Liban M. (26), who stabbed two 20- and 35-year-old men to death in the Oggersheim district of Ludwigshafen on October 18, 2022, has been acquitted. The Somali had also chopped off the hand of a 27-year-old and critically injured him. In doing so, he shouted “Allahu Akbar”.
The First Grand Criminal Chamber of the Frankenthal Regional Court in Rhineland-Palatinate considered it proven that the defendant had committed the first two murders in the street and the third in a drugstore. In each case, he had also taken advantage of the “helplessness and defenselessness” of the victims and thus fulfilled the murder criterion of “insidiousness”.
However, the presiding judge found the asylum seeker, who was shot incapacitated by police during the massacre, not guilty. According to her, he had suffered from acute paranoid schizophrenia at the time of the crime. Therefore, she had to issue an acquittal.
Instead, she ordered the defendant to be placed in a psychiatric hospital. Due to the established illness at the time of the crime, “his ability to control was suspended”. According to Ludwigshafen24, the presiding judge explained that a person who acted without guilt could not be punished for his actions. Therefore, the acquittal, “as painful as it is,” was inevitable. The verdict is not yet final.
According to police, the crime was committed after an argument with his girlfriend about the whereabouts of their children. Afterwards, the African man went berserk and stabbed passers-by indiscriminately.
Police in Scotland say they are investigating allegations that two of their own officers were involved in a child abuse ring in Glasgow in 2014.
It comes after Sky News investigated organised sexual abuse in the city and spoke to one young woman who claimed she had recognised an officer who sexually abused her as a child because he was the same man who sometimes picked her up and took her home after she went missing.
Data examined by Sky News also show a huge gulf between the number of children referred for help as victims of modern slavery, compared to the number of attempted prosecutions for the crime.
Toni Louise, now 22, has waived her anonymity to tell her story.
She says she was groomed and sold for sex by a man she thought was her boyfriend.
The first time he told her to have sex with another man she was 12 years old.
She said: “One day he was like ‘I need you to do something for me. And well you don’t really have a choice in it’.”
“I was kind of like, ‘I don’t really want to do this’. And he was like, ‘It’s too late now. I’ve already told him that you’re gonna do it’. And that was the first time that I was sold for money.”
Toni Louise said she started to go truant from school.
“At first it was only like once or twice a week that I would have to leave school. And then it got to like every day. It got to the point where I wasn’t even making it up to school. He was picking me up at the end of my mum’s street.”
Sold to up to ’30 men a day’
She says she was sold to up to 30 men a day, to people of all nationalities and from all walks of life including, she claims, two police officers.
Challenged on how she knew they were police officers, she replied: “Because some of them were the ones that took me home, when I’ve been reported missing. So, I’ve seen them in their uniform.”
She says one officer who abused her several times over a six-month period even had a conversation with her mother in the kitchen after dropping her back home.
According to her account, the fact that he was one of her abusers was never mentioned during the car journeys.
She said: “I think work mode is different to ‘I’m going to rape a child’ mode like it was never acknowledged.”
Toni Louise eventually escaped her situation, but says when she first reported it to the police she was told: “You’ve got an active imagination for a wee girl haven’t you?”
Initially, she did not report the allegations referring to the police officers for fear it would not be believed.
But numerous alleged crimes against her have been logged by Glasgow police including 29 rapes. There was an investigation but, despite one person being charged, it did not reach court.
‘She was very thin, very small’
Toni Louise has now reported the alleged incidents involving police officers and in a statement, Police Scotland said: “A new report of child exploitation involving police officers from 2014 was received by Police Scotland on 9 May 2022.
“This report is now being investigated by specialist officers from our National Sexual Crimes Unit and we are unable to comment further at this stage.
“We would like to reassure anyone who has been a victim of sexual crime that time is no bar to reporting and all allegations will be fully investigated, regardless of the identity of the perpetrator.”
