Society Trend

 For several years....I've kinda followed crime trends in Germany, and locally (in my town of Wiesbaden).....there's been this odd trend where assaults and knife crimes have been a growing problem.  

Last night (Monday)....around 7 PM....on a key avenue of Biebrich (suburb of town by the river)....a fight broke out.

Six guys....fists used for the start-up, but a knife entered the situation fairly quickly.  One guy had a significant knife wound, and three others had some patch-up work done at a local clinic.

What was the argument about?  No one says.  Cops asking for witnesses.  No one talks over nationalities, but I doubt this is a ethnic-German discussion.

Biebrich?  Well...this was a part of town that drew working-class Germans....at least through the 1970s/1980s.  If you looked over the population of this suburb in the past twenty years....it's probably one-quarter immigrants today.  To be fair....it's also been a magnet for drug activity (the Schlosspark isn't the same as it was 30 years ago).
