Sitting in the courtroom of the right wing assailant who tried to kill me. In addition to the charges of murder and attempted müder, he is also being charged with driving recklessly. What’s that about, Germany?

His gun jammed about 20 times. Had he not had to build his own gun, were German gun laws not so strict, the body count would have been much higher

Lots of questions from the judge about living at home with his mother...#Halleprozess

He is very, very upset he can’t deny the Holocaust or use the n word in the courtroom...#HalleProzess

He owned a very long decorative sword

We finally got to the global Jewish plot! BH

Also he just called us semites, so at least that solves that current Twitter debate

Now he’s explaining why Yom Kippur is meaningful to Jews. #goysplaining

“Why did you livestream?” “Because the important thing is to show others you are not alone.”

Yea, lonely white men are definitely not getting radicalized and pushed to violence by the internet #Halleprozess

He is so callous about his brutal murder of Jana L. There is so much evil in this monster.

“Maybe if you had visited the synagogue before you would have better known what supplies you needed”
🤯

“Did you feel like a loser?”
“It was evident that I was a loser”

Lunch break! Stay tuned!

And we’re back! Continuing the questioning of the defendant, detailing what happened at the Doner Shop.

Before the break, he was clear: he went that way because there were usually black and brown people in the area

“I saw someone with black hair so I thought they might be a Muslim”

It’s now becoming clear that only when he was questioned by police did he ‘disappointingly’ realize that he hadn’t killed a Muslim, but rather Kevin S

“White people are not allowed to live without a multicultural society.” Sorry, bro, but welcome to 2020

And for the perspective of the hero to my right check out @reblady

“That was the Plan. Win or die.”
“What was winning?”
“Defeating my enemies.”

“Were you scared to die?”
“Of course i didnt want to. I wasn’t suicidal”

He’s not a sociopath. He’s a right wing extremist. He’s not an isolated problem. He’s a product of a culture of right wing hate

Also for those wondering at home, yes, I am simultaneously listening while learning @dafyomi

“I don’t want to shoot white people.”

And the ones he killed? It was their fault for not helping him out.

He is very upset that he shot so many white people. Except not as upset as he is that they wouldn’t help him escape.

“Were you concerned for their well being?”

“Yes, but I thought, they were still talking so they can fend for themselves”

His latest gripe: the taxi he stole was an automatic transmission. There were so many lights! It was like starship troopers! And the break is where the clutch should be!

You can hear in his voice how unfair he feels this all was...

The judge is now trying to figure out whether or not they are trying to continue or wrap up for the day

Update: at least one of the other judges has a question. It’s apparently about his military service.

“I want to fight.”

He seems to be upset that the military prosecutes people for purposefully killing civilians

Another judge is asking about his past drug use.

This is a bad take

That’s a wrap, folks. Thanks for tuning in. Being here and tweeting this has been super helpful for me and my own process. To be continued...
