Back around 13 months ago (November 2021), there was a terror situation onboard a ICE train in Bavaria.
To best sum up the details....a 28-year old Syrian guy attacked four passengers on a ICE (high speed rail) train with a knife. Three were wounded pretty seriously.
At the time, the cops simply said it was either mental problems or a radical Muslim situation.
Court wrapped up today....took around two months to complete the case.
Verdict? While they had seven mental experts examine the guy, and the defense really hyped up paranoid schizophrenia issues....the court decided 'no' and said he was guilty of dangerous bodily harm. He'll serve 14 years in a regular prison....not a mental clinic situation.
Chief issue for the guy? The police had findings that he was radicalized in 2018. From that point on, he was attempting to recruit friends over to the 'cause', stopped drinking, and stepped away from 'society'.
Oddly enough, about eight months prior to the attack....he got all hyped-up to leave Germany and return to Syria. Reading over the various sources....nothing ever came of that idea (you kinda wonder why this 'exit' fell apart).
My humble view? It doesn't take that much to brain-wash a guy, and get into a confused state of mind. Maybe with the 14-year period, he'll realize the path he took.
