Suspect arrested after 8 hurt in Munich knife rampage
Here in the USA we mostly have problems with the feral drug gangs in the inner city. About 70% of our violent crime and murder is directly due to drugs gangbangers killing each other for money, turf, vengeance, or reputation/street cred. Just as legalizing prohibited alcohol caused organized crime violence to fall, so would legalizing drugs cause violent crime, and homicide to drop. If the US were to do this, it is clear we would have violent crime and murder rates lower than most countries. It would create other problems, but as we've seen with the legalization of alcohol those are addressable through medical and social intervention. In Germany and other nations which have eliminated much gun ownership, the knife and the vehicle are becoming the weapon of choice. The more organized attackers use machine guns, hand grenades and military bombs and weapons. I expect this only to increase. How soon before a mass shooting occurs immediately after the mortar shelling of an outside entertainment venue? Islamists waiting near the exits could use machine gun fire to great effect since the following hoard fleeing the mortar blasts would be unable to hear the machine gun fire ahead. Yeah, that'll never happen ... until it does. "A knife-wielding man randomly attacked passersby in central Munich on Saturday (Oct 21), lightly injuring eight people, police said as they excluded terrorism as a motive after detaining the suspected perpetrator. The 33-year-old suspect already has a police record for theft and violence and appears to suffer from “psychiatric problems”, Munich police chief Hubertus Andrae told a news conference." Do we reinstitutionalize all of the potentially insane or not? How do we deal with this problem? Concealed carry has been a valuable mechanism to reduce crime or stop crime like this from continuing. Or the Germans could hire and dispatch more police. The problem is police are always found to be more criminally inclined than the concealed carry license holders. So, more police means more crime, whereas more concealed carry means less crime. But concealed carry means the progressives and socialist are thwarted in their attempts to disarm the populace. Bummer!
