DEVELOPING: A gunman in a mask stormed a movie theater in western Germany Friday and opened fire wounding several people, local media reported.

Investigators would not immediately confirm the number of wounded, but described it as a "threat situation."

The Kinopolis movie theater is located in Viernheim, approximately 40 miles south of Frankfurt.

Police in the nearby city of Mannheim sent officers to support the operation, spokesman Norbert Schaetzle told reporters.

It was mentioned on another thread that the gunman was actually firing blanks and the injuries were from stampede of patrons as well as gas/smoke deployment from law enforcement.

There was a mosque in Germany that was discovered to have a weapons stash just this week.

(conspiracy by a group, not individual action like Orlando).

You confuse verifiable, organized subversive and destructive action by more than 'just one' with promulgating an ideology, a culture and a disease that works tirelessly to infest even the second generation Muslims in this country, ENCOURAGES THEM, to do these things.

Just because our Media and our government won't allow the full extent of connection with these people to be outed, it doesn't mean that it doesn't go on. Our government is totally invested in maintaining the myth they have things under control when they clearly do not. You need only to examine San Bernardino and Orlando to see that.

I'll give it a try.

PC speak does not allow us to stereotype or assume that a certain ethnic group is committing most of the crime or most of a certain type of crime. So Freepers just insert the group that is least likely to be perps, the Amish. Instead of saying "blacks again" or "moslems again" they say, "must be those Amish (terrorists) again.

As an aside, I am looking to retire in an area that is drawing a lot of Mennonites. They make quiet neighbors who don't rob or steal very much. Ooops, sorry.

The “amish” joke is more reaction to the medias refusal to give descriptions of a perp, whether using euphemisms such as “Teen” or “Youth” or just “A Man” or “Masked Gunman”. The Amish are known for their pacifism and do not act out in Mall Mobs or State Fair Mobs. It is a toungue in cheeck reaction to the media assuming we are too stupid to figure out the description of the perp when they go to such blatant lengths to “hide” it

Unfortunately, many here co-opted the “Amish” joke and apply it to blacks. Not at all as applicable because Amish are religious and Moslems are religious. Black is a race. I wish that bad joke would stop; apples and oranges.

Many apply it that way because it is considered politically incorrect to point out this particular truth; Young black males represent about 3% of the population, but commit 40% of all violent crime.

If you point this out, liberals will label you "racist" because they really don't care about truth. How they "feel" about things is what is important to them.

This can't be true. According to the law library of congress, "The German system of gun control is among the most stringent in Europe".

Therefore, it must be fake.

A "Neo Nazi" probably named "Mohammad."

It is just a metaphor for the fact that media and government REFUSE to name perpetrators, suspected perpetrators and ‘persons unknown’ as black, illegal Hispanic, Muslim or otherwise when circumstances and logic tells most sane people that’s what the problem was. Political correctness taken to the absurd.

Saying “Amish” is just away to say “bullshit” to all these supposed truthsayers. No one on this forum believes that the Amish are anything else but law-abiding citizens. It is a good example of Reductio Absurdum in a sense.

I bet this news helps the Brexit vote out a little. Even a 1% move can help Britain get free of the EU. I bet they will hide the name (most likely Mohammed, who wants to bet?) of the offender for as long as possible.

With some of the most restrictive gun controls in all of Europe, this simply cannot be possible.

Now reporting that no one was shot. He fired shots in the air and barricaded the building. Cops showed up and killed him. They are saying that the people injured are being treated for tear-gas exposure.
