18 April 2025: Four German News Stories

 1.  Yesterday, over near Chemnitz (eastern Germany)....a young German guy (23) stabbed a older German gal (59) in a serious way...just walking out of the front door of a grocery store.  From the next store....ran a 18-year old German gal to help stop the attack....and she got stabbed.

From what the police say....the guy had been on a forbidden-to-enter list,  and caught within the store....told to leave....he got peeved and attacked the first person that he saw exiting.  Police have detained the guy....both women are ok, but seriously wounded.  

I'll  go and predict....guy ends up with a mental eval, and sent off for permanent placement in a facility.

2. Berlin-City Council have new policy going into effect....all transportation 'hubs' (buses, trains, stations, etc) will have a no-weapons  policy.....meaning the police can stop you, force an ID check, and frisk you....within these locations.  Policy will start as soon as signs are placed to warn you of  the 'zone'.

3.  German Army says recruitment is up over 2024 (20-percent is suggested).

4.  Out of Bavaria, the number of hantavirus infections (from rodents) is noted on the rise....compared to previous years.....no indication why.
