Knife Attack

 Last Friday, there was a knife attack in Speyer.  I noticed the mention on Saturday, and waited a couple of days for the 'rest' of the story.

So what SWR says (from the police).....this Afghan guy (27 years old) wanted a relationship with a 16-year old local girl.  The girl said 'no'.  There's not a lot of details over her 'no'....we just have to assume she reviewed options and conditions, and just wisely came to a conclusion.....this won't work.  

Anger built up, and the Afghan guy came at the girl and her mother with a knife.

Both were cut to some degree, but appear to be improving today.

Charges?  Dangerous bodily harm will come out of this, and you could be looking at a period in jail for ten years.  Wouldn't surprise me if the prosecutor finds another charge or two....to guarantee fifteen years in prison.  

Maturity problem?  Generally, when you see these knife attacks over some love interest....it goes to a maturity issue and the guy (never a woman) can't handle a turn-down.  In his mind, it's an insult, and you can't allow women to insult you in this fashion.

I know....it's silly, but this is the 'big' world we live in Germany today.
