Also there is a video that I will not link and while I know this tragic, but I gotta say it was pretty funny up until he, you know, shot someone.
Guy is a fucking bungler, he spends a bunch of time idling outside because the doors are locked and he didn't plan for locked doors.

Germany synagogue shooting: Suspect 'broadcast attack livestream on Twitch' and ranted about Holocaust, Jews and immigration

The man accused of attacking a synagogue in Germany broadcast his rampage on the Twitch live-streaming video platform.

Speaking in English, the man called himself "anon" and said he was a Holocaust denier.

“Feminism is the cause of declining birth rates in the West, which acts as a scapegoat for mass immigration, and the root of all these problems is the Jew,” he continued, while filming himself in a car before starting the attack.

The footage was verified by the International Centre for the Study of Radicalisation (ICSR) at King's College London after being shared online.

Police said at least two people had been killed in Halle - outside the synagogue and at a nearby kebab shop - and a separate shooting was reported in a nearby town later on Wednesday.

Witnesses reported the gunman was wearing a helmet mounted with a camera and military-style clothing.

The footage, which has since been removed from the Twitch website - which focuses on video game streaming - appeared to be filmed by a head-mounted camera and showed the shooting from the attacker’s perspective

A similar broadcast was made by the Christchurch shooter, who used Facebook Live, and posted a “manifesto” espousing a theory that white people are being eradicated from Western nations on the 8chan image board.

The attack inspired copycat terrorists around the world, including in the UK, Norway and the American cities of El Paso and Poway - where a synagogue was attacked.

On the 4chan website, some posters were comparing the Halle shooter to “Saint [Brenton] Tarrant”, while another wrote: “Kill society, one lone gunman at a time. F***, I’m lovin it.”

Others ridiculed the shooter, who called himself a “loser” repeatedly in the video, for failing to kill more victims.

So what now? Are we going to get armed guards outside synagogues?

I have seen the livestream and can confirm it is a white ethnic German fellow. He uses a very poorly 3D printed gun too, as well as being a bungler, as Kubra said.
I'd post images here, even SFW and idle ones, but that would likely be in breach of ToS or just in bad taste.

Also, gun control can't really target his guns. The weapons he used are fairly (and in the case of the slamfire shotgun, incredibly) simple to fabricate with a few simple machine tools. This is where you queue the bullet control joke.

I only said that on the back of the previous comment about the Israeli Defence Force guarding synagogues in other countries.

That's obviously dumb. Local police forces exist for a reason. And despite what you said here...

...most Jews are citizens of their home countries. I was born and raised in Canada. And I'm in the US legally on a work visa.
And also...we don't invite trouble, despite what far right echo chambers would tell you. Conspiracy theories that scapegoat a minority group =/= truth.

I think there's a bit of a difference between "shooting up a synagogue" and "opening fire on a kebab shop that's near a synagogue".

Also, OP, what's YOUR opinion?

Strange, that's not the rhetoric we hear in the states. According to certain politicians we just have to ban the big bad assault rifles and our gun crime problems will magically disappear.

Well to be fair this incident is probably a pretty good example of gun control working, because dude just could not get his shoddy weapons and ammo to work. Dude failed a kill a guy because of (probably) his crappy handloads, and when you're failing to fire with a slam fire that's the indication one should press it to ones head then cry uncontrollably when it again fails to fire.

If this idiot had a real gun he may have shot down the doors of the synagogue, instead of plinking at it with black powder and birdshot.

Hence why I want a Designated Survivor-eqse disaster (JK)

But to be honest,U.S politicians are stupid and not understanding.

We need to Decrease gun regulations to prevent crime.

Always nicer if it is "one of them" instead of "one of us".
Happily, people can now quickly divert attention to the upcoming genocide of the Kurds and ignore this whiteboy.

It's not that we wanted, but that it was more likely for it to be a Muslim than a freaking Nazi (and you must admit, a Nazi live-streaming his being humiliated while he tries to shoot up a Synagogue with handmade weapons is not what comes to mind first.)

I mean, I'm not white either, but when I hear "There's been a shooting in a Synagogue", a Nazi live-streaming himself trying to shoot up a Synagogue with handmade weapons is still not the first thing that comes to my mind.

Well, when you consider that he shot up a Döner café, Nazis do come to mind first. Especially in Sachsen-Anhalt, where AfD got a 19.6% of the Zweitstimmen.