Twenty years ago the charity Barnardo’s first suggested around 100 children were being sold for sex in Glasgow. Over the years concerns have resurfaced especially, around the area of Govanhill.
When Sky News first began investigating the story three years ago a local sex worker, “Beth”, said she saw a child being sold for sex in one of Glasgow’s poorest suburbs.
She told Sky News: “She looked about 13, 14, if that. She was very thin, very small. I could see that she was definitely working. So, I went over to her and said, ‘are you alright?’ and she just didn’t want to talk to me and stepped back from me as if she was scared of me. I said, ‘are you working?’
“And this man came out from absolutely nowhere, absolutely nowhere, and said ‘she’s fine. Is there a problem?’ and I said ‘no, just wondering if she’s well’ and he said, ‘she’s fine.’ I said, ‘are you with her then?’ and he just said, ‘yeah I’m her uncle.'”
Abused from the age of eight
Another alleged victim, speaking anonymously, told Sky News that she was abused from the age of eight, initially by a local shopkeeper.
She said: “They were giving me drink at a young age. And like juice, ice cream, ’cause we didn’t have a lot. Didn’t have money for ice cream.”
Children’s treats turned to drugs and what began as one individual’s sexual abuse in the back of the shop became regular exploitation by groups of men, in properties across Govanhill. One of the properties was on the same street where Toni Louise says she was regularly abused, although the two women have never met.
Male child victims of modern slavery are mostly involved in criminality such as selling drugs, with girls most often sold for sex.
Sky News analysis of national data in Scotland found that in three years, 349 children have been given a “reasonable grounds” decision under the national referral mechanism (MRM) as being victims of modern slavery. Yet, data over that period shows only eight attempted prosecutions – and not one conviction.
The picture is no better across the rest of the country. In the United Kingdom, there have been over 18,000 minors who have received “reasonable grounds” decisions by the NRM between 2016 and 2021.
Yet over the same period, the Crown Prosecution Service completed just 185 modern slavery-related prosecutions involving a child victim – with a 51% conviction rate.
A builder who attempted to forcibly remove Just Stop Oil protesters from blocking traffic in London on Tuesday morning was detained and handcuffed by police overseeing the disruption.
The incident occurred on London’s Blackfriars Bridge shortly before 8:30 a.m., with footage circulating on social media showing several far-left activists blocking the road and holding banners.
As commuters sounded their horns and edged their vehicles forward in frustration, one worker took matters into his own hands, exiting his vehicle and attempting to drag a protester to the sidewalk in order to clear the road.
The footage shows at least three police officers on the scene overseeing the protest but doing little to remove the disruption from the road.

Upon seeing the vigilantism, two police officers swiftly stepped in to detain the commuter and place him in handcuffs as the protesters returned to their position in the middle of the road.
As officers manhandled the builder and restrained him, the Just Stop Oil activists could be heard shouting, “Disgusting!”
“Give the guy a break, he’s trying to get to work!” replied one individual.
One onlooker, as cited by LBC, said: “A builder trying to get to work attempts to physically move Just Stop Oil protestors. The police only move in when he gets physical, if they had removed the selfish protesters then these predictable, physical altercations wouldn’t happen.”
A statement by the Metropolitan Police read: “At around 08.25hrs, officers detained a male member of the public for common assault after an altercation between him and two Just Stop Oil protesters on Blackfriars Bridge this morning. There have been no arrests.”
The Just Stop Oil campaign, more concerned with just stopping traffic in recent times, commented: “This is an impossible situation. Do we disrupt other ordinary people, like this man, arrested for lashing out today, or just sit back and watch everything burn?
“That’s where our government has left us. More and more people are realizing taking action is the right thing to do.”
