He should have let the muslin kill him— maybe, just maybe, the Nazis were right after all—they just got the target wrong—it wasn’t Jews who were to blame, it was Mohammedans.

So because it’s not my country, is it fair to say the people of Germany should rise up against any such government and remove it? I mean My God.

Sonboly shouted at him: “I am a German.”

But, isn't Sonboly the killer?

The brave man, Thomas Salbe, was cussing or something, but what could he have said that could get him charged?

The media describes him as a right wing killer and admirer of Hitler. If he is an admirer of Hitler he is a left wing killer. NAZI is the acronym for National Socialist Party.

The media lies to us every day!

As we know the Arabs aligned with Hitler. I know this guy was Iranian but still a Muslim. Hitler worshippers.

Brave man who stood up to Munich shooter now facing prosecution for 'INSULTING killer'

A MAN who famously stood up to the Munich shooter after he killed nine people is facing being charged by a prosecutor for insulting the killer.

By ALIX CULBERTSON
PUBLISHED: 02:43, Fri, Aug 5, 2016
UPDATED: 11:12, Fri, Aug 5, 2016

Thomas Salbey, 57, saw the shooting happening from his balcony in the Bavarian capital on July 22.

In an attempt to stop 18 year old Ali Sonboly from further slaughtering people, he swore at the shooter as he was standing in a car park below.

Sonboly shouted at him: "I am a German."

Footage of the feisty exchange went viral as thousands praised Mr Salbey for standing up to the deluded teenager.

The plucky German also hurled a beer bottle at the attacker in a desperate attempt to stop him.

He said: “All I had was a beer bottle to throw at him, but if I had a gun I would have shot him in the head.”

Loner Sonboly had just shot dead nine people, mainly young teenagers he had lured to McDonald’s on the premise of free food.

The German-Iranian also injured 16 others during the rampage before he killed himself a kilometre away from the Munich Olympiad shopping centre he carried the shooting out at.

Now, in a twist of German justice, Mr Salbey is now facing charges for standing up to the killer who shot himself in the head.

Florian Weinzierl, spokesman from the Munich State Prosecutor’s office, confirmed the Munich resident is being investigated.

He said the post-shooting exchange between Mr Salbey and Sonboly had no influence on their actions.

What will be included in the charges remains to be established, as it whether they will be brought forward.

But Mr Weinzierl, suggested they could include “insults to the detriment of the dead.”

According to the spokesman, a court review will be completed soon.

Shortly after the shooting, it was revealed Sonboly considered himself Aryan, despite his Iranian heritage, and held racist view, including a deep hatred for Turks and Arabs.

Iran is considered to be the home of the Aryan race and Sonboly was said to be proud of his Iranian ancestry despite his dislike for neighbouring countries in the Middle East.

The right-wing killer also said it was an “honour” to have shared his birthday - April 20 - with Nazi leader Adolf Hitler.

Materials found at the gunman's home also showed he had been hospitalised for three months to treat a mental health condition and was an avid player of violent video games.

One of the games, 'Counter Strike: Source', was a game "played by nearly every known rampage killer", according to the president of Bavaria's crime office, Robert Heimberger.

Detectives believe the gunman was also inspired by Norwegian mass killer Anders Breivik, and likely staged the shooting on the fifth anniversary of Breivik's massacre of 77 people.

I will never understand why euro-weenies call nazis "right-wing", when the nazi party had no right-wing principles at all. None.

He was insulting a right winger we're told! Shouldn't he be given a medal and a special audience with Merkel? You Germans are effed up.

At some point why wouldn’t the population of Germany that is against this not just rise up and take their country back by force? They are familiar with force historically.

Hmmm the German media has been trying to sell this guy as Iranian, yet I’ve seen links that show he’s actually Turkish. They are bending over backwards in Germany to protect Wahhabi Islamist killers like this guy.

Painting him as a Neo-Nazi right wing racist is just idiocy. He’s a bigot all right, but it’s Christian civilization that he hates.

He said he would have shot him in the head if he had a gun to stop him.

He said “I am a German”. Apparently saying "I am a German" in Germany to someone you think isn't also German can land your ass in jail.

Yes and he’d shoot him if he could. Neither which warrants an arrest.
