1. Added update on the Mannheim terror attack. Prosecutor has up attempted murder charges (5) against the guy involved (25-year old Afghan guy who'd been in Germany 11 years).
So I looked at the list of folks attacked (5 of them). Three of the wounded are Germans. Oddly, one is a Iraqi, and the other is a Kazakh-German citizen.
The cop wounded in the episode? He was pronounced dead yesterday.
Police talking to the knife-guy? Well....no. From the gunshot wound....he's been 'out' since delivered to the hospital.
If you ask me personally....I'd say some mental eval will occur, and he's deemed with a mental issue.
2. Wiesbaden opened up a summer beer-garden operation on the walk-platz yesterday.
3. 127 cars opened up the 24-hour race scheduled for this weekend (Saturday) at the Nürburgring.
About 12 hours into it....race halted because of fog.
4. If you can find a copy of WELT from yesterday....interesting piece written by Harold Martenstein. Topic? "This mood is the fault of politicians who are not doing their job."
Yeah, it's a pretty tough criticism piece over politicians in Germany who are watching issues develop with migration and lagging behind on re-enforcing standards.
Somewhere in the first paragraph....he writes: "Helplessness and uncertainty are spreading."
I'll just say from an outsider prospective....a majority of Germans are grumbling over safety issues and someone down the line has to take the blame.
