We had two rather unique episodes occur in Wiesbaden over the weekend.
For those unfamiliar with the city....it's an urbanized area that was for decades...'quiet'. You didn't have much on crime, violence, or weird stuff. For an American family based out of the area....you didn't have any fears much and letting 14-year old 'Junior' wander around the city wasn't a big deal.
So to the first of these events....from midnight on Sunday morning....some guy started acting weird and made a knife threat on a person or two. Waving the knife around....he got immediate attention, and folks started calling the police. Within minutes, they were on the scene and detained the guy.
Drugs likely in the mix? No one says that but I would imagine he was on 'something'.
The second episode? A couple hours prior to the knife guy.....on the far west part of town....two guys are crossing a street and some guy is approaching the two.....pulls a pistol out and shoots at them. One of the two crossing the street is hit.....serious wound. Cops are called and a search starts up. They never find the guy.
The stranger? Just a situation out of a random situation.
It's just not as safe as it was in the 1980s.
