Multiple people were killed and several more injured in a knife attack on Friday at a festival in the city of Solingen in western Germany, according to German police. Düsseldorf police spokesperson Anja Kynast told CBS News that at least three people were killed and four others wounded in the attack. Solingen is located roughly 18 miles from Düsseldorf.

Witnesses alerted police shortly after 9.30 p.m. local time to an unknown perpetrator having wounded several people with a knife on a central square, the Fronhof. Police said that the perpetrator was on the run, and that they so far had only very thin information on the assailant.

They said they believe the stabbings were carried out by a lone attacker...

Germany mass stabbing: three killed and four seriously injured at diversity festival

Most of those wounded are believed to have been attacked directly front of the stage, the daily Bild reported, adding that the man appeared to target the throats of his victims.

Well probably the most appropriate setting for a knife attack in Germany would be Solingen.

From the 'Independent':

The Festival of Diversity, marking the city's 650th anniversary, began on Friday and was supposed to run through until Sunday, with several stages in central streets offering attractions such as live music, cabaret and acrobatics."

The irony.

The Festival of Diversity,

---

Don’t forget kids, diversity is our strength! But to quote an American general, “And as horrific as this tragedy was, if our diversity becomes a casualty, I think that’s worse,”

I've never forgotten this picture. 15 years ago when a muzzie madman mass murdered 14 people at Fort Hood. And this officer was comforting a greif sticken wife. 

And when I see reports like this that Diversity has killed again - I think of this pic.

For many of them (not all) this butchering is the highest form of “worship” they could never do for their deity.
Yes, it sure does sound twisted.
