Knife Attack Today?

 What Focus reports this afternoon....down in Bavaria onboard a ICE (high-speed rail) train....27-year old Syrian guy knifed three folks (2 seriously).

Police comments?  Well.....they say he had previously been seen for psychological problems.  Police arrived and detained the guy before any more injuries occurred.

"Psychological problems" - The way overused excuse for people who are just evil and do bad things.
BTW, I appreciate your essays and read them daily.

At no point, since 2013...during the migrant/asylum process...is there a review or test of your sanity. I can vouch for this because they even gave me a visa, without any medical check, or sanity review. Other than a copy of the marriage certificate to a German, and presenting a passport....that was it.

I talked in the 90's to a Iranian who'd come in the early 1980s to Germany. He had various hurdles in Tehran, with some type of medical check...before the Germans would approve him for asylum. All that required stuff appears to have gone away.

I'll just say...typically...(in the US or Europe) when you have people doing stupid things, there's drugs, alcohol, or psychological issues at work. Every guy/gal I've seen in the military that got 'dumped'/discharged-in-a-hurry...fell into one of those three categories. From my intel days, I still remember the trainee gal who'd made it through basic and maybe to the 6th week of tech training, when they discovered one day that she had an invisible 'friend' who sat next to her in the class. She was discharged a week later (don't know what happened to the invisible friend).
