The son of former German President Richard von Weizaecker was killed during a lecture on Tuesday evening after an audience member brutally attacked him with a knife, police said.

Dr. Fritz von Weizsaecker, 59, was presenting a lecture about fatty liver disease at the Schlosspark-Klinik medical clinic where he worked in Berlin when police say a 57-year-old German man jumped up from the audience and attacked him with a knife.

Authorities have not released the identity or motive of the suspect, who remains in police custody, but did add that he was not a patient at the hospital.

Von Weizaecker was the son of one of Germany’s most esteemed presidents, Richard von Weizsaecker, who became West Germany’s head of state in 1984 and, when the country was unified, became the first president of the new nation serving until 1994.

Obviously the attacker should have been a patient in the hospital. .

Mackie Messer?

Und es sind des Haifischs Flossen
Rot, wenn dieser Blut vergießt
Mackie Messer trägt ‘nen Handschuh
Drauf man keine Untat liest

Look on the bright side.

At least it happened near a doctor.

Maybe he was trying to use the knife to remove the fat from the liver.

No doubt a Muslim piece of sh*t that their idiot leader let into the country. This is usually what it is when they won't release the name or identity. They try to get away with calling these people "German" or a citizen of whatever country they are in, but usually they are a Muslim import with no resemblance to a native whatsoever.

Any insights on this?

Look on the bright side.

It wasn’t “gun violence”.

I am sure the family is very relieved...not!

Everyone has it backwards. Psychiatric treatment first, then insanity and violence.
