News:
On Friday at around 9:40 p.m. a man stabbed several attendees at a ‘Festival of Diversity’ (‘Festival der Vielfalt’) in Solingen, Germany. The perpetrator, who according to some witnesses “looked like an Arab,” is still at large as of Saturday morning, Bild reports. The police have urged the public not to speculate about the knifeman’s identity or motives and have not yet issued a description of the perpetrator. The police have appealed for information, including photos and videos, to be uploaded via the police information portal.This is so outrageous that it sounds like a joke.“According to current information, three people were killed and eight injured, five of them seriously, in the attack,” the police in Düsseldorf said in a press release on Saturday morning.
Following the deadly attack, the police union chief called on the public to refrain from speculation about the motive and origin of the perpetrator, especially on social media.
“Speculation about the crime in Solingen is forbidden. I appeal to everyone, especially to users of social media, to refrain from spreading rumors,” said the North Rhine-Westphalia head of the police union, Michael Mertens. “I am concerned that speculation is currently being spread via social networks.”
Why refrain from speculation? The people have a right to know what is going on. Even more, the people have a right to deport the foreign criminals.
