Hurensohn.
right into a verdi (worker union) demonstration according to other news sources
But the fucking thing will be used by the populists again for sure
The fact he targeted a workers union, and not an AfD rally, shows just how fucked humanity is.
Almost like we're talking chimps who aren't designed for science or civilization.
Who is they?
Several people hurt in stabbing in Mannheim, Germany, police say https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=J3W3T8K9xl0
who did this again?
There were 1136 violent crimes perpetrated by right-wing extremists in Germany in 2024. Just because the media doesn't like to report on it doesn't make it less true.
Islamic extremism is a problem. It pales in comparison to right-wing, homegrown extremism.
They can disagree all they like, the numbers don't lie. Besides, these far right parties do not command majorities. AfD is at 20% (which actually is comparatively low compared to other countries).
The media likes to greatly magnify these events. Right-wing violence is orders of magnitude greater than Islamic violence is in Germany, but the media isn't putting every attack on the front page.
Polls barely moved after the last attacks. Geert Wilders did not "outright win" the election, he got 25% of the vote but was forced to abandon most of his anti-Islam rhetoric at the negotiation table, and even had to concede the position of PM to a bureaucrat formerly from the labour party. He's in a somewhat unstable coalition with three other parties which would lose their majority if elections were held today, and he doesn't have a majority in the senate.

Most lethal recent one was perpetrated by an AfD fanboy.
But they mostly had to station permanent police protection near mosques, synagogues and politicians from parties that aren't the AfD. Still over 1300 attacks last year alone.
You didn't answer the question, who is "they"?
Who is leading most categories of politically motivated crimes in Germany? Why is reporting about those crimes so underrepresented?

Men did this. Guess we should kill or exile all men. Clearly the actions of these men are indicative of all men.
Well all of the perpetrators here are men. Maybe we should exile all men?
Has nothing to do with being german. Men are violent perpetrators all over the world. Why do you concentrate on immigrants, when men are the problem?
Not clicking any of your links lmao it's probably more violent men. Seems you have a thing for that.
Well it won't solve the problem of violent men at all.
Weird how you are ignoring the thousands of violent crimes comitted by rightwing german men. Wonder why that is!
Let's see what statistics say.

On page 10 we can see that 11.2% of "crimes against life" (I suppose this means murder and maybe attempted murder) were committed by migrants.
https://www.destatis.de/DE/Themen/Gesellschaft-Umwelt/Bevoelkerung/Migration-Integration/_inhalt.html
About a quarter of people living in Germany are migrants.
If I didn't have a brainfart, this would mean that every German is twice as likely to be a killer compared to immigrants.
Already happening
Yeah, it's truly terrible that if there are cases like these that almost always already had to leave the country or had some major mental health issue get used to be racist against other immigrants and asylum seekers instead of improving the immigration and integration procedure
I tried, but didn't achieve to understand your post.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I think Bavaria is basically Germany's Texas too...
In some ways, yeah but not as bad
Bavaria is the richest part of Germany.
