responsibilty, all before the 10 O' Clock news.
Cue wall-to-wall witness interviews, hashtags, vigils, etc,. and then the story will disappear forever.

With regards to the Paris or Brussels attacks, wasn't it the case that those responsible had been in the country for years if not born there? With regards to the beach attacks (and how sad is it that there are so many that details are becoming blurred and vague?) isn't it the case that it was lone wolves?
Owning a black flag does not make you part of an international terrorist group nor does an international terrorist group claiming your actions necessarily mean you are part of that group. Certainly, linking saving many innocent lives to an increased risk of attack does not stand with "jihadi John" and all others who have left Europe to go fight for a intolerant and intolerable ideology that betrays the faith it claims to be grounded in.
Completely open borders will make it easier for those individuals wanting to strike out in such a way but arbitrary targets and expensive and complicated forms, with little hope for appeal, and people staying here just because we've miscalculated how many we can get rid of against number of plane seats does not make the UK safer.
Ah, my mistake. I saw the title and that it was posted today. Me thinks another trip to Specsavers is in the offing.
I thought some people might be interested. Sky are reporting that the AP news agency say eight killed.
I just can't believe that the Germans didn't have the complete police force of Munich there on the scene in anticipation of such an event.
They are all targets in public gatherings such as this.
Poor show.
