Laying The Landscape Of This Regensburg 'Attack'

 I essayed the basic story of this attack in Regensburg a couple of days ago....since then, the police have updated it.  BR (public TV for Bavaria) talked over this story.

What you have is a regional psychiatric facility,  for juveniles.

So on this day last week...one of the facility folks (older guy, 63 years old)....had some 7-year kid that he was attending to....when a 14-year old kid came into the situation.

Both the facility guy and the 7-year old were attacked.  

How the 14-year old ended up in a psychiatric unit?  Well....this gets interesting.  Police had some situation early in 2023 develop, where the kid and an associate were planning out a school shooting.  This apparently got discovered....then the cops got into their browsing...finding they also wanted to learn how to make bombs.  Some cyber cop team got into these details, and the duo were arrested.  They were set to a facility (the kid was 13 at that point in time).

So he's been there for a minimum of nine months.  

The 7-year kid attack?  He died Friday night, so there would be murder charges brought up but I doubt if they can do much with the 14-year old kid....other than hold him to age 20.  

Too dangerous for society?  There is a German law of sorts,  which says once x-crime has been committed and you go off to prison....a prosecutor can review options near the release date, and ask for a safety review from a judge.  If the judge determines that the held guy is too dangerous to release from prison.....you stay, without any discussion much (unless you can really prove you are safe).  

In this case, I would imagine this young guy probably won't ever be released.  

How the kid got a butcher knife in a psychiatric unit?  Well....that part hasn't been explained in public news (yet).
