犯行動画またもネットに、IT業界の対策むなしく 独ユダヤ教施設銃撃

【フランクフルトアムマインAFP=時事】カチカチという音とつぶやき声が時々聞こえるだけの静止画が数分間続いた後、現れたのはカメラのレンズをのぞく丸刈り頭の若い男──ドイツ東部ハレで9日に起きた銃撃事件の容疑者が、シナゴーグ(ユダヤ教の会堂)を襲撃する前に自らを撮影した映像だ。(写真はドイツ東部ハレで、銃を持って通り歩く男を捉えたATVスタジオ・ハレの映像の一場面)
 米インターネット通販大手アマゾン・コムのゲーム専用ライブストリーミング配信プラットフォーム「ツイッチ」に投稿された動画は、削除されるまでの35分間で約2200人が視聴したという。IT大手各社は最近、暴力的なコンテンツの拡散を食い止めるために幅広い対策を行うと発表したばかりだった。
 男は反ユダヤ主義的なののしり言葉をまくしたて、ユダヤ人は欧米社会の「諸悪の根源」と言い放ち、手製とみられるショットガンを手にして近所のシナゴーグへ車で向かった。
 建物の侵入に失敗した男は手製爆弾に着火し、壁に向かって投げつけた。しかし、爆発物を使っても扉は壊れなかった。
 その後、ピンク色のシャツと薄いスカーフを身に着け、眼鏡を掛けた50代とおぼしき女性が通り掛かり、あまり動揺した様子は見せなかったものの、奇妙な格好の男に対して不平を口にした。
 すると、男は自動小銃を水平に構え、女性の背中に向け至近距離から発砲した。
 男はまたしても扉を開けようと試みたが失敗。車のそばに横たわった女性の遺体に向けてもう一度発砲し、「ブタ!」と叫んだ。
 シナゴーグの中では、信者らが警察の到着を待ちながら、建物内に押し入ろうとする男の様子を防犯カメラの映像で見つめていた。
 男は車で何本か先の通りまで行くと、シシカバブ店を見つけて車を止め、複数いた男性の1人に向けて2発発砲した。
 そこに警察が到着し、車で逃走しようとした男を一度阻止。男は撃ち合いの後、少しの間地面に倒れた。
 再び車で逃走した男は痛みのあまりうめきながら、「血が出てる、首を撃たれた」「ごめんみんな、もう終わりだ。完全な負け犬だ」と語った。カメラに写った男の顔は苦悶の表情だった。
 容疑者の手口は、今年3月にニュージーランドの南島クライストチャーチで起きたモスク(イスラム礼拝所)襲撃事件を想起させるものだ。51人が死亡し、数十人が負傷したこの事件でも犯行の様子が動画配信され、各国政府はソーシャルメディア各社に対し、暴力的な映像を配信させないよう対策を求めた。
 フェイスブックは最近、暴力的な映像をより早く発見、削除するため、英ロンドンの警察と連携し、検知アルゴリズムの改良に取り組むと発表した。
 しかし、インターネット上の暴力根絶を目指す団体「反過激主義プロジェクト」のハンスヤコブ・シンドラー氏は「この悲劇的な事件は自主規制の取り組みが十分に効果的でないことをまたしても示し、IT業界にはより厳しい規制が必要だということを悲しくも浮き彫りにしている」と述べている。【翻訳編集AFPBBNews】

Halle gunman's fumbling, furious assault caught on camera


After minutes of stillness punctuated by clicks and muttering, the camera pitches up and shows the close-shaved, youthful face of a man looking into the lens.
On Wednesday in the east German city of Halle, the man before the camera is preparing to commit a violent assault against a synagogue that will devolve into a random, blundering search for fresh targets.
The shooter's technique recalls the self-presentation of the man who killed 51 and wounded dozens at a mosque in Christchurch, New Zealand, in March.
In a heavy German accent, he hurriedly babbles a brief anti-Semitic diatribe blaming Jews for being at the root of problems in Western societies.
Then the shooter readies an apparently home-made shotgun before driving the short distance to the synagogue, blasting hip-hop over a bluetooth speaker.
- 'I'm a fucking idiot' -
Parking in the leafy street by the high brick wall of the Jewish cemetery, the man who introduced himself as Anon is discouraged when he sees the massive wooden synagogue doors bolted shut.
When he fails to barge open smaller entrances, he lights the fuse of a home-made bomb and hurls it over the wall.
A shocked old man in a cap hurriedly turns his bicycle away as the shooter walks from the explosion.
After the door resists another bomb, a 50-something woman in a pink shirt, light scarf and glasses walks by, grumbling at the bizarrely-dressed attacker but apparently almost unfazed.
He levels an automatic weapon and fires a short burst into her back.
Further efforts to force the door prove useless, and after pitching more bombs and a molotov cocktail over the wall, he fires another, longer burst into the lifeless body of the woman lying by his car.
Pig! he shouts, before realising he has punctured a tyre.
The automatic weapon lets the killer down when a man stops his van soon after to check on the dead woman.
Attempting to fire a new burst, the gun only clicks and he fumbles to change the magazine.
When the frightened passer-by has driven off, attempts to blast the lock off the synagogue door with a shotgun are equally unsuccessful.
Sorry guys. I'm a fucking idiot. I can't kill shit, he tells his imagined viewers in English as he drives away.
Inside the synagogue, worshippers have watched the attacker's attempts to penetrate the building on the security cameras.
We barricaded our doors from inside and waited for the police, Jewish community leader Max Privorotzki told Stuttgarter Zeitung.
In between, we carried on with our service.
- 'Really calm, like a professional'-
A few streets away, the gunman spots a kebab shop and pulls up, grabbing his cobbled-together arsenal.
Doener. That'll do, he says under his breath.
He tosses one of the bombs inside, firing a final burst with the automatic before it jams for good.
But his arrival is enough to scare patrons and the owner, and several men flee from the plush red-upholstered benches into the depths of the store.
He was really calm, like a professional. Perhaps he's done something like this several times, proprietor Rifat Tekin, who escaped by ducking behind the salad counter, later told broadcaster NTV.
From the shooter's perspective, there is more wrestling with weapons and cursing as he attempts to harm the men cowering at the back of the shop, who are pleading for their lives.
Cartridges rattle onto the floor from his seemingly inept fingers.
After briefly stepping outside and scaring pedestrians, he returns to the shop where he executes one of the men at point-blank range with two shotgun blasts, cutting off his cry of No!.
At least I've demonstrated how useless improvised weapons are, he mutters to himself and the camera on his way out, a lone bottle of cola somehow still standing on one table, another toppled next to an abandoned meal and a pair of glasses at the next.
The police cut off his first attempt at escape in the car, and he exchanges fire with them before falling to the ground for several seconds, struck by a bullet as he attempted to drive off.
I'm bleeding, I've been shot in the neck, he says once he is underway again, groaning with pain and grimacing in the moments his face is visible.
He turns the car radio on over hectic, cartoonish music from his bluetooth speaker, but the presenters are discussing the US-China trade war rather than his failed onslaught.
Sorry guys, that was it. A total loser... the killer says, before tossing the still-broadcasting smartphone out of the window.
