A massacre is committed a few days before Christmas,  likely by someone who Germany generously granted asylum to, and Ash is mad as hell about the AfD! If the suspected perpetrator has been correctly identified, he was an asylum seeker whose claim had been rejected but continued to live in Germany. So this tragedy might well have been prevented if Germany had vetted refugee claimants abroad instead of internally. Thus the AfD certainly had a point in saying that these were Merkel's dead. Ash is mad at the wrong Germans. Remember in the 2015 election Trudeau was killing for Syrian refugee claimants to be vetted internally, and the rebarbative Mayor Nenshi of Calgary was accusing them of practicing dog-whistle politics? TVO's Steve Paikin helpfully expounded on Nenshi's rant, musing this meant that the Conservative base were dogs. Fortunately, Trudeau saw the light and the vetting process was conducted abroad.