Where moonbats prevail (e.g., the federal government under Democrat rule, the education establishment), being a left-wing black woman is the only qualification needed to attain any job. If it is enough for the Supreme Court, it is enough for a college professor — even for psychopaths like Shellyne Rodriguez:
A Manhattan college professor flipped out on a group of students who set up an information table opposing abortion inside the school building — cursing and tossing their pamphlets…
Shellyne Rodriguez, an adjunct professor, told the pro-life students they were “triggering” her students by tabling inside Hunter College in Manhattan earlier this month. …
“You’re not educating s–t. This is f–king propaganda,” the art professor told the students tabling on May 2. “What are you going to do like anti-trans next?”
Resisting the transsexual agenda would be an even greater thought crime than opposing abortion.
She then pushed the anti-abortion materials off the table toward the students while exclaiming “f–k this s–t” and walked off…
The PSC Graduate Center is a labor union representing City University of New York professors. On behalf of the liberal establishment, it endorsed Rodriguez’s behavior:
“Her actions to shut down the tabling were fully justified, and are part of a long and celebrated CUNY legacy of confronting groups such as military recruiters who disseminate misleading information,” the group said in a letter of support.
Affirmative Action hires can still get fired, but they have to push the envelope farther still:
The Post knocked on the door of [Shellyne Rodriguez’s] Bronx apartment Tuesday morning — a day after she made headlines for flipping out on pro-life students at Hunter College.
“Get the f–k away from my door, or I’m gonna chop you up with this machete!” the manic adjunct art professor shouted from behind her closed door just moments after veteran reporter Reuven Fenton identified himself.
Seconds later, Rodriguez barged out and alarmingly put the blade to the reporter’s neck.
The reporter wasted no time getting out of there, but Rodriguez followed, brandishing the machete, shrieking,
“Get the f–k off the block! Get the f–k out of here, yo!”
She chased him all the way to his car. No worries about police interfering; this happened in New York City under Eric Adams.
However, the optics were bad enough for Rodriguez to be viewed by educrats as a liability to the cause of moonbattery, so she was fired. She may turn up in DC next time Biden has an open cabinet position.
In the meantime, she is suing the NYPD for oppressing her during the Black Lives Matter riots, in which she unsurprisingly participated. She says she suffered nerve damage when police had to restrain her with zip ties.
The lawsuit adds that the injuries also impacted “her ability to make art.”
So she won’t be hurting moneywise. A jury of NYC liberals will see to that by looting themselves on her behalf.
Until this week, Sam Brinton, formerly hailed as the first “non-binary” senior federal official as head of nuclear waste management has avoided jail or prison, despite two guilty pleas for luggage theft at airports in Las Vegas and Minneapolis. But with his arrest as a fugitive accused of a third luggage theft at Reagan National Airport in Washington, he is about to experience life as a jailbird. Marjorie Hernandez of the New York Post reports:
Non-binary former nuclear official Sam Brinton is to be placed in a men’s jail in Maryland while waiting to be sent to Virginia over suitcase theft charges.
A Montgomery County Sheriff’s deputy told The Post Tuesday that Brinton is in a “pre-placement” hold at the county jail and should be housed with the “general population” of the men’s jail sometime next week.
Under the Montgomery County Department of Correction and Rehabilitation policy, inmates are processed and housed according to their biological sex.
The policy states: “Although MCDOCR does not consider anatomical changes brought about by hormonal therapy to be changes that constitute a change of anatomical sex, the classification of an arrestee/inmate will depend on whether the arrestee/inmate has male or female genitalia, whether they present a management or security problem, and whether their health and safety can be ensured.
“Once an inmate is classified, they will be given a housing assignment based on that classification.”
I sincerely hope that Brinton avoids being victimized by rape, which is all too common in American correctional facilities – a national scandal that gets far too little attention. Perhaps his high profile or the good leadership I hope is in place in Maryland and Virginia will help him avoid that fate. But a twin problem of that scandal is the jailhouse rape that takes place when violent biological males are placed in women’s detention facilities because they claim to be women.
