Just Odd

 I've talked/essayed over the ICE-train episode from Friday....where some guy had some 'attack' planned.....lit some fire-works, and wounded in some  fashion around a dozen passengers.

Police arrested the guy, and did a search of his apartment....finding a Koran and copy of Hitler's Mein Kampf.

Typically....in 99-percent of cases....where you've held the guy more than 24 hours and likely to charge them....you make a public statement on 'John-A' (using this first  name and initial format).

Well....German police want to continue withholding the name of the 20-year-old right-wing radical attacker on the ICE.  

Social media hype?  Most Germans are saying it's a Middle Eastern name....so the police and authorities want to avoid this type of hype.

I thought about this, and it's odd timing....doing some terror act on a 4-day weekend....with a lot of 'bosses' on leave/holiday.  My bet?  Come Tuesday AM....some police 'boss' has returned from his trip and signs off on identifying the guy.

Naturally, if you asked me on the odds of some guy having both a copy of the Koran and Mein Kampf.....maybe it could be a regular German guy who is a bit confused and mentally impaired.....who happens to have some knives.
