As the Smoke Clears in Stuttgart

After the early AM riot concluded in Stuttgart.....we have some results.

Based on reporting from several sources, we can say this:

1.  Some 16-year old German kid is now accused of attempted homicide.  Video shows him kicking a kid on the ground during the riot.  The city prosecutor says the kid has accepted the possible 'death' of the student.  The injured kid isn't dead yet, but is in serious condition. 

2.  Warrants issued so far?  Eight total (one of them was issued on Sunday).

3.  Suspects on the list?  They include Germans, Croats, Iraqi, Portuguese and Latvians. Charges mostly circle around 'breaching the peace', and dangerous bodily harm.  Assault on law enforcement officers and theft are also coming up.  Those over 19....will be looking at serious time in prison, if convicted.  The youth crowd (under 19), will be looking at much lesser time.

4.  Mostly all male (two women among the 24 arrested in Sunday AM hours).

5.  A 40-member police commission will examine every single detail of the riot, what went wrong, and how to resolve this for the future.  Yeah, I would suggest it's a bit strong on numbers, but I think they are looking at motivation of the riot 'kids', and if more serious laws need to be created/recommended.

6.  The connection between alcohol and drugs?  This has been discussed for twenty years now.  You can go into numerous German urban areas and see the drug trade at work, with minimum police effort being made to resolve this.

7.  One odd aspect got brought up over Youtube videos seen from the riot.....at midnight, in the midst of the riot.....a fair number of 'kids' were wearing sunglasses and hoodies.  Some Germans don't believe the innocent 'kid' story that the politicians and police are putting out.  They think it's Antifa.
