The Founding Fathers had it right. You can’t clamp down on evil hard enough to stop it. you can only free the good to be able to act.

Language is important here… the distinction that she and the rats, and their complicit media are saying is that eradicating Hamas after Oct 7 isnt considered Israel defending itself.

Just what the Swiss have been waiting for. How long before they come stampeding across the border with their Army knives?

Band aid solution. Their moslem problem is only going to get worse and demographics do not favor the krauts.

She said the government would ban the carrying of knives at public events including street festivals like the scene of the Solingen attack, and on long-distance public transportation such as trains and buses.

It's not going to work any better than gun laws because those committing those kinds of crime don't care about the laws.

All it will do is further disarm the general public, leaving them even m ore vulnerable than ever to the attackers.

Enforce the laws you have already.

Bring back the death penalty for murder. There's far less room for doubt when there are surveillance devices everywhere and people have cell phones.

But will it work?

No.

Making a knife is so easy a caveman could and did do it.

It seems that Muslims are devoid of empathy for others, and even in their own families. You know, "honor killings". In this way, I don't consider Muslims to be fully human in the way a Westerner understands the meaning of "to be human". They are rabid animals which should be put down.

From an American living in Wiesbaden, Germany....this was the first city to force a weapons-zone (probably 5 years now). The key here....for evening hours in the zones...the cops have total freedom to stop you on the street, demand an ID and frisk you. Got a knife? Your fine within the zone could go up to 5,000 Euro after meeting the judge. Odds of finding drugs? That adds to your woes.

Whole strategy revolves around the cops doing these frisk operations on seriously high level, and judges handing you a significant fine.

And it is kind of ironic, since Solingen has been the ‘cutlery and edged weapon production center’ for Germany. for a thousand years, and one of the most famous in the world.

Three days before key state elections in which each of the ruling parties risk heavy losses to the far right

For over a decade, German girls have been coerced into converting to Islam to escape an epidemic of rape warfare perpetrated against them by muslim migrants. But it wasn't until “The Solingen attack shook us to our core" that government ministers finally became afraid of losing their grip on their political power. They should all resign.

That is a wonderful truth. Nicely done. The founders knew the evil of central power and evil individuals. Now we are here- exactly where they told us centralized power would take place. Ensuring we have peaceable and quiet lives are the only Biblical authorities given to government by God.
I almost said taxes- then I remember the Boston Tea Party.
The videos Okeefe Media Group put out about the sex trafficking of Children in San Diego is horrendous. There is a significant population of military retirees in San Diego- yet everyone there is turning a blind eye.
Just like the death camp trains and the abusive slavery of our past.
Its hard for me to understand why no one cares. Military retires people around 40- so they can’t say they are unable. They are just unwilling.
This country is the number one reason kidnapping and sex trafficking occurs around the world.

I guess, banning knives is in the working.

But, apparently, people are getting killed by kicks and slams.

Maybe, they should start preventively amputate legs and arms.

The way to take care of these immigrant crimes is eliminate the immigrants. It’s amazing how stupid governments are in solving problems. If the sun’s in their eyes theyd spend trillions figuring out a plan to move the sun vice turning around or pulling the shades down.

Just another reason the judgment of God is going to fall on this country.
