Mass shooting in Munich

Scroll to see replies

Police now say three suspects on the run with 'longweapons' (bureaucratic German for anything longer than a handgun, i.e. rifles/shotguns etc.). GSG9 rushing into Munich. One reporter says he saw soldiers, which I find pretty unlikely as the German constitution prohibits the use of the armed forces in the interior except for in extraordinary situations of catastrophic dimensions, e.g. terror attacks the police cannot deal with alone.

There are people right across the middle east, who will happily tell you they have no interest or desire for such a transition. The only Muslim country I can see becoming progressive is Shia Iran, everywhere else is moving towards something a European with his eyes open would regard as far-right.

The government monopoly on use of force is only justifiable if the government is capable of defending law abiding citizens to an acceptable level. This is looking increasingly dubious right across Europe.

LOL!
Recently Egypt's president gave a speech advocating "reforming" Islam, so that's a start, although he isn't doing much to support it.

If most Englishmen were homophobic and opposed to the rights of women, why is it society has since come to accept both homosexuals and women's rights?

Prior to 1967, male on male homosexual activities were illegal and it was only in 1991 that marital rape was criminalised. Clearly, there has been a change in cultural thought in the last few decades; these shifts take time.

Personally I would say that Britain has been one of the most progressive and forward thinking nations, I mean we're the first country to ban slavery for example, if as those on the left are so quick to claim, our history is full of bigots, idiots and racists, then how we got to where we are today is just beyond me.

It's relevant to the topic, it's just that I am a brown person so I kinda feel it*. But yea it's only a side-note, not worthy of a Guardian or BBC update.

*Yea I also feel for the dead people much much more, before you retards jump on my horse. It's just a thought.

But obviously not the victims of Islamic terror attacks, because their ancestors owned slaves and US foreign policy

Those supposedly in place to 'serve and protect' and keep 'law and order': "look after yourselves and avoid public places"

Don't know what you're insinuating, but the German 'Passt auf euch auf.' is a friendly phrase meaning 'Take care!', not 'You're on your own.'. And I don't see the security forces sitting on their arses drinking tea.

I think victims of all forms of terror should be respected, are you telling me only ones of Islamic terror are respect-worthy?

Some of them do. In fact, most of them do. The evil minority is dangerous and should be destroyed, though.

Oh great you again. I don't want you to reply to my posts you have nothing interesting I want to hear thank you.

Don't know if you know this, but this is a public forum where I am allowed to do whatever I want within the bounds. I am free to discredit any daft point you make, you don't have to reply to me though.

It is. Like the guy has no proof the Trapz user is white, yet made such a stupid comment.

If you think that literally means every man prior to 1991 was either a homophobic or a rapist, you're a fool.

You might wish to check your sources, the link clearly proves I am right.

•

1537: Pope Paul III forbids slavery of the indigenous peoples of the Americas as well as of any other new population that would be discovered, indicating their right to freedom and property (Sublimus Deus). However, only Catholic countries apply it, and state that they cannot possibly enforce what happens in the distant colonies. - so not abolished ok

•

1542: Spain enacted the New Laws, abolishing slavery of Native Americans in 1542. But replaced it with other systems of forced labor such as repartimiento. Slavery of Black Africans was not abolished.- so still not actually abolished

•

1569: An English court case involving Cartwright, who had brought a slave from Russia, ruled that English law could not recognise slavery. - here we are

kind of like how you assumed the shooter is muslim without having any proof.. or if you didn't get that sarcasm then you're either trolling or just genuinely very thick
