If you watched public TV last night (either ARD or ZDF) in Germany.....you kinda noticed the top topic as being this gas station killing in Idar-Oberstein (Pfalz) from Saturday evening. The background to this event?
49-year old German guy walks into a gas station....no Covid mask on....the 20-year old gas station clerk asks him to mask-up.....guy refuses. Things go quickly into a spiral, and the older customer pulls out a pistol....killing the clerk.
The public TV version of the event? Far right-wing extremist at work, and just another example of how the anti-vax crowd are being developed as 'threats'.
Drug-testing the murder suspect, or conducting a mental eval? Well....no one has said that yet, but I'd generally go and expect the mental eval to be a minimum.
It is an odd trend with public TV over the past couple of years....where anything of a leftwing tendency involving violence....gets minimal mention or hype, but rightwing action needs public attention. Most of the radical Muslim events now? They all quickly lead to a mental eval suggestion and some chatter over paranoid schizophrenia. I would even go and suggest it's pretty easy to write the news script for a radical terror attack and 'stamp' the suspect having schizophrenia.
This Idar-Oberstein guy potentially having some level of schizophrenia? It wouldn't shock me if a doctor checked the guy out and he was diagnosed. He may have been on a schizophrenia 'trip' for the past two decades. Using alcohol to mask the problems? That's a general trend with some of these folks.
The gun connection? Still openly discussed.....it doesn't appear that he had a license to own a gun....so where did it come from? If he couldn't legally own a gun....why?
As for anti-vaxers being mostly rightwing? Where's the statistical data to back this up? You could have leftwingers as anti-vax folks as well.
