David (Ali) Sonboly (20 April 1998 - 22 July 2016) was a German-Iranian rampage killer who killed 9 and injured 5 people in the 2016 Munich shooting.

He wasn't popular among his peers (especially among girls), died as a virgin, and therefore isn't a reproductive success. It's not known that he associated with the incelosphere.[1]

Life[edit | edit source]

Early Life[edit | edit source]

He was born in Munich on 20 April 1998, as his Iranian parents moved to Germany in 1997. His dad was a self-employed taxi driver and his mother worked temporarily. His parents earnestly tried to create a harmonic family life yet he didn't have much contact to them, and was more isolated.

Characteristics[edit | edit source]

As a child, he didn't show signs of empathy for others.

He was fascinated about shooting, rampage killers, guns and sometimes played Ego-Shooters (The media tries to insinutate him being obsessed with video games yet before his steam profile was set private, it was clear the he didn't have much playtime in games[2]). He drove to Winnenden, a German town where a school shooting initiated by Tim Kretschmer occurred, and planed his shooting one year beforehand.

He didn't really have friends, and never had a girlfriend.

Since David thought his initial name "Ali" he was born with was inferior, he changed his legal name to simply David Sonboly.

School[edit | edit source]

He showed behavioral abnormalities since primary school, being overwhelmed by school tasks and asocial behavior.

He was bullied from 5th to 8th grades, especially by students of an immigrant background (especially Balkan, Turkish, Arab...) He didn't defend himself physically but he insulted them back if needed.

After a typical school day was over, he locked himself up in his room without really interacting with his family as he wasn't talkative.

Inceldom[edit | edit source]

As seen in his messages to a same-age girl and a chat with an online friend, he wished to some day obtain a girlfriend, yet didn't succeed.

After meeting a turkish girl in a Wing Chun Club, he had a crush on her and wanted to befriend and get into a relationship with her. He created fake accounts of other teens insulting her in her private dms, and wanted to be seen as savior who will make them stop "their actions" but she realized it was him who insulted her privately, resulting in her blocking him. About one year later, he congratulated her for her birthday with a new unknown account but she didn't think much of it and deleted the chat.
