On April 12th, a terror-attack against the team of one of the major German soccer clubs, BVB, was reported by several news agencies. The attack was carried out with three bombs, enclosed by metal bolts for maximum damage. Luckily, only one player was injured at his hand. Some clumsy letters found at the scene pointed to an Islamic background, another equally clumsy pamphlet pointed to the left-wing, but due to the bad spelling and grammar was immediately suspected to be a false flag, potentially set by some right-wing extremist.
As evident by the links above, the media happily picked up the Islamic theme; the German right-wing party AfD (Alternative für Deutschland, alternative for Germany) also happily embraced the opportunity.
Turns out, the actual background seems to be a completely different one, neither political nor religious: The BVB is in the stock market. The perpetrator bought "put" options and tried to kill as many team-members as possible to make a fortune when the stocks would plummet.

The Islamic terror angle is perfectly believable. Left-wing terrorism hasn't been much of a thing since Patty Hearst and Ayers have taken "respectable" jobs. Yeah, this is Germany, so things are different, but still, we don't see left-wing terror anymore.
But - if it were a Muslim, I'd want to see him executed. If it were a left-winger, I'd want to execute him. Don't know this guy's politics, but he committed the act, he needs to die. Only one person injured? So what? The INTENT to kill multiple people, at random, was there. Hang him. Put him on the guillotine. Crucify him. Put an LP air hose to an IV. String him out over a fire ant hill. Starve some wild animals, and feed him to them. Just get rid of the bastard, and make an example of him in the process.

Wow, a call for the death penalty, from ARKANSAS! What happened, dude? Is your paranoia revenge fantasy about to hit it's 'use by' date? And turns out it was all just murder for stock manipulation, as American as Apple Pie and Bernie! (Bernie Madoff, that is.) Not random at all! And since he will not make money on the stock market, well, hasn't he really suffered enough?
Tell us more about what you both think and don't know, Runaway! It's what keeps me coming back to SoylentNews again and again, and again, and again. And again.

The Greek extreme left has been antsy lately. [express.co.uk]
I notice that you exempt the right from execution. Anders Breivik must heave a sigh of relief.

Exempted? Really? He ain't Muslim, he ain't left, so, he's kinda presumed to be right. At least that's how I see it. Besides, how much further "right" can you get, than Muslim? Muslims aren't liberal, you know.

Actually the summary didn't mention if he had any religion or political direction, only that the attack was apparently motivated by neither. The articles in Germany mentioned that the guy is a Christian regularly attending the mass, active in his community. He's educated, employed and a bit introvert. I would assume he is not left, but didn't find any information to confirm that assumption.

Not, it is not. You are a gullible moron. You are a Flynnite! You probably have Jihadists hiding in your coalshed, out back. Are you not afraid! You will be! Very, very, afraid. And after the Muslins take over, and force everyone to convert, and you have to learn Arabic, so that at least you will be literate in some language, you can tell everyone, "See! I told you so!" Yes, Runaway, we know, they are coming for us. We do not see the danger. Yes, you will be one of the victims. Sorry. But you know? No one here wants to hear your personal fears and fantasies and really very uninformed and stupid opinions. So what do you think about Marine's chances? And isn't about time for Arkansas to off another one?

No, Runaway isn't going to be a victim.
But, what's the rest of that nonsense? You're telling me that Muslims haven't blown up, shot, beheaded, or run over a couple boatloads of people in Europe? None of that stuff really happened? Wow, I'm so relieved.
As for "offing" some prisoners, don't worry about it. They're just Arkies, after all.
