Among the perpetrators of violence in Düsseldorf’s nightlife are mainly aggressive, alcoholic men with a migration background. This was confirmed by North Rhine-Westphalia’s Interior Minister Herbert Reul ( Christian Democratic Union, CDU) speaking to the Interior Committee of the state parliament on Thursday. “Among the revellers there are regularly larger groups with a high potential for aggression. Often male, often with a migration background.”
Often the perpetrators are already known to the police because of previous violent offences.”These are people who can cause trouble. A mistaken statement, a misunderstanding can sometimes lead to a blackout.” Often groups with excessive drinking incite each other.
“These are spirals of escalation that can only be de-escalated by a massive police presence.” The Minister of the Interior listed various measures that would now be taken to bring the situation in Düsseldorf’s Old Town under control. Among other things, he counted more comprehensive illumination of the banks of the Rhine and improved prevention work. However, Reul said, “There is no one solution to this problem.” Previously, Düsseldorf’s mayor Stephan Keller ( Christian Democratic Union, CDU) had brought up the idea of a no-weapons zone in Düsseldorf’s old town.
Düsseldorf has recently been the scene of repeated acts of violence at night. A week ago, a 19-year-old died in an altercation in the Old Town. Last weekend, a 17-year-old barely survived a knife attack.
Gee… most of the violent offenders are Muslims…
“Nein schiße, Sherlöckenegger!”
