Yvonne Kussmann wrote that 22-year-old student Marius Dick was stabbed on July 15, 2026, around 10 a.m. in Trier on a pedestrian path by 22-year-old Afghan Sajad M. After the act, Sajad M. was taken to a psychiatric clinic. There is a suspicion that he was incapable of culpability or had diminished culpability due to a mental illness, Kussmann wrote. Sajad M. had already been in a psychiatric clinic before. Despite repeated inquiries, the public prosecutor's office has not yet informed Kussmann whether he was committed at that time due to a danger to others. Marius's parents gave an interview to the Trier Volksfreund. Four weeks after the death of his son, the father suffered a heart attack and had to undergo surgery. He is currently in a rehab clinic and is supposed to come home on the weekend so that his wife and younger son are not alone. Kussmann wrote that Chancellor Merz called the parents shortly after the act because Marius’s mother was politically active in the CDU. The father reportedly urged Merz to immediately deport immigrants who had committed offenses to prevent further acts. This was a promise that Merz had made before the election. The father is now disappointed because, in his view, nothing has happened. He said that such acts could happen to anyone and accused the government of not protecting citizens. He said this would tear the CDU apart and could lead to other parties taking power. Germany is currently at a turning point, he also reportedly said. As of now, Sajad M. has not commented on the act. Kussmann wrote that she is looking forward to the trial with anticipation and fears it could end with an acquittal due to insanity and placement in overcrowded preventive detention. She announced that she would ask the public prosecutor's office again in the following week about the possible conclusion of the investigation and the status of the forensic psychiatric report. The interview can be found in the comments. #Trier #Gewalt #Justiz (translated)

Faces of War remembered the Bücherl family from Arnstein in the Upper Palatinate, who lost three sons at the Eastern Front. Hans fell in December 1942, his brother Zacharias on October 10, 1944, and Josef a few weeks later, on October 28, 1944. Hans was 17, Zacharias 18, and Josef 24 years old. In an excerpt of a poem, the account described the consecutive losses as further wounds and as sacrifices that had to be borne. With the hashtags #NeverAgainWar and #WeWillNotForget, he commemorated the brothers. #NieWiederKrieg #WirVergessenNicht #NieWiederKrieg #WirVergessenNicht #Opfer (translated)

Sparbuchfeinde described the case of a childless deceased brother, whose siblings inherited a paid-off house worth 800,000 euros and 50,000 euros in bank savings. He wrote that an inheritance tax of 249,000 euros would be due; the tax forces the heirs to sell the house instead of keeping it in the family. The tax exemption amounts to 20,000 euros, both among siblings and with strangers. Sparbuchfeinde argued that those who establish such rules see families as an enemy image. #Erbschaftsteuer #Familienpolitik #Finanzen (translated)

The author referred to October 7 as the worst pogrom since the Holocaust. He wrote that Hamas and Palestinian terrorists had killed more than 1,200 people and kidnapped and tortured over 200. Among the victims were women, children, babies, fathers, brothers, sisters, and parents. #Pogrom #Gedenken #Frieden #IL #PS (translated)

Hasnain Kazim remembered the third anniversary of the Hamas attack on Israel on October 7, 2023. At that time, he arrived by bicycle in Heidelberg and heard discussions about the attack in the marketplace. The terror had strengthened his resolve to stand against extremism. He described the attack as the largest mass murder of Jews since the Holocaust. Kazim wrote that religiously justified restrictions and violence had occupied him since childhood. He had experienced, among other things, the outrage over a joke by Rudi Carrell about Khomeini, the persecution of Salman Rushdie, and the deaths of more than a dozen acquaintances, friends, and colleagues at the hands of Islamist extremists. He had also found statements that praised Hitler or Osama bin Laden to be profoundly unbearable. Since October 7, 2023, he has observed that Hamas terrorists are celebrated in Germany as well. In Berlin-Neukölln, people distributed candies after the massacre. Kazim also criticized the fact that some young people appeared with keffiyehs and pro-Palestinian slogans without understanding their political and historical significance. He wrote that Hamas fighters and bin Laden are portrayed on TikTok as representatives of the oppressed or as opponents of capitalism. At the same time, Kazim warned of extremists demanding mass "remigration" and threatening people who appeared foreign or Muslim to them. He accused the political center of not rejecting Islamism and the glorification of terror decisively enough and of ceding the political space to others. He did not want to live in a society where extremists set the tone, nor in one where Sharia law prevailed and religious authorities dictated people's lives. Kazim also referred to the vulnerability of people who could be identified as Jewish, as well as the need for protection for restaurants, kindergartens, schools, places of worship, and diplomatic missions. This was neither resistance nor criticism of the Israeli government, he wrote. In conclusion, he commemorated the victims of October 7, wished healing and peace for the injured, and called for the defeat of the terrorists. #Terrorismus #Extremismus #Frieden (translated)

Frieda Melzen from Dellstedt in the district of Dithmarschen had a radio repaired in 1944, which her brother had received. She heard news about the war situation via foreign radio stations and told the villagers about it the next day, after which she was denounced. The People's Court sentenced her to death for undermining military morale; her plea for clemency was rejected. On October 6, 1944, Melzen, who was the mother of three children and 31 years old, was executed in Plötzensee. #WirVergessenNicht #SayHerName #WWII #FriedaMelzen #Gedenkenswürdig (translated)

Malca Goldstein-Wolf wrote that October 7, 2023, permanently changed Israel and left Jewish communities worldwide in shock, grief, and pain. She referred to more than 1,100 dead, 251 people taken hostage, torn-apart families, and thousands who had to leave their homes. Three years later, the attack remains part of Jewish people's lives, she wrote. She remembered the dead, the abducted, as well as families and communities whose lives had fundamentally changed. From the Holocaust and the massacre of October 7, she derives the commitment to advocate for Jewish life and to address grievances openly. Jews can no longer afford political correctness, Goldstein-Wolf wrote. She will confront those she considers part of the problem until the end and emphasized that displacement cannot take away Jews' self-respect. #Israel #Judentum #Erinnerung (translated)

The author wrote, The Left is negotiating with the SPD and the Greens about a coalition. He claimed that the party is connected with clans, organized crime, gangs from Gaza, and Hamas terrorists. He identified the common feature of these connections as hatred towards the economy and investors. He began the contribution with a warm address to a brother. #Politik #Koalition #Kriminalität #DE #PS (translated)

The author referred to the first official statement from Ferat Koçak after the clan scandal as a pitiful attempt to save his Bundestag mandate, and wrote that it would not please the Remmo family. Koçak had reportedly showered and dressed neatly to appear serious, while avoiding a Pala cloth, a Migrantifa outfit, and expressions like "Wallah" and "Brother." Additionally, the author pointed to Koçak's wording "I kiss your hearts." #Politik #Deutschland #ClanSkandal (translated)
