28 Apr 2024: Six German News Stories

 1.  Cops found 223 kilograms of cocaine in a banana shipment coming into Germany....valued at 15-mil Euro.

2.  The Galeria store in Mainz (a Macey's-like store) is set to close.  The whole chain of Karstadt-Galeria....suffering from economic woes (long number of years with this issue).

3.  Demonstration in Hamburg yesterday....1,000 participants (at least the cops say this).  Point?  Islamic folks wanting a Caliphate in Germany (a political-religious state with Islamic rules governing society).  

4.  Two Ukrainians killed in Bavaria Saturday evening....by a suspected Russian.  Police have tracked the suspect down and arrested him. So far, no motive given.

5. N-TV item: German court system in 2023....opened up 5.4-million cases.  Where the increase came from?  Hate speech, on-line hate, and sex-stuff.

6.  About 30 min out of Bremen (north Germany)....some 6-year old kid (autistic) walked out of the house, and hasn't been seen since.  Wooded area. This weekend, German Army members have come in to assist in the search.
