ER Editor: This follows on from a stabbing in Solingen, Germany six days ago. The suspect, a 26 year old Syrian refugee who had previously been turned down for asylum, apparently turned himself in later. See this initial report by RT —
Three dead after stabbing attack at ‘Diversity Festival’ in Germany
Three people were killed and eight more were seriously wounded during a stabbing spree at the Festival of Diversity in the German city of Solingen on Friday evening, police said. The sole suspect remains at large.
According to eyewitnesses, the perpetrator started attacking people at random at around 9:45pm local time at Solingen’s Fronhof Square, where many had arrived to celebrate the city’s 650th anniversary.
Police have declared a manhunt for the suspect, who had fled the scene. “We currently have no information about his whereabouts,” a police spokesman said.
According to Bild, eyewitnesses described the perpetrator as “an Arab-looking man.”
Geography reminder, Solingen —
Three days ago, Olaf Scholz gave a pretty firm response to this attack. See this from the BBC —
Scholz vows to speed up deportations after Solingen stabbings
Irregular migration into Germany “must go down” after a Syrian man who came to Germany as an asylum seeker was charged with killing three people in an attack in the western town of Solingen last week, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has said.
“This was terrorism, terrorism against us all,” Mr Scholz said during a visit to Solingen on Monday.
Mr Scholz also said his government would have to do “everything we can to ensure that those who cannot and should not stay here in Germany are repatriated and deported” and that deportations would be sped up if necessary.
He also promised to tighten laws on weapons ownership “very quickly”.
The political ramifications of the tragedy started reverberating across Germany as soon as officials confirmed the suspect in Friday’s deadly stabbings was a Syrian refugee. (ER: Shades of Southport on July 29, leading to country-wide protests?)
The alleged attacker – named as 26-year-old Issa Al H. – is suspected of links to the terror organisation Islamic State.
An already heated debate about migration has become even more ferocious.
A day after the attacks, conservative opposition leader Friedrich Merz demanded an end to taking in refugees from Syria and Afghanistan and called for controls on all of Germany’s borders.
Alice Weidel, leader of the far right Alternative for Germany (AfD), has gone a step further and wants a complete stop to all migration.
…
But this latest attack may have a huge political impact. (ER: Indeed. Elections are coming up in Saxony and Thuringia to the east on September 1 where the AfD are popular.)
Are we seeing a developing pattern here? UK Home Secretary Yvette Cooper said a similar thing six days ago, following a few weeks of rioting in many UK cities —
UK announces crackdown on illegal immigration
A Syrian refugee, allegedly with terrorist links, stabs people at a ‘Festival of Diversity‘. Seriously, what are the odds?

ER: We know that immigrants come from a range of countries and backgrounds, some of whom are Muslim. We also know that it is part of the Zionist agenda to bring in lots of Muslims and then fingerpoint at them when predictable problems start. This is why we publish infrequently from Remix News. That and its tendency NEVER to report anything useful about Russia despite Russia’s role in representing more traditional European values.

“The Immigration Crisis Is First & Foremost A Crime Crisis” – Police Union Boss Warns Germany No Longer Safe
In what is increasingly becoming a PR disaster for the far-left German government, the terror knife attack in Solingen, perpetrated by a Syrian national, is highlighting the unavoidable connection between immigration and exploding crime and violence.
In the wake of the attack, German police union (DPoIG) chairman Manuel Ostermann slammed the status quo, called the immigration problems a crime problem, and said Islam was the greatest threat to the country in terms of security.

“Yes, our country has changed. Nothing about it is positive. Germany is no longer a safe country. We have a massive problem with knife crime. The migration crisis is first and foremost a crime crisis. And the greatest danger to life and limb of people living in Germany is clearly posed by Islamists. This reality can no longer be ignored or tabooed. Now is the time to recognize reality and implement clear measures in the constitutional fight against precisely this security policy madness,” Ostermann said in a video statement.
As the leader of the second-largest police union in Germany, with nearly 100,000 members, his words carry extra weight with the public and police forces who have to deal with Germany’s surging insecurity.
In an interview, he said that politicians often deliver empty phrases following such attacks, and Solingen was no different. He noted that the Islamist terror attack in Mannheim, which resulted in a police officer’s death showed, there is little concern for what officers have to face.
“It is incomprehensible that budgetary resources for the police are being cut while the threat level is increasing,” Ostermann told Apollo News.
🇩🇪‼️ NEW: After a Syrian migrant killed 3 at the Festival of Diversity in Solingen, now the German far-left government is talking about what amounts to essentially banning knives.
The problem?

According to Ostermann, asylum policy is failing. The trade unionist said there is a lack of deportation detention centers, bureaucratic insanity, and a lack of action from politicians. The fact that most deportations fail “speaks volumes,” he said.
Ostermann’s stance is a sharp repudiation of Interior Minister Nancy Faeser’s claims for years that the far right is the country’s biggest extremism threat, despite ample evidence showing otherwise. Now, with record violent crime levels in Germany, record amounts of foreigners committing crimes, an Islamic extremist knife attacker in Mannheim who killed a police officer earlier this year, and the latest attack in Solingen during the Festival of Diversity that killed three, her claims are looking more and more ludicrous.
Meanwhile, Social Democrat (SPD) leader Saskia Esken claimed in response to the Solingen massacre that “I don’t think we can learn much from this attack.”

Notably, the Syrian national responsible was ordered to be deported in 2022 but went into hiding. After reappearing six months later, he was granted protected status.
