A few hours after yesterday’s attack in Mannheim, a video of a Muslim woman went online. Presumably still assuming that the attack was yet another case of ‘Allahu akbar’ terror, the woman comments on the deadly attack in Mannheim, in which at least two people died and many were seriously injured.
She shows no compassion and instead claims that this is Allah’s punishment for us evil Germans. – says Naomi Seibt in her tweet of the day:
🚨🇩🇪 MANNHEIM: “MAY ALLAH’s CURSE BE UPON YOU”‼️

The post is only really understandable if you assume that the female author – like almost everyone else – thought the car attack was an act of terrorism motivated by Muslims. We now know more. Tichys Einblick has summarised the current state of affairs:
As RTL.de and SPIEGEL report, citing insider sources, the perpetrator is said to be Alexander S. This coincides with the information announced by the Interior Minister of North Rhine-Westphalia, Herbert Reul. He reported that the perpetrator was a 40-year-old German. As RTL reports, Alexander S. is said to have suffered from severe mental health problems as early as 2024.
Alexander S. is also said to have been known to the police since 2018. This is said to involve drunk driving and displaying anti-constitutional symbols. However, there was no further contact with the police after 2018.
A social media profile identified by TE as probable does not show any evidence of any kind of radical mindset. He posted little, most recently in 2021. Another, possibly more recent profile on another social medium is private, i.e. not publicly visible.
It was reported on X that the perpetrator was a German named A.; a photo of ID documents allegedly found at the crime scene was also passed around. The police explicitly denied it: he was not the suspect. – that’s the story of Tichys.

But if you take a closer look at Alexander S.’s Facebook profile, you will discover that he was a radical leftist: Alexander Scheuermann was politically left-wing. He commented on a video on Facebook with ‘Saugeil’, in which a street artist painted over right-wing extremist symbols.
Alexander Scheuermann war politisch links.

Er kommentiere auf Facebook ein Video mit „Saugeil“, in dem ein Straßenkünstler rechtsextreme Symbole mit Essen übermalte.
Dass er einen rechtsextremen Kommentar abgegeben haben soll, kann nur Fake News sein.#Mannheim pic.twitter.com/6c4x1eZn20
