A German-Iranian teenager who shot dead nine people in Munich was a deranged lone gunman obsessed with mass killings who drew no inspiration from Islamist militancy, police said on Saturday.

You make a response like that and have “JOHN 3:16” as your tag. :-)

As I said, I’d like to believe the claim myself, but don’t want to be taken in by a story that seems implausible. (I criticize the other side for citing lies as evidence, and would rather not be guilty of the same thing.)

> What possible motive could she have to make up such a story???

To make herself seem important? (The part about having been right next to him fits with that.) And her son too (for allegedly having seen him in the bathroom before the shooting)? The “Allahu ackbar” part could be to discredit Islam (or just to make the event seem more important than an ordinary shooting).

Someone else, with a Muslim name, claimed that he heard the shooter insult immigrants. I don’t believe him either because that claim doesn’t fit with the shooter’s ethnic background, or with his statements in the video on the parking garage roof. I suspect that “witness” was trying to take the blame off Muslims and shift it to anti-Muslims. People often lie about events like this for various reasons (initial accounts of the Jefferson shooting are an example).

> It certainly did not look like he shot 36 people in front of the McDonalds. Probably there was shooting inside as well as outside.

He went across the street to the mall and parking garage.

I’m not sure that no shooting took place inside McDonalds, but the usual expression in the news reports is that the shooting started “at” a McDonalds, not “in” a McDonalds. Also the McDonalds video starts with pedestrians walking up to him in front of the building. If there had already been shooting, you’d think some of them would have heard the shots or screams.

(It’s odd that somebody is already making a video, but nothing seems to be happening for the first few seconds. If the camera person knows a shooting has already taken place, why doesn’t he yell out a warning to the pedestrians who are approaching the shooter? And run himself? When the shooting does start in front of McDonalds, the person making the video turns and runs within a second or so.)

I’m continuing to check the news, but mostly I just get rehashed statements of what we’ve already heard. The authorities should know by now exactly where the people were shot. Maybe eventually we’ll hear about it.

Who is this “other side” to whom you refer?
We are ALL on the same “side”, I reckon.

Why the screaming of Allah Akbar according to a Muslim witness.
