Acts of Terrorism megathread

Which other rights are you not a fan of?

The right to own a bazooka, a tank, a nuclear submarine, a ballistic missile launch site and that sort of things.
I never pretended to be a libertarian.

Okay, so just the rights of to weapons, free speech and religion.  Nothing else?

Free speech includes opposition to anti-blasphemy laws, something Viper is against , careful Raz!

I guess while we are at it, what rights would you take away from people?

They came pretty close.  I read that Lamar Hunt had to pawn his Super Bowl IV ring, and several family members lost their homes.

I think my mental recollection of the Hunt corner is mixed up with the Murphy-Ackroyd Trading Places (where the main baddies are clearly based on/inspired by the Hunt brothers).

only religion is an absolute right in canada.  right to free speech is not as absolute as in the US, and there is definately no such thing as a right to weapons.

Semi-related. This week, police found an illegal arms collection/stockpile in Schleswig-Holstein. Rusted mortar shells, panzerfausts, rifles, a machine gun, several kilograms of explosives, plus chemicals and material for making ammo, ...

Here's a picture of what they found:



Oh, wait, that picture is from 2015, and was found with the same guy (he also stored 90 kg of TNT at the time).

The story is basically a footnote.

Now imagine if the 40 year oldweirdo/wannabe collector wasn't a guy with a German name, but rather was called Murat or Hüseyin - this would have been all over the news.

Horse cavalry isn't used much anymore, so I don't think people would care.

I'd bet on organised crime rather than terrorism, though.

I'd bet on organised crime rather than terrorism, though.

Why? Because it took place on shisha bars?

11 dead. The supposed perp and another person were found dead in his apartment. Police say that a note and video have been recovered from his place, but the contents haven't been confirmed yet.

Le Figaro, through Bild, says far-right. No mentally unstable understatement, as for islamists.

German press have named the suspect in the Hanau shootings as Tobias R, a German national. He reportedly left behind a confessional letter and video which make clear he had far-Right motives. According to one unconfirmed report, in the video he speaks of the need to "destroy" communities who can no longer be "expelled" from Germany.

The letter and video reportedly shows signs of confusion and paranoia. The letter includes a "personal message to all Americans" in which Tobias R claims there are underground facilities in the US where children and mistreated and killed. It urges Americans to "wake up and fight" against this.

The video reportedly includes claims Germany is controlled by intelligence services. It is also denigratory of Arab and Turkish immigrants.

Tobias R was found dead when police stormed his home in Hanau in the early hours of the morning. The body of an elderly woman was also found. Reports she was the gunman's mother have not been confirmed.

They're not exactly claiming he was mentally stable.
