Fatmir H. came to Germany as an asylum seeker; in March 2017, he exited a Düsseldorf train in Germany and, brandishing an axe, attacked nine people. Police have described Fatmir as "mentally ill", so the conversation has not moved to immigration and remains in the murky area of mental health awareness. But the conversation should move to immigration. And this is why:
As usual, the first thing to consider is what the press is not telling us. Most media sources say that Fatmir is "from Wuppertal", a city in Germany. Other sources mention that Fatmir is originally from the "former Yugoslavia", which is more accurate, because Fatmir is originally from Kosovo. While indeed a tiny part of "former Yugoslavia", Kosovo is an independent country, established in 2008, one year before Fatmir came to Germany. What that means is there is probably some German immigration office record filed away that indicates Fatmir is from "Kosovo" - because "former Yugoslavia" is not a country.
So why are we not being told that Fatmir is from Kosovo? Well, perhaps one reason is that Kosovo is overwhelmingly Muslim, and educated people know this. The press might be trying to control the public's reaction so that it does not have political consequences, just as it was told to do.
Looking past the "hidden Muslim" issue, the other point to consider is the date of Fatmir's arrival in Germany. 2009 was well before Chancellor Merkel began issuing migrants free travel and housing accommodation with or without naturalization. That is important to be aware of, because nothing is being said about the origins of the second assailant, who attacked an 80 year-old man just a few hours later. The press is in fact silent, leading to speculation that the man a) shouted something "Islamic" or b) unlike Fatmir, was from the more recent wave of migrants, which would really infuriate the German people because that man would be getting endless free things on the backs of the German taxpayers. Either possibility would be particularly damning to the establishment, especially in an election year, and would shift the conversation to immigration policy, in general.
It is becoming increasingly clear that the public has no protection from asylum-seeking attackers - or from this state, which sacrifices members of the public to protect its political interests and those very same asylum-seekers. Apparently, the German state belongs to axe-men.
'The Axe-Man', a parody of "Taxman" by the Beatles (the real Beatles, not the terrorist group):
"Let me tell you how it will be
Your fatherland belongs to me
Cause I'm the axeman, yeah, I'm the axeman"
"Free pre-scrip-tion's filled too slow
The only German that I know
'Cause I'm the axeman, yeah I'm the axeman"
"Go work for it, I'll take my share,
Don’t touch my gifts, cuz that's unfair.
If you start to squawk, I’ll scream Nazi
You have the wrong ethnicityyyy."
"Don't ask me what you’re paying for
It's still that dumb for-saken war.
'Cause I'm the axeman, yeah, I'm the axeman"
"So sorry if it hurts inside
Your country wants you all to die.
'Cause I'm the axeman, yeah, I'm the axeman
And you're building a future for me."
