From Germany, Baden-Württemberg, the land of Swabians, funny dialect.
(and yep, Herr Gottlieb Daimler invented here the first automobile (1886), Herr Wilhelm Maybach cooperated, Ferdinand Graf von Zeppelin invented, well, Zeppelin (patented 1898), Johann Christoph Friedrich von Schiller and his poetry are of this land (late 18th century), Albert Einstein was born here (in Ulm, with its marvelous gothic Münster, the tallest church in the world, built over the years 1380 up to 1890), ... , and on a lighter note, Herr Boris Becker and Frau Steffi Graf are also from Swabia.)
Fast forward, zoom in — presser held here, right now :
... ja, 17 Jahre, a kid.
... nein, nein - not Syrian, Afghan.
... yep, here in Würzburg.
... yup, arrived a year ago, exactly.
... no, no, no - best care, center for juveniles, recently embedded in a Pflegefamilie, foster family.
... yeah, good prospects for apprenticeship.
... no no, very calm, balanced.
... well.. we assume radicalization, rapid radicalization.
... yes yes - within days, maybe just hours.
(... local train, toilet door opens, he arrives — ax and knife in hands — and Allah leads him to the first comer, a Chinese family on tour here in Germany, and Allah lets the ax and knife do His will, and makes the ax operator yell allahuaqbar, five people (those Chinese) wounded - four of them critically, train is emergency stopped, guy flees, attacks a passerby woman, next attacks policemen - they shoot him, in self-defense) (ISIS claims - already authenticated - the "victory")
... no no no no no, no ! _it was a politisch motivierte Tat, a politically motivated act, you see.
