An “Arab-looking man” went on a stabbing spree this evening in the German city of Solingen in North Rhine-Westphalia, at the “Festival of Diversity” (yes, that really is what the celebration is called). Three people were killed and at least four wounded. The perpetrator escaped, and is still being sought.
The German word for knife is “Messer”, and the headline in Bild reads “Messer-Amok in Solingen”. I’ll bet that by now German media writers have a hot key for the phrase “Messer-Amok”, for the sake of efficiency when writing their news reports.

Knife rampage in Solingen
At least three people killed at City Festival
Several seriously injured. Perpetrator on the run
Solingen — Dead and wounded at the City Festival! Around 9:45pm a man with a knife randomly stabbed passersby in Solingen . The perpetrator, according to witness statements an Arab-looking man, is on the run.
According to initial information, there are reportedly three dead and four seriously wounded. Dozens of rescue workers are busy treating the wounded. The scene of the crime is the Fronhof, a lively square in the inner city, with a stage built for the occasion of the City Festival and live bands were playing.
Perpetrator deliberately stabbed the throats of his victims
The man reportedly deliberately stabbed his victims in the throat with the knife. For that reason, the investigators are classifying the crime as a terror attack and no longer as a rampage.
The police have sounded a major rampage alarm, and a search for the stabber is underway. The City Festival was canceled and a police helicopter is circling. Heavily armed SEK units with about 40 special vehicles from all over North Rhine-Westphalia are in Solingen. Street intersections were closed, and residents were told to stay in their homes and avoid the city center. A temporary crisis center was set up in a cafe.
Rescue workers fight to save the lives of the injured
According to a report from the Solinger Tagblatt, Philipp Mueller, one of the co-organizers, stated from the stage that rescue workers were fighting to save the lives of nine people. Thousands of visitors followed the requests to leave the square calmly and not to panic. “The people are shocked but peaceful on the square,” Mueller informed the newspaper.
Lord Mayor Tim Kurzbach (46 SPD party) writes on Facebook: “This evening, all of us in Solingen are in shock, fright, and great sadness. We wanted to celebrate our city anniversary together and now have deaths and injuries to mourn. It breaks my heart that an attack has come to our city. I have tears in my eyes when I think of those we have lost. I pray for all who are fighting for their lives.”
It was supposed to last until Sunday. In the announcement it states: “Central Solingen will be a big party mile. From Neumarkt past Fronhof to Muhlenplatz there will be celebrations. In the streets, visitors expect a program with music, cabaret, acrobatics, handicrafts, entertainment for children, and much more. Over three days, 80,000 visitors are expected.”
Is just no words, what is happening in Germany !!, keep voting for this criminals in Bundestag, your children and grandchildren will live in the Islamic terror!!, „ Das beste Deutschland in alle Zeiten „ , how long more naive Germans will keep voting for that traitors, filth ..
Maybe the elections are rigged in Germany too?
And the answer of the Government will be most likely a “banning” of knives in public spaces. As if such stupid rules would be obeyed by those that do not obey any rules or Laws in the first place.
Eventually the whole shebang will go off with a massive bang.
Then those morons wonder of how this could’ve happened.
I seriously do HATE these spineless puppeticians, and if I could wipe them all from the face of the earth I’d call it a service to humanity and wouldn’t lose a split second of sleep over it.
Also, that stupid Prime Minister of NRW calls this “An act of brutal and senseless violence”.
Maybe he still doesn’t know what Islam is, or he does know and just ignores it, which in my humble opinion is the case.
He and his kind are as guilty of this Terror attack as the attacker.
Any dog-owner will be dragged through the courts if their dog mauls someone that comes to visit to their home or as an intruder. But these bloody puppeticians seem to be above the Laws they’re implementing, not to protect, but to oppress the native populace with them.
No words to describe!!
Indeed successive governments in the UK have ignored the advance of Islam into and now across our land. They applauded the lethal introduction of Multiculturalism, which in the word cultural has not been a success by anyone’s imagination, but a total disaster. You cannot, we ( the people) have told the Politicians, mix cultures as they had expected or believed, it does not work and certainly not in the case of Islam. Those that follow the teachings of Islam have grown by many thousands, and many of them now hold important roles in our country that can influence, how the future will unfold. Extremely concerning. Clearly the numbers of illegal immigrants arriving on the shores of the United Kingdom, and indeed the numbers that have entered Europe/Germany as of the generous invitation from Mrs Merkel – Has now become a massive and an almost unprecedented problem for all of Europe.
“Stay in your home and avoid the city centre.” Sounds like an order for kăfir only.
Please forgive, but I’ve no sympathy for anyone who dies at a diversity festival. Germany is a failed society.
I don’t be sorry for that naive idiots , who vote over and over for that same traitors !!it’s just outrageous..
Germany – stuck on stupid since 1871.
Just leave the stupid place and move on with your life.
The organizers hid the attack while the Arabs stabbed –
“We don’t want to panic”
Published August 24, 2024
During a gig at Solingen’s multicultural festival, the DJ Tobias Topic was asked to continue playing, even though an Arab with a knife attacked the audience at that moment. He writes that on Instagram.
During Tobias Topic’s performance, a person entered the stage and informed him that a knife attack had taken place, but still asked him to continue playing to avoid panic among the thousands of festival-goers.
The perpetrator managed to kill three people and injure ten more, five of them seriously, before the music was finally turned off after about 20 minutes and the visitors were finally informed of what had happened.
The perpetrator managed to flee the scene, perhaps as a result of a cover-up by the organisers, and an intensive police manhunt is still ongoing.
The festival, which was supposed to continue over the weekend, has now been canceled and large parts of Solingen are cordoned off. Helicopters are still searching for the Arab suspect.
You have incomplete information. Also detained was a 15-year-old Kyrgyz who knew about the crime but did not report it. Expect more Kyrgyz, Tajiks and Uzbeks in your countries. While there is a war going on in Russia, migration flows from these republics are slowly heading to the West.
The irony is also that Zollinger is known for his knives.
Then I would like to separately say about the “Diversity Festival”. In Russia, too, recently we have been celebrating anniversaries of the founding of cities. And nowhere do we do without the so-called “Plov Festivals”, where the main attention is paid to the people who came to colonize these cities in the last two decades.
If they are trying to impose “friendship of peoples” on us, then why is it done so vulgarly? As if on purpose, to anger us.
