Last Saturday at around 00:45, two men (26,28) were out and about in Maximilianstraße in Augsburg. There they were insulted by a group of adolescents – a scuffle ensued. The group of men beat both men to the ground and continued to kick them – including ‘in the upper body and head area’, according to the police. The perpetrators then fled. However, an immediate manhunt was able to track down and arrest two suspects ( aged 22, 23) – both had an alcohol level of more than 1.2 per mille.
In an interview with the local newspaper, a victim of the current offence reported that he had feared for his life while the perpetrators were kicking him while he was lying on the ground. They are said to have insulted the victim as a ‘faggot’.
However, Halid S. is not among the suspects who were arrested that night (and have since been released). According to the newspaper, he is said to have gone into hiding. S. has German, Turkish and Lebanese citizenship.
Both victims were treated at Augsburg University Hospital during the night – initially with intensive care. The findings: concussions, bruises to the head, shoulder, back and chest as well as injuries to the face.
The newspaper Augsburger Allgemeine now reports that the motive is said to be hatred of gays. And one of the suspects is already a convicted violent offender – the then 17-year-old Halid S. is said to have beaten the then 49-year-old firefighter Roland S. to death on Königsplatz in Augsburg in December 2019. Halid S. had previously attracted attention for drug and assault offences. In November 2020, he was sentenced to four years and six months in prison by the Augsburg Regional Court for assault resulting in death. He had therefore only been at large again for a few months.
Four years and six months in prison for murder? He should’ve been given 25 years to life in prison. No wonder Muslim crime is rampant throughout Europe. I slap on the wrist. “Be a good boy and don’t do it again.”
