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.
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.
