Another fucking spree shooting. Great.

Iran sent that Saudi national.

jesus, that's not "several shots," that's a fusillade

I saw 'thread updated by Fuck the NRA' and was hoping it was about the Houston police chief telling off the NRA etc, thinking for once it wouldn't be a tragic thread bump.

Right-wing German kills 11 in Hanau (Hessen), mostly(?) Kurdish immigrants at a "shisha" bar. Anti-immigrant screed confession note.

Fucking terrifying. What's happening to Germany (again)?

And the sheer amount of comments claiming this is somewhat understandable given the recent influx of Syrian refugees is absolutely sickening.

Yeah I'm not going to read those comments :( It is terrifying. The attacks, obviously, but the German push to the right is equally frightening.

We don't really discuss German politics on here, but there's a big row over the PM of Thüringen, Kemmerich, who was chosen with the support of AfD and Merkel's CDU. Merkel disapproved, saw it as breaking the de facto cordon sanitaire to engage with AfD. Kemmerich lasted all but one day. AfD are pressing legal charges against Merkel. It won't hold up, but the cat's out of the bag. Even Gerhard fucking Schröder said Merkel was out of line here... From left to right there's the fear her 'crackdown' on the Thüringen coalition will only make AfD bigger. Frightening times.

It is crazy. Especially because Die Linke has been untouchable for decades, with nobody complaining, but all of a sudden it's neo-nazis being kept at bay, and we just really have to listen to the people, you know?

In his rambling statement, the Hanau attacker also claims to have invented the slogan “America First” and predicted the plots of numerous Hollywood movies, as well as the career of Liverpool FC’s coach, Jürgen Klopp.

Er.

donald is that you

shooting + bomb(s) at a health clinic in minnesota

https://www.startribune.com/gunfire-at-clinic-in-wright-county-leaves-several-seriously-wounded/600020966

love to live in a country where there's a whole list of possible reasons someone might shoot up and bomb a clinic

Mookie, can you C&P three paras from that Strib story? Paywall.

Not paywalled for me.

Gunshots erupted at a health clinic in Wright County late Tuesday morning followed by a bomb exploding, and at least five people were reported to be wounded by the gunfire.

The scene is the Allina Health Clinic in Buffalo on Crossroads Campus Drive, according to police, who were called there about 10:55 a.m.

Up to five people are said to be wounded, and a male suspect has been detained, according to emergency dispatch audio.

A female with three gunshot wounds was taken by air ambulance to North Memorial Health Hospital in Robbinsdale, where two others also were transported, emergency medical personnel were heard saying on dispatch audio. Two others were taken to Allina-operated Buffalo Hospital, the audio continued.

About 30 minutes later, a bomb went off in the family medicine and urgent care clinic, the dispatch audio revealed. That explosion forced responding emergency medical personnel to relocate, the audio continued.

"We just had a bomb go off in the clinic," dispatch audio disclosed. "They're evacuating the clinic parking lot, so we're going to go stage back at the child-care center we originally staged at."

A spokesman for the full Allina Health system was heading to the scene early Tuesday afternoon to assess the situation and possibly disclose further details.

"He wouldn't even cuss."

"decent people" in 2021 still judging the moral character of murdering shitheads from their hesitancy in using swears, they are culpable here too

At a news conference, a law enforcement official says early indications are that Atlanta-area mass shooter Robert Aaron Long may have been motivated by issues stemming from "sexual addiction," not racism -- but he cautions that the investigation is in an early stage pic.twitter.com/jCyDGyZxQ7

this crime is also being discussed here: Rolling Race 2021 fwiw

did they give this fucker some McDonalds because he really wanted a Big Mac too? FFS

oh ok

but, i mean, this is a legit place to disuss it, too!

cops do have that curious empathy for white dudes who kill nonwhite people...

it is a mystery

JFC... horrible.

I think it's quite possible to be both a 'sex addict' and a racist, they're not mutually exclusive.
