1/ Another story from Germany's broken, collapsing immigration and criminal-justice systems: Suleiman A. arrived with 700,000 other young males in 2015 with no background or security checks.
2/ hitradio-ohr.de/moerder-des-of… He had no papers, and claimed variously to be from Djibouti or Somalia.
3/ In 2017, his asylum application was denied, but Germany's overwhelmed immigration system could not deport him, so he was granted "subsidiary protection" as a bureaucratic stopgap (this happened with hundreds of thousands of other illegal immigrants).
4/ In August 2018, Suleiman A. visited his doctor. He then took out a knife and began stabbing the doctor in the throat and elsewhere. With the knife sticking out of his belly, the doctor crawled to the door of the examination room, but died.
5/ The doctor was eventually stabbed 20 times total. swp.de/lokales/mord-a… A nurse came to try to rescue the doctor and was also gravely injured but survived. Suleiman left the doctor's office covered in blood, and left a trail of blood for several streets.
6/ As happens routinely in these sorts of cases, Suleiman was declared not guilty by reason of insanity and sent to a mental hospital. Just four years later, he has now been granted the right to 3 hours of unsupervised freedom per day in Emmendingen, Germany.
7/ The only conditions are that he must have a mobile phone with him and must submit to drug tests.
8/ It's virtually certain he will be allowed to stay in Germany forever, since he has refused to cooperate in getting identity papers and African countries often refuse to accept deportees who murdered people in Europe, for quite practical reasons.
9/ Who can blame them, when there are masochistic countries like Germany willing to pay to clothe, house, and feed murderers like Suleiman until the end of their lives?

1/ Lefty German journo Lukas Hermsmeier (@lukashermsmeier) has just written (yet another) New York Times opinion piece claiming Germany is facing a resurgence of the extreme right and not doing enough about it. nytimes.com/2023/02/08/opi…
2/ He starts out: "[J]ust two months ago, the authorities arrested 25 people for planning a radical right-wing coup to overthrow the German government." But then immediately admits: "The group’s ideas are bizarre and the plot had no serious chance of success."
3/ "And yet, he continues, "one might think that the unearthing of a heavily armed movement aiming at the elimination of the state would set off an intense discussion around nationalism and far-right violence."

1/ Thread: It's not just German energy policy which is broken. German immigration and asylum policy is also totally dysfunctional, as a recent high-profile mass murder shows. welt.de/vermischtes/kr…
2/ On January 25th, a man stabbed a 17-year-old girl and her 19-year-old companion to death on a regional train from Kiel to Hamburg. Seven other people were wounded, some of them with life-threatening injuries.
3/ The man, identified as Ibrahim A., is a "stateless" Palestinian who entered Germany in 2015 as an asylum-seeker, doubtless just one of the hundreds of thousands of young Middle Eastern and North African males who streamed across the German border with no background checks or…

1/ So, I'm a US lawyer and journalist working on a very long piece about the Motion to Vacate in the Syed case and I've got a couple of genuinely 100% sincere questions for @TheViewFromLL2 and @EvidenceProf.
2/ On November 1, 2022, the Baltimore Banner published this piece: thebaltimorebanner.com/community/crim…

Mosby and Feldman seem to interpret this note as indicating that "Mr. B.", as we will call him, *himself* threatened Hae Min Lee.
3/ They also noted that Mr. B had a record for sexual assault (although they didn't mention it was of males). Urick, by implication, says that the note reflects that Adnan threatened Lee.

1/ In case you're wondering why so many Germans are terrified of nuclear energy, it's because the German media and some politicians have consistently published misleading information on the technology, including gross exaggerations of the harm caused by Chernobyl and Fukushima.
2/ The German Green Party, for example, had to officially apologize after it tweeted, on the anniversary of Fukushima, that the *nuclear accident* had killed tens of thousands of people.
3/ In fact, it was the giant tsunami and hurried evacuation which cause these deaths, not radiation. Incredibly, a German public broadcast just repeated this absurd claim.

1/ As I've noted before, Germany has is stuck with its current leaders, even though the coalition has lost majority support. The reason: German center-right parties are still following a policy of absolute non-cooperation with the populist-right AfD dawum.de/AfD/
2/ Overall the AfD gets about 13-15% of the vote, with much more in the East. Since the center-right parties only get about 35% of the vote, they have no hope of forming a ruling coalition without the AfD, and they are still 100% committed to the AfD freeze-out.
3/ This means they can only form a government, if at all, in coalition with the Greens or the Social Democrats, both of whom are 100% committed to eliminating nuclear power and banning all fossil fuel extraction, including gas, within Germany.

1/ People sometimes ask me why German industry & industrial unions haven't put pressure on the government to lower energy prices. The short answer is below: German union chief says Germany *and* Europe need to create an "industrial policy" to prevent firms leaving. Image
2/ Decoded, what this means is that Germany should keep spending yet more billions of Euros (which it doesn't have) subsidizing domestic firms to prevent them from relocating to lower-cost countries -- or perhaps pass laws forcing them to stay.
3/ If your strategy is to beg political leaders for money and protection, the last thing you want to do is criticize them. So corporate leaders and even lobbyists eagerly signal their approval of transitioning Germany to "sustainable, green" energy, echoing the government's line.
