[Germany] Car driven into crowd in Mannheim


" The driver is a 40-year-old German from the nearby state of Rhineland-Palatinate, said Thomas Strobl, the state interior minister of Baden-Wurttemberg, where Mannheim is based. He confirmed that two people died and that “several others are seriously injured”."


"Summary

  • Car's driver arrested, police say
  • No indications of religious or political motivation
  • Suspect a German man who may have been psychologically unwell
  • Germany on high alert for carnival season"
Some of ya'll need to climb down off those high horses, before you fall and hurt yourselves.

Just like Southport
 
Don't know why they're always trying to hide the identities of criminals and terrorists.

The thread has now gone too quiet since it was revealed the terrorist's name is Alexander and not a muslim invader :(


I accept some responsibility for quoting a feed that did not mention its connection to last month’s incident in full. I should have double-checked. I don't really follow these types of incidents. Far too many such incidents and public shootings. Not something to be comfortable with.

Earlier I read an article on the suspect in this incident, and it refers more times to the incident involving the Afghan than the subject of the headline. It is almost as crazy as the German who have been arrested for this crime. I see he tried to off himself with a blank when the police came hard knocking.
 

Mannheim car ramming attack suspect a German with history of mental illness, say investigators​

The suspected perpetrator in the car ramming attack which has killed at least two people in Mannheim on Monday is a 40-year-old German from Ludwigshafen with previous convictions related to drunk driving and right-wing hate speech.

A 40-year-old German from the state of Rhineland-Palatinate has been detained in relation to the car ramming attack on Monday, which killed at least two people and injured 10 others.

During a press conference on Monday night, investigators said that there were indications the suspect was mentally ill, with this being the focus of their investigation. He has now been charged with murder and attempted murder, according to Chief Public Prosecutor Romeo Schüssler.

The man has previous convictions, according to Schüssler, including one for drunk driving. He was also convicted of a hate speech-related crime in 2018 after he commented on a picture on Facebook, in what was adjudged to have been a politically motivated right-wing crime.

The suspected perpetrator was taken to hospital after shooting himself in the mouth with a blank gun, according to investigators. He is currently being treated and is in a stable condition.

I am curious what the hate speech crime was?
 
Weird...


Translated:

Alexander Scheuermann was politically left-wing.He commented on a video on Facebook with “Awesome” in which a street artist painted over right-wing extremist symbols with food.The fact that he is said to have made a right-wing extremist comment can only be fake news.

Obviously, I can't speak to the authenticity, but I see some have dug into his Facebook and other socials. He did not always seem like a mental case, as reported by the authorities.

Anyhow, there might be people putting a spin on it.
