I would argue that even if the borders were closed, I think said person, and many like him, would still find their way to Germany and still act like an a**hole regardless of the govt's position.
My point: the govt didnt command this a**hat to blow himself up. He did it himself.
The German govt is damned if they do (by their own people condemning the border suppression) and damned if they don't (EU ordering them to take in more refugees/immigrants).
In both instances - NEITHER case is an acceptable justification for blowing yourself up along with innocent people.
The attacker, identified as Mohammad D., possessed gasoline, chemicals, and other material that could be used to make a bomb, Bavarian Interior Minister Joachim Hermann said, as cited by AP.
The attacker had also pledged allegiance to Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL) leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi on one of his phones.
"A provisional translation by an interpreter shows that he expressly announces, in the name of Allah, and testifying his allegiance to Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, a famous Islamist leader, an act of revenge against the Germans because they're getting in the way of Islam," Hermann said at a news conference.
"I think that after this video there's no doubt that the attack was a terrorist attack with an Islamist background," he added.
IS has also claimed responsibility for the attack, according to Amaq news agency.
Hermann said that two mobile phones were found that belonged to the man, along with multiple SIM cards and a laptop, Reuters reported.
He said officers also discovered videos with "Salafist content" on storage devices seized from the man's home.

Save Country Newspeak. Like in "Turkey, Tunesia, turn the eff away and let 'em die!"
The Europeans I know are sick of this garbage called asylum politics. And then there are you Brexit folks, confusing wisdom with ignorance towards all reactions on your actions in the ME. Let's just play this Game of Terror until Europe drowned in refugees or right-winger madness, that little island of yours sure as hell will remain the save harbour of corruption and profits, foreverever. Yeah.
May Lord shave the Queen, of course.
A failed asylum seeker who blew himself up outside a bar in Germany had pledged allegiance to the leader of Islamic State in a video found on his mobile phone, officials say. The 27-year-old Syrian man was killed in the attack in Ansbach and 15 people were injured, including four seriously. In the video, he talked of "revenge" and German police found chemicals, gasoline and other materials at his home that could be used to build another bomb. IS said he carried out the attack in response to calls to target coalition countries fighting the militant group.

Second... countless other events? Hyperbole much? I'd guess this Total War (with Terror) wasn't supposed to strike back at us? How is that supposed to stop with closed borders now? Couldn't we just howl at the moon instead?
It probably is Germanys fault, we shouldn't have joined this War for Profits in the first place. Schröder saw at least that one coming and refused to follow suit the moment your mil-ind. complexes turned to Iraq. Mark my words. And thanks, you too!
Remember the Germans clapping and cheering the thousands of mostly men coming off the trains? I wonder if they are still cheering now.
Given that if the U.S. had not destabilized the ME by destroying relatively secular Governments in the region - radical islamists wouldn't be anywhere near their current position.
We are going to be their slaves.
