I talked about this in mid-January....29-year-old Eritrean guy stabbed two MediaMarkt employees in Ulm with a knife. One of the two fairly serious wound. Knife guy ran....threatened police officers with the blade....ended up being shot (alive).
So, the rest of the story from this AM.
Knife-guy arrived in Germany in 2017 as a “refugee”.
Apparently.....he had stabbed someone else back in Neu-Ulm in 2020. For this....he got 3.5 years in prison plus additional sentences for drugs. Left in Dec 2025.
Here's the thing....his status was initially revoked in 2023 and he had an obligation to leave Germany since 2024....HOWEVER....Eritrea won't take the guy back. So Germany is left with no solution.
Current game? Assess his mental situation...maybe this time...sign off that he's permanently crazy. Sign off that he's OK, and send off to a court situation....probably getting another 3.5 to 5 years of jail.
The problem is.....each month that passes, you have another assault like this which occurs, and hypes up the public to support the AfD....because the other folks (CDU, Greens, SPD) can't seem to make the street safe (the perception).
Blunt truth? Probably 98-percent of 'guests' are safe, and trying to fit into German society. Reaching some level of figuring out the 2-percent and what to do with them? That's the tricky part of the problem, and no one really wants to be the 'Einstein' to create a fix.
Personally, if I were the a 3rd-world country with nutcases....yeah, I'd do everything possible to get them to be someone else's 'problem'. Germany just hasn't realized that yet.
Footnote: Going back to 2013....when I got my visa....I thought the Germans would test me for mental stability. Well....no....they seemed to be automatically accepting me....even if I were a nutcase.