It may be that the theft at Reagan National will draw actual incarceration because the victim in that case was Asya Khamsin, a Tanzanian clothing designer currently living in Houston, whose one-of-a-kind creations were allegedly stolen and then modeled and photographed in public by Brinton. That hubris of his led to Khamsin reporting the theft to police in Houston, which ultimately led to his arrest in Maryland. Because her life’s work and intellectual property, not just some dresses, were stolen, the crime and extent of victimization was greater than the other two thefts.
In Virginia, grand larceny, VA Law 18.2-95, is defined as a theft of over $1000 in value and carries a potential prison term of up to 20 years.
Brinton’s former job carried awesome responsibilities considering the lethality of plutonium and other nuclear waste. That someone guilty of the crime of stealing other people’s luggage was so entrusted speaks volumes about the irresponsibility of Biden’s appointment.
Dortmund’s Nordstadt district is mostly inhabited by migrants, yet police are ordered to overlook migrant crime, Sebastian “sebrem” B…, Wikimedia Commons,CC-BY-SA-3.0
In the city of Dortmund, police officers from the troubled multicultural “Wache Nord” station say they have experienced increased levels of repression, including from police officials, for doing their job. The police are told not to control the migrant population there, even as businesses and locals complain about open-air drug markets and routine violence.
Police officers spoke to Bild under the condition of anonymity to detail the worrisome development.
“If there are accusations, whether from intensive offenders or left-wing extremists, you are dropped immediately. There is no longer a presumption of innocence for us,” said one police officer while speaking with Bild.
There is a “deliberate criminalization of colleagues,” said another officer who also wished to remain anonymous.
Those who challenge the worsening situation are asked to transfer out of the station, with the officers facing daily pressure to conform. The officers also say they are under constant surveillance.
“Our social media profiles have even been searched, with private photo albums objected to because we allegedly have right-wing extremist tendencies. The police chief only wants to look good, we don’t interest him,” said one of the officers.
The officers are also told to run checks or stop migrants as seldom as possible following the death of Senegalese migrant Mouhamed D., a 16-year-old youth who was armed with a knife and shot dead in the Nordstadt district of the city last year. The police officers say that due to concerns over bad press, they are told to reduce interactions with the migrant population.
“But then who are we supposed to control in Nordstadt, where almost only migrants live?” asked one law enforcement officer. “At a demonstration after the fatal shooting, an African registered a complaint against police violence. The man matched the description from an arrest warrant, but we were still forbidden by the chief from arresting this man.”
The police officers also find new community policing efforts demeaning and ineffective. They are even now being called to meet with known criminals and drink coffee with them and set up events in front of the police station, including a “wheel of fortune” to interact with the community.
“It’s really absurd,” said one officer while describing the new program.
Meanwhile, he said, there is a vicious cycle in place that prevents officers from making arrests.
“If you arrest someone and there is resistance and you have to take action, you are still the stupid one afterward. So it’s better not to do it,” said the officer. “There is no appreciation, no respect for our difficult work anymore.”
In the Farrukhabad district of Uttar Pradesh, a Muslim man named Kunwar Asif Ali was allegedly threatened by the Imam of a mosque, for wearing a saffron-coloured (Kesariya/Bhagwa) Kurta while offering namaz. Speaking to OpIndia, Asif Ali said that the incident took place on Friday, May 19. Meanwhile, a case has been registered against the accused Imam Mahtab Hafiz.
According to the complaint filed by Asif Ali, the matter pertains to the Shamshabad police station precinct in Farrukhabad wherein the Imam of Jama Masjid in Mohalla Qazi Tola, Mahtab Hafiz threatened the complainant on Friday after he offered namaz at the mosque wearing a saffron-coloured kurta not to come to the mosque wearing saffron coloured attire.
When Asif argued that “all the colours have been created by Allah then why namaz should not be performed while wearing a saffron-coloured dress?” An enraged imam further called saffron colour the colour of Hindus and warned Asif not to offer namaz wearing saffron clothes again.

