I've essayed several pieces to this Monday morning 'push' of a mother and son onto the tracks of a arriving train, with the son being killed. The culprit is a immigrant guy from Eritrea who had settled in Switzerland around 13 years ago. Cops have him and will be charging him with murder, and two counts of attempted murder. So, there are five odd things on this story that I've come to notice:
1. Somewhere in the past two years in the Zurich area of Switzerland, this Eritrean guy had a emotional breakdown of some type, and had a period of time in a facility. No one says what the issue concerned, and you get the impression that he was only released because the doctor felt medication would take care of the problem. So, what was the medication? Maybe it's just me, but based on his actions....I'm guessing he's got some kind of paranoid schizophrenic situation.
2. The Swiss pro-asylum crowd were so happy over this guy's progress since 2006, and his enthusiasm to assimilate.....that they used his picture and his story in at least one national story. In simple terms, he was their 'poster-boy'.
3. Neighbors and associates of this guy....generally all say that in the summer of 2018....his whole perception of things changed. No explanation given over what they saw....but the words used makes one think that he was having a breakdown.
4 While this guy didn't use a knife in the Frankfurt 'push'.....if you go back around three days prior to Zurich (his home-town)....he got into an argument with some neighbor and suddenly had a knife (at least what the neighbor reported). If you go around most Germans or Swiss.....the vast majority never carry a knife on their person. Immigrants? It's this odd thing that I've come to notice in Germany that a lot of the migrant male 16 to 25 age group....carry knives.
5. Finally, it is rather odd that the ARD and ZDF public TV news teams spent a fair amount of time on the story on both Monday and Tuesday evenings. They've had to admit he was a migrant....long-settled into Switzerland, and it's the type of story that in 2014 and 2015....they would have avoided as much as possible.
