WTF is going on in the world

[Ombudsam]

f***ing elk. The world feels sick.

18yr old German-Iranian. Talk of him shouting anti-foreigner rhetoric before shooting.

[Nerik]

Seems like a classic chase of a shooting rampage. No links to terrorist groups. Born and raised in Germany, history of depression, had loads of books on the topic of mass-shootings, anniversary of Breivik's rampage etc.

[Redray]

Reports suggesting he set up a fake Facebook id as someone called Selma and encouraged other youngsters to meet up at MacDonalds. Most of of the 9 he killed were immigrants.

 

One Greek lad too. Died when he pushed his sister out the way of his line of fire. Heartbreaking stuff.

[Nerik]

Yeah. Sickening stuff.

Well he might spontaneously combust now as that ManjI reporter is covering the Ansbach suicide bombing for Channel 4 news.

I'm concerned about the relationship of the thread title to the thread topic. 

[Cobs]

perhaps a 'Murdering Bast*rds' catch all thread?

[Swan Red]

Something like that, google bot must think we like all this stuff.

I'm concerned about the relationship of the thread title to the thread topic. 

 

haha I've been concerned about this ever since the thread created. Context will be lost somewhere down the line.

A mate has just posted this on Facebook

 

"The violence we see in the world now is unique. For sure, our history is full of violence. But it was mostly "rational", done by groups driven by grand ideologies or a primitive desire for conquest and wealth accumulation. Now, from Norway to the US, from Germany to Japan, and of course in the so-called Islamic world, in India and South Africa, ordinary individuals seem to be somehow being turned into private one-man destruction machines, killing, raping and burning. We make a big mistake when we think of all these cases, if they are not "terrorism", as individual cases, not connected, not as a phenomenon. They must be connected. Direct violence is almost always a symptom for something deeper, an inherent "structural violence" that we are not supposed to see. It is hidden from us by a world of trivialties. We are drowning in an overload of irrelevant and misleading information that is blinding us and making us numb. We don't even have the language, the conceptual tools, that can enable us to begin to make sense of how truly, in this globalised world, everything is connected to everything else: even the falling leaf affects the farthest star, as a wise man once said."
