Just your run of the mill knife attack

In Berlin. Every day now (they forget to mention the one in Berlin Steglitz this morning).

Knifeman on the run after Berlin tram passenger seriously injured in stabbing – The victim was attacked around 2.30am on the M2 tram at Karl-Liebknecht-Straße in the city’s Mitte district…

“Knife violence is a city-wide problem, and many young men in particular seem to have one in their pockets.”

What an original idea!

A Nazi salute. Ingenious!

In Berlin, too. I bet that one has never been tried before.

Anti-Musk protester temporarily arrested in Berlin for poster with Nazi salute – Authorities temporarily arrested a protester for displaying a poster that featured Elon Musk performing a Hitler salute alongside Nazi figures.

There’s just less and less demand these days…

To go to Brussels.

Who would want anything to do with the European Parliament industrial complex if could be avoided?

Off the rails: Night train from Berlin to Brussels will stop running at the end of March – Passengers can still travel between Berlin and Brussels on an overnight train using the European Sleeper.

European Sleeper is also a much more appropriate name, I find.

Sherlock himself

Must have figured this one out.

Syrian suspect in Berlin Holocaust Memorial stabbing wanted to kill Jews, investigators say – The suspect in a stabbing attack at Berlin’s Holocaust Memorial that seriously injured a Spanish tourist is a Syrian refugee who apparently wanted to kill Jews, investigators said Saturday.

The 19-year-old suspect was arrested on Friday evening, nearly three hours after the attack, when he approached officers with blood on his hands and clothes…

The suspect arrived in Germany in 2023 as an unaccompanied minor and successfully applied for asylum, investigators said. He lives in Leipzig.

You mean the attack on October 7th?

I couldn’t agree more, Tilda.

Tilda Swinton decries ‘internationally enabled mass murder’ at Berlin film festival – Actor speaks out against ‘the unacceptable complacency of our greed-addicted governments’ as she picks up a Golden Bear award for lifetime achievement.

Have a Happy New Year, Berliners!

Stay home and crawl under bed at midnight.

New Year’s Eve: Around 3,000 additional police officers on duty – In order to prevent New Year’s Eve riots and attacks on the emergency services as far as possible, the Berlin police largely rely on the concept from last year.

Same procedure as every year.
