I recently visited Munich and it's probably the most amazing city I've ever been to. The people are kind and the culture is rich. Really saddens me to hear what's been happening in Bavaria lately.

I can't say I'm surprised it's happening though. I saw a ton of refugees on the streets begging for money. I saw several Syrian teenagers getting yelled at due to public drunkenness. Germans blatantly saying that they hate the refugees because they have no respect for German culture. It seemed like tensions were rising and leading to an eventual tipping point.

I dont know what kind of terrorists they are, but this is pretty much as bad as it gets for them.

GSG9 is the genuine 'not fataing around' crew.

So we just take it? Most people here are smart enough to know that killing in the name of a ####ing fairy tale isn't okay.

Just because it's life in other parts of the world, doesn't mean it should be accepted as such in a first world country like Germany.

Redditers hinting that this might be the other side attacking. Apparently shouting "#### Foreigners"

If you can understand German .gif of people speaking with one of the alleged gunman.

@OnlineMagazin Raw footage: Residents speak with the attacker in German. He says he was born in Germany. But probably Islamist.
