Munich Terrorist Linked To Neo-Nazi Mass Murderer

The gunman who killed nine people in Munich was obsessed with mass shootings and had an obvious link to Norwegian mass murderer Anders Behring Breivik, German police say.

Police who searched the 18-year-old's room say they found written material on attacks.

The gunman, who later killed himself, had a 9mm Glock pistol and 300 bullets.

Police are investigating whether he may have lured his victims through a Facebook invitation to a restaurant.

He is suspected of using a fake account under a girl's name to invite people to the McDonald's restaurant where he launched his attack.

I have obvious links to Gorbachev, Stain, Lenin, and Lunacharsky. I have some of their writings.

Crap, I'm also an Islamist. I have stuff by Qutb sitting around. Someplace. Even worse, it's in Arabic. (Then again, there are Arabic dictionaries, grammars, textbooks, and even a Qur'an and some Ahadith.)

Let's not mention my Orthodox Slavonic NT or the Berdyaev "Russkaia ideia" book. Gotta be a Russist.


The guy was obsessed with massacres, reports to date are. Breivik committed a massacre. (Please notice the boldfaced underlined non-symbol after the "e" in "massacre", as well.) Having that alone makes him no more RW than having stuff on the Bataclan killings makes him ISIS.

You reach for straws and come up with a stray phytolith.

I counsel patience.

murderers; but I doubt very much that there was ever any contact.

This man sounds more and more like a mentally ill, embittered, lone wolf.
