A large-scale search was underway Saturday in the western German city of #Solingen after three people were #killed and at least eight others #wounded, five of them seriously, in a #knife-attack at a #festival.“The police are currently conducting a large-scale search for the perpetrator,” #police said in a statement. They have assembled a large number of forces around Solingen city center, including special units. “Both victims and witnesses are currently being questioned,” they said.
People alerted police shortly after 9:30 p.m. Friday to an unknown attacker having wounded several people with a knife on a central square, the Fronhof. Police said that the perpetrator was on the run, and that they so far had only very thin information on the assailant. They said they believe the stabbings were carried out by a lone attacker and gave no information about the identities of the victims.
The “Festival of Diversity,” marking the city’s 650th anniversary, began Friday and was supposed to run through Sunday, with several stages in central streets offering attractions such as live music, cabaret and acrobatics.
To quote the great Martin van Creveld: “immigration is war”. Things aren’t going to get any better, to the contrary, they’re going to get considerably worse. Diversity is nothing more than the prelude to the violent struggle for power over the other minorities.
The greater the diversity in a community, the fewer people vote and the less they volunteer, the less they give to charity and work on community projects. In the most diverse communities, neighbors trust one another about half as much as they do in the most homogenous settings. The study, the largest ever on civic engagement in America, found that virtually all measures of civic health are lower in more diverse settings.
Such measures of civic health as “not getting stabbed.”
UPDATE: no formal description or images of the perpetrator have been released yet by German police.
And yet, I suspect literally everyone who is reading this could provide one that will turn out to be reasonably descriptive of the culprit.
