Well, if there is one thing lower on this planet than a radical Islamic terrorist, it is someone pretending to be one for profit.
Massive kudos to the German law enforcement team for working this one out. And I hope the perp rots in jail for the rest of his miserable existence.

You know what? It really doesn't matter what these people's motivations are. If they like isis so much that they are happily associated with them, they are just an extension of them and hence terrorists.
May I remind you that they actually killed people.
Anyone at all, even the maddest guy possible, if they say they did it for isis and they are muslim, they are terrorists.
Or are you telling me that if there was a crazy german in a nazi uniform, killing people you would say he wasn't a nazi at all?
That should free Anders Breivik. Forget his ideals and what he did, he did it because he is mad and not a right wing nut.
Being an asshole and mentally ill does not exclude being into islam and wanting to kill unbelievers. They can exist together.
I am sick and tired of excuses for these idiots. Excuses nobody would make for any right wingers.
Those that say these are not muslims or terrorists are the first to call me a racist or rightwing if I just mention the wrong words.
So one standard for isis sympathisers and another on for people who are fed up with illegal immigrants.
Hypocrite.

I hear you.
And I am not sure that we will. Not with 8 billion of us fighting over ever shrinking resources

Can someone explain how shooter was going to make stock profits from this?
German police arrested a man on Friday suspected of detonating three bombs that targeted the Borussia Dortmund soccer team bus in the hope of sending the club’s shares plummeting and making a profit on an investment, prosecutors said. In a statement, the federal chief prosecutor said the 28-year old man, a dual German and Russian national identified as Sergei V., had bought options on Borussia Dortmund’s stock before the attack. The team bus was heading to the club’s stadium for a Champions League match against AS Monaco on April 11 when the explosions went off, wounding Spanish defender Marc Bartra and delaying the match by a day.
The prosecutor’s office said the suspect had bought 15,000 put options, or contracts giving him the right to sell Borussia Dortmund’s shares at a pre-determined price, on the day of the attack, using a consumer loan he had signed a week earlier. “If the shares of Borussia Dortmund had fallen massively, the profit would have been several times the initial investment,” the prosecutor’s office said. The serious injury or death of any of the soccer players could have resulted in such a slump, it said.

Hmmmmm, this sounds familiar, buy put options, make a big explosion, leave evidence to point to it being terrorists, make money when the stocks go down. Didn't this happen on 911?

Oh, I know all about this case. I said at the start that I am 'fed up' with people making excuses. This includes every crazy, mentally ill, islamic nut in recent history.
Not just this case. [Very important I'll make that clear for you]
This case is just one of many. And I am fed up that every time a muslim kills or TRIES to kill [I don't know how this is better?, please enlighten me because I never went out TRYING to kill another person, that is quite serious IMO - don't you agree?] an innocent person, the excusers come out with the same excuses.
And the excuse is mental illness or being bullied or something else wishy washy like that.
What I said is that it doesn't matter, as madness and being an extreme muslim who wants to harm [kill, harm, mame, cut, pick your choice, they are all undesirable] others are not mutually exclusive.
Now I have explained that to you properly, maybe you want to go back and re-read MY comment. Any more questions, please ask, I'll be happy to repeat myself until I puke.

I don't know if it did but if that is true do you know who the person/people was/were that benefited from it?
