Yesterday, the German Federal Minister of the Interior (Seehofer, CSU) had a chat with the N-TV news folks. He put out an obvious thing about the terror attack situation from Wurzburg.
When all the smoke had cleared and the police had their round of initial investigation....here was this odd fact about this Somali guy.
Since arriving in 2015.....the guy had lived in three areas (regions) and for the entire period (7 years), he'd lived in homeless shelter arrangements. He'd never gone past that point.
No one in the integration business, or social office ever seeing this and noting a negative trend? Well....that's the suggestion.
The problem, if you drill down into it....this Somali guy probably arrived with a mental disorder, and no one ever questioned it or spent time with the guy to suggest a visit to a mental health clinic. They just arranged the paperwork....had him sign, and processed the guy onto the next point in life. The fact that a 25-year-old guy doesn't get put into a mandated job-training program or have a regular job? This fact kinda stands out.
How many refugees/immigrants fall into this category? Unknown. I'm guessing some data collection will take place over the next year, and several hundred folks like this will be identified. But even if you identify them.....then what? Forced participation in some mental health program?
All of this brings me to a curious thought....what if this guy with mental issues hadn't gone off to attack the women? What if he'd just been quiet and smiled.....doing nothing (no work), for the next forty years while living in the homeless shelter? Would anyone have noticed or done anything to counter that?
