Information and #Misinformation coming out about the #Madgeburg #Germany #terrorist attack.
Suspect is not #Islamic, but #Islamophobic, nor was he a recent #immigrant or #refugee. Seems to be a psychiatrist who immigrated in the 2000s, before the current refugee crises, and was disgruntled over #HateSpeech laws and "the left" preventing him from spreading #islamophobia. Posted pro #AfD stuff on the internet, very clearly right-leaning, and also very clearly mentally ill.
Unsure how the #ChristmasMarket plays into this, as he openly hated #islam and not #christianity, but the whole thing seems to be the result of untreated mental illness.
On that note, reminder that the vast majority of mentally ill people, especially those of us who get into some sort of treatment, do not commit crimes. The few who commit these violent crimes seem to predominantly have gone deep down far-right rabbitholes, where they are radicalized and encouraged to commit these violent acts.
