At the very spot where almost exactly two years ago a Somali killed three people in a gruesome way, there was another knife attack by a 26-year-old in the Franconian city of Würzburg yesterday.
After the courageous intervention of a shopkeeper, the police were able to arrest the man with a knife in his hand: “The 26-year-old was standing in front of a department store on Friday and made a psychologically stressed impression,” the police reported. No people were injured in the incident. According to the police, the officers had to use pepper spray during the arrest. The reasons for the man’s behaviour remained unclear at first.”
At the very place where yesterday’s events took place, Würzburg’s Union mayor had inaugurated a memorial for the people who were victims of a knife attack by a “protection-seeking” Somali in 2021.
Just a few days ago, I noted the following: This barely noticeable, sloppy commemoration suits the context: Würzburg still advertises itself as a “safe haven” for illegal migration. And thus lays the foundations for the guaranteed continuation of the horror, especially in Würzburg, which otherwise appears so peaceful and bourgeois.
