And the Vice Chancellor is calling for knife control. Yeah, sure, Habeck, that’ll fix this problem in a jiffy.
“German feds take over festival stabbing case, citing suspected terrorism,” by Kate Brady and Rachel Pannett, Washington Post, August 25, 2024 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
BERLIN — German federal prosecutors took over the investigation Sunday of a stabbing rampage in the city of Solingen that left three people dead, citing suspected terrorism.
A 26-year-old Syrian man turned himself in to police late Saturday after a day-long manhunt, which included a search of refugee housing in the city center, said Raimund Dockter, a spokesman for the Düsseldorf police, in a telephone interview Sunday. “This person’s involvement in the crime is currently being investigated,” he said.
A motive remains unclear, but federal prosecutors are investigating the Syrian man on suspicion of being a member of the Islamic State terrorist group, which claimed responsibility for the attack, according to Carolin Sauermann, a prosecution spokeswoman….
The Islamic State group claimed responsibility for the assault late Saturday, calling the assailant “a soldier” who attacked “a gathering of Christians in the city of Solingen” and appearing to refer to the war in Gaza, saying the assailant “took revenge for the Muslims in Palestine and elsewhere.”…
Solingen, a western city about 15 miles east of Düsseldorf, is home to about 160,000 people. Like many cities in Germany, which has accepted millions of asylum seekers, it is also host to a number of refugees from countries such as Iraq, Syria and Afghanistan….
Fatal stabbings and shootings are rare in Germany, but a recent uptick in knife crimes prompted the government to promise tougher weapons laws. In April, a police officer was fatally stabbed at an anti-Islam rally in Mannheim.
Following Friday’s stabbings, German Vice Chancellor Robert Habeck said more weapons-free zones and stricter weapons laws are necessary.
“No one in Germany needs bladed and stabbing weapons in public. We no longer live in the Middle Ages,” Habeck said.

When is this disgraceful refusal to accept the nature of Islam going to end.! How many people are they going to be able to murder in the name of Islam before the authorities act!
Mike says
“We no longer live in the Middle Ages.”
The problem is that many Muslims still mentally live in the Middle Ages, or even in the Bronze Age.

Rufolino says
They are shamelessly gaslighting the German public, out of fear that their applecart might be overturned, and politicians with it.
somehistory says
How do these ‘authorities’ look at their own faces in the mirror and not see “stupid” stamped in red on their foreheads?
Ban guns….and the criminals still carry and use them in public/private places.
Ban knives….and mozlums will still carry them and use them to terrorize innocent people; murdering and maiming.
GE says
Well said, somehistory!
More weapon free zones and stricter weapons laws?
Yeah, that’ll do the trick. (NOT)
somehistory says
Thank you, GE
They will likely go through with the plan.
James Lincoln says
According to the feature article:
“…cops search for motive…”
Within 24 hours, they’ll declared to be due to “mental illness”.
With nothing to do with islam.

I often get drunk, never once have I wanted to stab anyone while drunk.

Germany: Even after ISIS says it carried out jihad massacre at Festival of Diversity, cops search for motive
……………………………………….
Derp, derp…gee–whatever could it be?
࿗Infidel࿘ says
Yesterday, I was calling for knife control in a UK thread about stabbings, and now the Vice Chancellor Habeck is endorsing it as well! Awesome!
WPM says
Knife control?? Will the jihadist switch to running people over with cars or trucks wait they all ready do that Will they switch making explosives with ready easy to get chemicals in hardware stores wait they already do that. Will they switch using sports bat (baseball ect) axe handles ,homemade swords , pick axes ,shovels sharped metal bars ,paving stones ,bricks ,wait they already do that .Will the Germany authorities stop Moslems refugees from flooding their country and deport violent illegal “refugees” no they can not do that? What is the definition of insanity doing the same thing over and over and thinking you will get a different result. Why do the German people keep electing officials that seem to hate them enough to either have them killed or live in what will devolve into a sharia three world country?

OLD GUY says
Islamic muslim followers bring DIVERSITY to the FESTIVAL OF DIVERSITY. Did Germany learn anything about Islamic NON-DIVERSITY POLICIES?
The Only diversity Islam brings is how many methods they can use to kill now islamic followers.
Scotsman48 says
Considering the German people born after 1945 appear to be ashamed of their parents and Grandparents actions during the 12 years of Nazism it is rather astounding that they then embraced bringing into Germany millions of people from other countries that have openly despised Jews for centuries.
islamism is the new nazism.

Islamic nation’s motive is the qu’ran.
