anyone speak German? What's the shooter saying here? https://twitter.com/OnlineMagazin/status/756539012551176194

It's an german man yelling at a younger man, calling him several slurs (the slurs lead me to think the man looks middle eastern) the younger man defends himself by claiming he is german too, which doesn't dissuade the other german man yelling at him. He's very upset and yells that the other one has a gun, which I don't think it's true. They both speak native german usual for that region, no sign of a foreign accent.

(Yes I'm german, and yes I have a hard time understanding all as I am from elsewhere in the country. I also didn't watch it to the end)

The police says it was a false alarm at Karlsplatz, apparently there was a panic.

apparently the video posted earlier was in fact of the (or one) of the attacker(s), who stated he was german and born in germany. Quite some balls on the other dude to prod and insult an armed dude. (if it's true)

Is there a media blackout on this or just gently caress all happening? With 3 supposed shootings you'd think there'd be a deluge of lovely information coming out.

They can't find the shooter(s). Honestly, at most 6 dead, on a friday evening at that place with three shooters? Doesn't really add up. They seem to have locked down the entire area. They're probably not giving information to the press to not also give information to the shooter(s).

The government will suppress this because they don't want Muslims to be seen as bad in anyway.

They already talked on state television about this as a terror attack, the time to supress anything about this is long over.

FB and the German government have teamed up to make anything not politically correct, racist, or makes Muslims look bad banable. They do not have free speech.

why should FB have free speech? It's a corporate-run website.

The German government is making them do it, that makes it a free speech issue.

German does have laws against hate speech, that's how it is. Also of all the shady poo poo facebook is doing this is probably the least questionable tbh

there's currently a press conference on state TV with a police spokesman. 5 People dead, and not really much more information besides that there wasn't any shooting at any other place. Man, this somehow doesn't add up. They usually kill a lot more than that and fleeing and getting out alive usually isn't a priority either. Especially three gunmen would've killed a lot more than 5 people. That place is packed on weekends like this.

Also this. Can't wait for the press conference where she will say nothing in particular and then go into hiding for a few weeks.

Nothing is confirmed yet, as they didn't get the attacker(s). They do assume this was a terrorist attack though.

I really can't buy the 5 people dead, three shooters thing. Either they were really bad at what they were doing or this was something else.

Tell me about this "something else" :allears:

No idea, but maybe it wasn't three people. I think people underestimate just how full such a place is at this time of day here. Three armed people going in there and just ending up killing 6 people doesn't really seem like a thing. But of course, maybe the count will go up.

There also was this bizarre exchange with the other guy on the balcony who apparently tried to distract the shooter (and yes he was the shooter or one of the shooters, because he shoots at the end of the video at the bulding)

He said "I'm german, I was born in germany", and also this odd statement about being in stationary care, which in german worded like this usually means psychiatric care.

It was somebody else who yelled at the guy.

Some of you people are terribly invested into your own narrative, whatever direction that narrative is. That's no way to go through life.

The guy in that video clip coming out of McDonalds looks like the guy on the top of the garage IMHO. I'd also wager a guess and say he's also the only one and also the corpse they just found.

According to german news sources, he lived with his parents and his name was "David S.". They apparently took the father in for questioning. Also they say he was a Shiite. They're starting to treat this as a spree killing and contrary to the other guy in france, I'm inclined to agree here. He also apparently mostly targeted young people.

The older dude is calling him several slurs and he defends himself with indignation with the statement that he's german and born in germany. He really comes mostly off as a bit unhinged.

Media reports that the shooter apparently did a lot of research into spree killings (especially into a shooting happening at a school here in 2009) and suffered from depression. His gun was an illegal glock. (serial number removed) The Facebook account that was trying to draw more people to the Mall was apparently him, too.