The accused imam also allegedly said that if there was Muslim rule, he would have explained the complainant ‘properly’. “Had there been a Muslim government here, you would have been explained properly. Do not come to the mosque in saffron-coloured clothes again or the consequences not be good,” Imam Mahtab Hafiz allegedly said.
Imam Mahtab of Jama Masjid is claimed to be a Farrukhabad inhabitant of Ghatiyapur. According to Asif, the imam humiliated him in front of everyone and expelled him from the mosque after these threats. The complainant has demanded action against the accused Imam, claiming that his fundamental freedom has been violated. Following his complaint, the police filed an FIR under section 506 of the IPC against Imam Mahtab Hafiz. Further legal action is being taken in the case, according to the police.
“Have been targeted three times”: Asif Ali tells OpIndia
Kunwar Asif Ali told OpIndia that he likes wearing saffron-coloured clothing. However, he has been the target of Imam and Mufti hatred three times at various mosques due to his saffron clothes. According to Asif, he was once beaten up in a mosque in Shamsabad. Asif called those who link colours with religion “haters,” adding that many Hindus wear green clothes, however, nobody from the Hindu community objects to it.
Mob set out to attack Asif Ali, returned midway dreading Yogi government
According to Asif, after an FIR was registered against the Imam of Jama Masjid in response to his complaint, a mob comprising of Muslim youths proceeded to attack him. However, knowing about CM Yogi Adityanath’s government zero tolerance policy towards rioters and that their houses would be bulldozed, the mob returned halfway. Asif Ali claimed to be a doctor and stated that he has contested the election of a councillor on a BJP ticket.
In the country where Spinoza became a prophet of atheism, Karl Marx investigated the roots of capitalism, the Founding Fathers started their journey, Descartes, Rousseau and Sade published their writings and Locke put his hand to the “Letter on Tolerance”, there is a man transformed into a ghost for criticizing Islam: he is the most protected in Europe.
Geert Wilders, the leader of the right-wing Party for Freedom (PVV) in the Netherlands, received hundreds of serious death threats last year, “like all other Dutch politicians combined”. Of 1,125 death threats – a new record and double the previous year – against 240 MPs, 600 threats were directed against Wilders alone, the conservative who criticizes Islam, defends “Judaeo-Christian civilization” and who as a young man spent six months on an Israeli kibbutz. Former Pakistani cricketer Khalid Latif has just been charged by the Dutch public prosecutor’s office with placing a bounty on Wilders’ head. There are also calls from Australia to behead him.
That is why the threats against academics, journalists and intellectuals about Islam are to be taken very seriously. After the Rushdie attack, Pakistani politicians demanded Wilders’ head.
Even at the televised debates, Wilders is strangely overdressed. Under his jacket she wears a black sweater. He serves to camouflage the bulletproof vest that the security service also makes him wear in TV studios. Someone could make an attempt on his life, a spectator in the audience, a lighting technician or a guard posted to secure him. That happened to the Russian ambassador in Ankara. A member of Wilders’ security was even arrested. And Wilders had to cancel the election campaign.
The government had to build him a special house that looks like a prison, with bomb-proof walls, shatterproof windows and cameras. A dozen bodyguards follow him everywhere. The police had to open a special office to handle all the threats coming from everywhere, from Iraq to Syria.
The New Statesman recounts: “Wilders lives in one or more government safe houses with bulletproof windows and panic rooms that are ‘safer than the national bank.’ He drives to work in an armored police vehicle. His steel-doored office is at the end of a labyrinthine corridor on the third floor of an isolated wing of the Binnenhof, the complex of ancient buildings in The Hague that houses Parliament. It is protected by multiple layers of security and access is severely restricted. ‘He lives in a safe,’ Ronald Sørensen, a former PVV senator, told me. He adds that even taking photographs showing the inside of the office is prohibited, lest they reveal his whereabouts.”
Wilders is protected every day by an army unit as we only see in countries like Iraq and Afghanistan.
