As far as I can tell he doesn't. Unless you think you fall uder the category of 'usual apologists' yourself.
Personally I think you're taking this one too personal.

As far as I can tell, he's using 'usual apologists' to refer to anyone that says that maybe not all Muslims are ISIS sympathisers or extremists, which is not at all being an apologist.



Anyway, the Germans are apparently bringing in reinforcements from Austria, now.

German police are now saying that the death toll has risen to eight.

Edit: Nine, now.

Nine bodies have been found now. There's some rumours that one of the shooters is amongst the dead. Weekly magazine Focus reports hearing from police sources that one of the shooters killed himself.

On the politico liveblog, they say that theres another body, but they're not sure if it's related or not.

Also, on the CNN liveblog, an earlier post says to people to not post up videos or pictures of their operations to give suspects clues, and yet someone posted some pics of what's going on over there. Granted they're over a half hour old by now, but still....

People from Munich are flooding the internet with cats, just like they did in Brussels.

Voluntary censorship by means of cat is becoming a meme

They did that in Brussels to keep the terrorists from seeing any pics of the operation.

It's a form of shilling, where you flood information channels with useless information. In this case whenever there's an active manhunt, in order to avoid suspects from being 1 step ahead of police by tracking their movements through social media, twits flood relevant hashtags with cats and other random crap to effectively paralyze attempts to find police via social media. Thus is someone takes a picture of police outside some street, any manhunt suspects would in all likelihood not see such a photo in time, seeing instead hundreds of cats.

What you are referring to... Yeah there exists some retarded shit. There was a while back a completely failed attempt to do an ice bucket challenge against ISIS, only instead of using ice buckets, people smacked eggs on their faces. Somehow putting eggs on their faces would stop massacres, it's the equivalent of putting some country's flag on your facebook to "show solidarity"

German authorities are allowing stranded travellers to sleep in train wagons, since there's a great shortage of hotel rooms.
In Mammendorf, Starnberg, Geltendorf, Dachau and Freising, where trains were no longer able to depart, people will be sleeping in train wagons.

[Loud Whispers]

I pray for the comfiness of those trains

Accidential irony there..... Of course though, those were freight cars back then.

[martinuzz]

I hope there's no elderly jews amongst those stranded in train wagons. Would be ... awkward .

As we always say when travelling aboard a crowded train in Europe, especially Germany: "Thank god we are already used to suffer on these trains"

[martinuzz]

Thank God for jiddische sense of humour

[Wolfhunter107]

Police say that the Munich shooting was carried out by a single gunman who then killed himself

That was pretty anticlimactic, which is almost certainly a good thing.
