This past week....a court case wrapped up.....concerning a January 2025 knife attack on kindergarten kids in Aschaffenburg. One adult (German, protecting the kids), and a 2-year old kid (not a German, but identified as a Moroccan)...were killed in the attack.
The perpetrator? He was a 28-year-old Afghan man who was paper-worked-up for deportation at the time of the attack.
What the court decided? The guy must be permanently committed to a psychiatric hospital.
The guy was deemed not criminally responsible at the time of the attack on January 22nd. Nutcase from the day he entered Germany in 2022? Well....no one says that but you have to wonder....from day one on....he probably wasn't right in the head. What is interesting...from spring of 2023....there were various violent moments...where the police were called, and the guy was charged-up in some fashion.
Spring of 2024....he was detained by the police....resisted them (pretty serious crime), and then he insulted the cops (another serious crime).
If you total up all the police actions, with charges and comments/reports....it's probably a 6-to-10 page full report. Just guessing here....if you added up police confrontations in man-hours....court-time...judge-time.....it's probably around 100 man-hours that this one guy consumed before we get to the 22nd of January.

Does the court system just not want to deal with the guy/ Or was there no jail space to keep him in prison pre trial?
Or just paralysis in the court system?
It's a curious situation...back around six years ago...the German legal system admitted that they were 'behind'. As crime numbers crept up....with more police hired, the court system didn't inflate. So they were getting behind. Added to this....more and more migrants came into the system, and questions started to arise....was this fellow mentally unbalanced. Meaning, you had to have a mental exam (something typically you didn't have to do with Germans). There was a case about 4 years ago with a 13-year old non-German kid. Kid attempted a nail-bomb...failing. Kid was caught, and sent off for mental rehab/exam....upon arriving (here in Wiesbaden)...took about 3 hours for them to say the kid was highly dangerous, and refused to accept.
If you ask me....I think the legal system (not the police) wants to believe there is still 'good' in 99.9-percent of people.