Because we are in the country where the Blossom Books publishing house has just removed Mohammed from Dante’s Inferno, from which Ayaan Hirsi Ali has left to live in the United States where she is still under protection. This is where the Iranian artist Sooreh Hera had to exhibit in a museum in The Hague masks of Mohammed and Ali and was promised to “burn her alive” (thus canceling the exhibition) and where the cartoonist Gregorius Nekschot, who published under a pseudonym, announced that he would no longer make irreverent drawings on Islam, too dangerous…
It all began twenty years ago, when the detailed plans to kill Wilders were found on the computer of the Islamist who slaughtered Theo van Gogh. Mohammed Bouyeri had it all planned out. That night intelligence came knocking on Wilders’ door in Venlo to take him away. He would never return. After changing cars a couple of times, Wilders was taken to a barracks in Bergen op Zoom.
Wilders recounts in his autobiography, Marked for Death:
“One Sunday morning in December we had been taken to an army barracks. Suddenly the siren went off. The guards grabbed their machine guns and ran to their positions. One of the guards ran out of the shower, grabbed his pistol and he fell, naked and soaking wet, to take up a position on the roof. It was freezing cold. Other guards positioned themselves in front of our door, yelling at us to stay inside. It was a scary experience, but a false alarm.
“During this time, I and my wife were not allowed to have visitors: neither family, nor friends, nor colleagues. When the cleaners came, we had to leave so they would not see us. I also lived in a small wooden house near the runway of the base military of Soesterberg.From there we were taken to a prison in Hamp Zeist, having been informed that a prison was one of the safest places for us. The guards took me to Parliament every morning and we returned every evening. Every morning at 7:00, including weekends, the lights would automatically turn on in our cell. This is where, in 1999-2001, two Libyans went on trial for blowing up Pan Am Flight 103 over the Scottish village of Lockerbie in 1988, killing 270 people. When will we be able to resume a normal life without the fear of a murderer showing up at our door?”.
Wilders sees his wife two, three times a week. He even had to disguise himself so as not to be recognized by the neighbors. He wig, glasses and mustache. “I remember well that it was very itchy, because then I went to the House and I had to remove my mustache and then you could still see those red spots during the debates from the acetone with which I cleaned the glue”.
When I met him in The Hague, Wilders had his office at the highest point of Parliament. He hadn’t been chosen at random. It can be reached from only one direction, making it easier for the escort to intervene. Anyone who wants to meet Wilders in Parliament must go through an X-ray machine, two checkpoints and bodyguards in front of the office. The window is bullet proof. Parliament also had to relocate it inside the chamber in a point not visible to the public, to better protect it. Even his feathers are being searched for ordnance. The Dutch airline KLM refused to put him on a flight to Moscow due to security threats.
Even at the cartoon rally in Texas, where two ISIS terrorists opened fire, Wilders had a heavily armed Swat team with him. If he goes to the European Parliament, the site becomes a “sterilized zone”, like the airport gates. The agents protecting him block accesses to elevators and corridors to let him pass. His entourage is anonymous: too dangerous. When the alert level goes up, Wilders doesn’t know where he’s going to spend the night, they just take him away. Even when he is visiting his Hungarian wife’s family in Budapest, Krisztina Marfai, “safe houses” are ready for him in case of an emergency.
Jihadist sites offer lavish rewards for those who will manage to kill him, including 72 virgins and rivers of milk and honey.
When Wilders appears in public, his escort must “clear” the area before he can enter. When he goes to the movies, the back rows are all booked for him and the guards. Wilders arrives after the movie has started and leaves before it ends. The cost of protecting the PVV leader has never been revealed, but tens of millions of euros are thought to have been spent over twenty years. And there seems to be no end in sight for the most protected man in the world after the president of the United States and the premier of Israel.
This is freedom today in Europe to the test of Islam. Many have died. Many just “disappeared”. Many gave up out of fear and trials (Michel Houellebecq last). Others were hit thirty years after the first threats. And anyone who stammers otherwise is in bad faith, an accomplice or very dense.
