Yesterday an Afghan asylum seeker went on a rampage with a knife in the German city of Ravensburg, wounding three people. No motive for the deed has yet been ascertained, but for some reason the reports don’t mention mental illness, which is customary at this stage. However, the authorities have ruled out any possibility of “terrorism”.

A man injured three people with a knife in the center of Ravensburg in the Lake Constance region. But what are the reasons behind the deed?
September 28, 2018
Alleged perpetrator is a 19-year-old asylum seeker
The motive of the offender is still completely unclear in the evening, as the investigators emphasize. One excludes a terrorist background first, says a police spokesman. The alleged perpetrator is a 19-year-old asylum seeker from Afghanistan. The victims are two asylum seekers, 19 and 20 years old, from Syria, and a 52-year-old German, as police and prosecutors announced late in the evening.
Also:
That the alleged perpetrator could be arrested so quickly is thanks to the city’s Mayor. He was the one who stopped the man with the knife.
“I happened to be nearby,” said the 46-year-old to the German press agency. Because witnesses had run to him “completely hysterical”, he went to the crime scene at Marien Square. “Then suddenly the culprit stood in front of me with the blood-covered knife and threatened me. I then said: He should lay the knife on the ground.” The man did that. “It was such an instinctive act.”
A little later, the police arrived, and arrested the man. An official had dropped a walkie talkie, recalls Rapp. “I took it, called and said: “We need reinforcement, we need more people.” And the reinforcement came: According to the Ravensburg police, in the end all available officers were at the scene. The three injured have been taken to the hospital.

Thanks Merkel, this getting more and more often, it’s very sad what she did to this country, …I hope she will be gone soon , vote AFD , that’s the only hope..
It occurs to me that the victims are not only the people who got stabbed.
These people from Afghanistan, Somalia or wherever, have been dropped cold into a totally unfamiliar environment. Their villages, friends, family, religious leaders…all gone. Even if they are fed and housed, given phones and allowed to watch TV, they are still completely out of their milieu. They were told the money and women were free, but even if they get together in a gang and harass German women, they’re still without moorings. The knife attack could be an expression of frustration and hopelessness.
Who brought them to this? The usual cultural Marxist officials, who as usual, have not concern whatsoever with the people they are supposedly assisting. More immigrants means more disruption of the local culture, which is their base objective.
of course.Thy should be packed and send home.They will be hated and isolated all their lives.For the good of all people.
Cheryl Benard’s report offers some ideas to motivations;
‘I’ve Worked with Refugees for Decades. Europe’s Afghan Crime Wave Is Mind-Boggling’
‘This brings us to a third, more compelling and quite disturbing theory—the one that my Afghan friend, the court translator, puts forward. On the basis of his hundreds of interactions with these young men in his professional capacity over the past several years, he believes to have discovered that they are motivated by a deep and abiding contempt for Western civilization. To them, Europeans are the enemy, and their women are legitimate spoils, as are all the other things one can take from them: housing, money, passports. Their laws don’t matter, their culture is uninteresting and, ultimately, their civilization is going to fall anyway to the horde of which one is the spearhead. No need to assimilate, or work hard, or try to build a decent life here for yourself—these Europeans are too soft to seriously punish you for a transgression, and their days are numbered.’

Very interesting.
It’s a variant of the tragedy of the commons phenomenon, where a resource set aside for common use, under no particular ownership, is systematically ruined by overuse. In the case of the Afghan migrants, the material wealth and land of the Western countries are essentially publicly-available resources, free to anyone who takes them.
The defining factor is that nationalism, particularly in the government, is too weak or non-existent to exert a proprietary right over the wealth and goods of society. Globalism is a variant of socialism: borders and boundaries disappear, and everything is available to everyone.
You can’t really blame these Afghans for despising and hating Western culture and society. It’s like the Groucho Marx line: “I would never join a club that would have me as a member.”
The Afghan line is “I would never respect a culture that allows me to disrespect it.” I agree wholeheartedly.
So it took the entire available police on duty to subdue one guy with a knife. wow..
Eighty years ago to the day Hitler was given part of Czechoslovakia via a treasonous brokerage of Albion, France and Italy.
Karma is gonna get ya, Vierte Reich.
Smearing the Germans as eternal Nazis again?
The “counter jihad” is anti-White and anti-German.
Eh?
Migrants feel hopeless and frustrated ? So what, who cares ? Fix you own country.
Also I want to buy a ” Gates of Vienna” T-Shirt. Do you still sell them ? I had one a long time ago. I loved it !
Our Gates of Vienna Café Press site evidently aged out or something, and has been closed. The Holger Danske Café Press site is still active, however, so you can get a Holger T-shirt. Look on the sidebar of our main page.
Merkel has brought this mayhem to the streets. I hope the German people remember that the next time they visit a polling booth.
Hmmm… Lucky recipients of cultural enrichment …So exciting and vibrant!
Willkommen …Willkommen :-))
