On the last day of May, there was an absolutely ghastly knife attack in Mannheim, Germany, which was the poster child for everything that has gone so horribly wrong with Merkel and company's much-ballyhooed, open-door immigration policies.

A "right-wing, anti-political Islam" activist, standing in the square with a small gathering of his Pax Europa group, was suddenly attacked by an Afghan immigrant - a failed asylum seeker who'd been in the country since 2014 - wielding a knife.

In the ensuing chaos, several members of the group were stabbed, including a young German police officer who, instead of charging the assailant, inexplicably tackled one of the victims. That misjudgment wound up costing him his life, as the now-unrestrained assassin slashed into the officer's unprotected neck, occupied as he was subduing a victim.

The poor 29-year-old fellow died in the hospital shortly thereafter. German police shot and killed the murderer on the scene.

In the ensuing weeks, they have come to believe there was a religious "extremist" motive involved in the attack.

Really? Ya think?

German authorities say they have uncovered evidence of an Islamic extremist motive in last week’s knife attack in the southwestern city of Mannheim in which a police officer was fatally injured.

Justice Minister Marco Buschmann wrote on the social media platform X late Monday that “there are now clear indications of an Islamist motive” for the attack and federal prosecutors, who are responsible for terrorism and national security cases, are taking over the investigation.

The federal prosecutor’s office confirmed Tuesday that it has taken on the investigation, citing the significance of the case and the suspicion that it was religiously motivated.

Investigators have said the suspected assailant, a 25-year-old man from Afghanistan who has lived in Germany since 2014 and reportedly had his asylum application rejected, stabbed several members of a group that describes itself as opposing “political Islam.”

When I wrote about the attack the day it happened, I did so in relation to the upcoming European Elections - would such a tragedy, and a botched one at that, affect people's votes? 

I did not realize at the time that they have a real knife problem with the immigrants they've allowed to flood their country - those suckers like to slice and dice. Here I was thinking this Mannheim incident was a rare occurrence but timed to make a major impact.

It turns out Germans are dealing with this crap every day.

This is yesterday.

MIGRANTS BESIEGE GERMANY

On June 10th, there were 3 what were called "horrific acts of violence"...

Three acts of seemingly random—and certainly horrific—violence on Monday, June 10th, collectively raise the question: what is going on in Germany?

The country, which is about to begin hosting the European football championship, has seen around 60 knife attacks per day in recent years.

One of those which took place earlier this week was fatal. A 23-year-old woman was “suddenly” stabbed by a “previously unknown person” during an evening jog in Schermbeck on the Lower Rhine, according to national media. Officials are still appealing for information about the unidentified attacker.

...followed by a weekly round-up of knife crimes that made that look like a slow day.

Gruesome Knife Attacks Continue to Shock #Germany

They even charge into parties during soccer tournaments.

While you were all arguing about a cow…

A man with a knife has killed one person, possibly two, and severely injured two more at a Euros party in Germany.

The attacker didn't hit the garden party until after murdering another person before they even got there.

...The attacker, who was shot dead by police, struck a garden in the city of Magdeburg where a family were hosting a private party to watch Germany’s opening match against Scotland.

At least three people were injured in the attack on Friday night, with two suffering severe wounds. Police have not yet released a statement as to the current condition of the victims.

A police spokeswoman said the attacker went for police officers on their arrival, and one officer drew his pistol and fatally shot him.

The killer is also suspected of murdering another man earlier in a high-rise building near where the party took place. Police were alerted when he threatened people on an allotment on his way to the party venue.

...Earlier this month, police arrested a known Islamist at Cologne Airport on charges that he had transferred cryptocurrency to an Islamic state cell in Afghanistan.

The suspect, identified only as Soufian T in line with German privacy laws, reportedly applied for jobs as a security guard at outdoor screenings of Euros matches, but his application was rejected based on a tip-off from Germany’s domestic security agency.

Germany has suffered a sharp rise in knife crime recently.

Knifing people in Germany while sending the money they earn working there back to ISIS in Afghanistan. What lovely people they've opened the gates to!

And the "sharp rise" in knife crime is staggering numbers-wise.

Hardly a day goes by without knife attacks in Germany.

There were 13,844 assaults and robberies involving knives in Germany in 2023 — more than 50% of perpetrators were immigrants and so-called “asylum seekers”.

This is 2022.

German police crime statistics presented in April grossly undercounted the number of knife attacks perpetrated in the country. The statistics presented by the President of the Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA) Holger Münch and the Federal Interior Minister Nancy Faeser (SPD) counted 8,160 knife attacks. Official figures from Germany’s federal states and state criminal investigation offices have revealed that the real number of knife attacks is significantly higher.

If one takes into account figures recorded and published by the state criminal police offices in Germany’s 16 federal states, the total number of knife attacks across the entire country exceeded 21,000 in 2022, which amounts to a staggering 60 attacks every single day, the German online magazine Tichy’s Einblick reports.

60 knife attacks a day. In a country with a shade under 84M people. They appear to have the usual European distaste for private firearm ownership from what I can tell. 

In 2023, there were over five million privately owned weapons in Germany. 941,697 people owned firearms or parts for firearms.

It took about 5 minutes of looking to find story after story, all recent, and so many videos of the same. Holy smokes, I had no idea. 

And today's entry from Hamburg.

Update on the knife man in Hamburg: The street was cordoned off over a wide area. A springboard was set up in front of the house in case the suspected perpetrator tried to jump out of the window. Several police officers surrounded the house with submachine guns and a service dog…

All's well that end's well there. They arrested this "knife man."

How did Olaf Scholz and the Greens not get wiped off the map?

That's my question, but then they could point to Chicago.
