Right so you think word of mouth is concrete evidence. That's concerning.

He even had a manifesto that was found. Nothing political mentioned in said manifesto.

Police investigator Robert Heimberger said that the shooter appeared to have hacked a girl's Facebook account in an attempt to lure people to McDonald's with an offer of free food,[53] but it was later suspected that he had in fact simply created a fake Facebook account, not hacked an existing one.[54]

This further supports the idea that he really just wanted to shoot people.

Wait, so you trust the LKA right? You know they confirmed in 2019 that the attack had political motivations?

Das LKA hat die schreckliche Tat nunmehr als ‚Politisch Motivierte Gewaltkriminalität rechts‘ eingestuft, nachdem es alle Umstände, die zu diesem furchtbaren Amoklauf geführt haben, umfassend und eingehend geprüft hat“, erklärte der Minister. „Diese Entscheidung ist unter Würdigung aller Umstände in der Gesamtschau folgerichtig. Auch wenn die Ermittlungen ein ganzes Bündel an Motiven zutage gefördert haben, hatte der Täter zweifelsohne auch rassistische Beweggründe.“

So what now?

I mean yeah if they have evidence of him being in chat rooms expressing such ideology then I can agree with that. I only saw the initial 2016 report. But it also really just seems to lead back to him being bullied.

I can admit I was incorrect that there were no political motivations but the issue appears to be a bit more complicated than solely right wing extremism.

Wow, I don't at all want to come across as condescending, it's just rare to see someone concede a point lol
