Any reason why? There are some really good subreddits, for me personally the Arsenal one is probably the best forum we have, some dedicated TV/Video game subs are good.

That said, I wouldn't use it as a source of breaking news or information, not much different to something like Twitter (but at least you can try to find credible journos etc on there to follow).

Pretty much the reasons described. Besides theres no point signing up, imo, to all these social media sites that tell you nothing you can't find elsewhere.

Don't know whether it's better or worse that the latest mass murder committed by a Muslim seems unrelated to Isis. Another Isis attack would have been terrible, but on the other hand, it shows that mass murderers shouting allah akbar aren't just confined to Isis, or to recent migrants, but can also be commuted by locally raised people who societies would hope have integrated.

I'm looking, but I can't find any proof of anything at the moment. Just a lot of conjecture and assertion.

I'd say it's too early to conclude anything at the moment.

That's presuming a lot of rationality from a person who is behaving inherently irrational.

Not to mention a schizophrenic (according to a Twitter video where the gunman is arguing with two guys from a rooftop.

Apparently he was a Turkish-German, grew up in a slum that is largely dependent on welfare, was heavily bullied for a large chunk of his life and was receiving treatment for schizophrenia.

Any links to these witness statements? The only one I have seen is an interview with a witness from the McDonalds that claimed the gunman was yelling Allahu Akhbar. This woman also claimed that her son was in the bathroom with the gunman and saw him loading the gun, but magically escaped harm so the interview is suspect to me.

Except for all the ones that do, of course.

It's amazing how much you can narrow down the purview of "your own" when you're an ideological nutbag.
