If you read my essays/blog on a regular basis, you know that I've brought up the murder in Chemnitz in the past couple of weeks. Basically, you have a German-Cuban guy (his father was Cuban and his mother German....he'd lived in Germany his entire life), who bumped into a couple of migrant/immigrant guys and a fight occurred, with a stabbing. The German-Cuban is dead, and this has raised some serious negativity on immigration in the local area.
At the time that all of this unfolded, I noted that no one really was being told much of the story that occurred that night....what they argued over....or how this fight escalated into a stabbing incident. I figured the story would eventually come out.
Well, this morning....Focus (the German news magazine) did attempt to piece together the pieces that the cops are sharing. It's still not a complete story but it helps to fill in the holes.
Part of the story comes from a eyewitness and the rest from the accused guy.
You have three guys (all immigrants) who knew each other and on this evening around 2:30 AM (yep, it's always the early morning crowd who gets into these incidents).....ended up at a shisha bar in Chemnitz.
They wrapped up their smoke and headed off to a doner kebab establishment. The group included a couple of other individuals (women as well).
Somewhere on the street was a second group, which the Cuban-German was a member.
The accused guy asked the Cuban-German for a light for his cigarette. Something 'clicked' in this conversation. No one says if there were insults or some harsh words, but some type of 'insult' occurred.
The immigrant group backed off, and started to head away. Somewhere over the next minute or two.....there's some decision made that you couldn't allow the insult to stand. So a reverse occurred, and within a couple of minutes....this Cuban-German was dead on the street.
Evidence so far? From the two guys arrested, there is a suggestion that neither of them are involved in the stabbing, and maybe (just a maybe), it's the third guy on the run (cops haven't been able to locate him so far) that 'might' have been the culprit.
Some folks suggest that the arrest warrant was a mistake, and that it'll be dissolved at some point.
Will the cops find the missing third guy? I would suggest that he's left Germany, and maybe found a way to return to Iraq.
Alcohol or drugs involved? No one suggests that yet, but you are talking about 2 AM, and it's likely that all of the parties (including the dead guy) had some alcohol, and maybe some drugs.
So this is mostly about an insult on the street, and getting 'respect'? Yeah, that's basically the way that this stabbing occurs in Chemnitz. And the guy in jail is probably not the guy who stabbed the Cuban-German? Yep.
The problem I see.....is that on given Saturday night, there's likely five million young Germans in some urban 'party-district' sipping beer and alcohol....having a bit of weed or maybe popping some ecstasy pills....standing there at 2 AM, and there's some 25-percent chance you might bump into someone....accidentally insult them, and they come back five minutes later wanting 'respect' out of you, and you end up dead.
