A young man runs to the police. "Mr. Officer, I know something, I know something. I can even prove it. Here, take my phone. Everything is stored here." It turns out he can't prove anything, but half a dozen of his friends (and female friends) and he now have problems with youth pornography, animal pornography, and depictions of violence. I can assure you, out of 100 youths, at least 80 have a criminal problem as soon as a public prosecutor takes a closer look at the content. The rate for all others, up to boomers, is probably only slightly better. Source: More than 50% from WhatsApp groups. As soon as the public prosecutor's office continues the investigation, the whole school will have investigative procedures hanging over them, along with the entire soccer club and the volunteer fire department... Whoever voluntarily hands over their phone to the state has, in the truest sense of the word, lost control over their life. The only downside is that all their contacts are also implicated in the process. (translated)

It is of course fascinating that we, as young people in the 80s and 90s, were so fully positioned against war. Who hasn’t had to read “All Quiet on the Western Front” over and over, was encouraged by teachers to participate in demonstrations against armament, and wondered about the few who joined the Bundeswehr voluntarily? And today you turn on the television, and they tell us almost euphorically and in a loop how ports are being made war-capable and investments in armaments are being made, while afterwards documentaries about the stimulating everyday life of soldiers as young people are presented, as if that has always been the case and overall is also a positive development.

In the USA, the case of the "Cornell 7" is currently heating up. Seven men are alleged to have raped a young woman for over seven hours in 2024. Two were expelled from the university. The others had to write essays. Otherwise, nothing happened. Now the case has been reopened. (translated)

It is hard to find words that do justice to the significance of this award. The Mevlüde Genç Medal is not an ordinary prize for me. It is a great honor - but above all, a commitment. Mevlüde Genç responded to the unimaginable suffering from the attack in Solingen with something that goes far beyond what could be expected: with love, humanity, and reconciliation. Her attitude reminds us that hatred can never be the answer. For me, this award is also personally significant. My story began in Gelsenkirchen and North Rhine-Westphalia. Here I experienced that people of the most diverse backgrounds can live and work side by side quite naturally. I want to pass on these values: to the next generation and to the many young people who are charting their own paths. Education, empathy, and the willingness to understand other perspectives are crucial. Thank you very much to the state of North Rhine-Westphalia and Minister-President Hendrik Wüst for this special honor. I accept it with great gratitude - and with the awareness that it brings responsibility with it. Together is always stronger than division! 🤍 (translated)

This is the Old Country Road in Sankt Georgen in the Black Forest. A 19-year-old woman was walking on this sidewalk on Monday afternoon around 5:30 PM. A 23-year-old Syrian then suddenly attacked her from behind and hit her with his fist so hard on the back of the head that the young woman fell to the ground. Fortunately, several passersby came to the 19-year-old's aid, causing the attacker to flee. He was quickly found during the immediate search. He was admitted to a psychiatric clinic. I have inquired with the police in Konstanz about the circumstances under which the 23-year-old was admitted to a psychiatric clinic, whether he has already come to the attention of the police for violent crimes, and whether he is still in the clinic or has already been released. The response came earlier. Due to the assumption that there is a danger to others, the suspect was taken to the clinic. The police were already aware of the Syrian from the past, but not only for bodily injury offenses. The police do not know if the suspect is still in the clinic. I would like to point out again that Chancellor Merz promised before the elections to permanently remove such offenders from the streets by placing them in indefinite detention for deportation. That was a lie. Therefore, the police have little recourse against these offenders, other than a few hours of detention or a few days in a clinic, to protect the public from them. Such an attack against random victims in public space is unfortunately usually not enough to issue a detention order. The 23-year-old will soon be running free among us again. (translated)

Die Tatsache, dass die junge Frau ihre Ausbildung aufgeben musste, während diese Männer von einer Institution geschützt wurden und zur Belohnung einen Abschluss erhielten - nie wieder.Die demokratische Kongressabgeordnete Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez macht auch Cornell schwere Vorwürfe. #Vergewaltigung #CornellUniversität #SexuellerMissbrauch

A dispute between two youth groups escalates in Berlin: A 13-year-old is said to have stabbed an 18-year-old with a knife. However, the suspect cannot be prosecuted due to his age. Acts of violence by children and adolescents have reached a concerning level. Therefore, we demand that the age of criminal responsibility be lowered from 14 to 12 years so that younger offenders can finally be held criminally accountable. (translated)

Dieses Land gibt Milliarden dafür aus, jungen Männern aus archaischen Kulturen hier eine Vollversorgung zu geben, aber für die Schwächsten der Gesellschaft, die Pflege brauchen, ist auf einmal kein Geld mehr da. Und wer jetzt damit kommt, dass man diese Sachen nicht gegeneinander #SozialeGerechtigkeit #Pflege #Gesellschaft

„Philipp Amthor hat für das Interesse junger Menschen an Politik sehr wahrscheinlich mehr getan als die meisten Lehrer im Politikunterricht.“ Wie kann man als Journalist ernsthaft solche Sätze von sich geben? In welcher Welt leben diese Leute? #Politik #JungeMenschen #Journalismus
