  Well that doesnt count for much in this matter. The actual question is, was he white/german?
  
  The motive is unclear... aka white bro.
  More importantly it's car violence.
  
  True, though I was mostly asking from a "how will it be spun" perspective. But yeah I agree, the most interesting part of these terror attacks is that most of them seem to be car based.
  
  According to Zeit online he's German and has been known for psychological issues.
  
  It really shouldn't matter. It's really fucked up that it does.
  I hate that we have to worry about irrelevant details, just because fascists might use it as propaganda.
  
  Bei seiner Festnahme hat sich der Mann mit einer Schreckschusspistole in den Mund geschossen.
  Gosh darn I believe it. Shot himself with a bobby pistol.
