Yvonne Kussmann wrote that a 23-year-old Indian man snatched a five-year-old boy from his mother on a platform in Wuppertal in April 2018 and jumped in front of a train with him. The child survived the attack without serious injuries. In October 2018, the man was acquitted due to insanity caused by paranoid schizophrenia and placed in a secure psychiatric facility. Kussmann contrasted the diagnosis with the belief in demons like Asuras or Pishachas in India, from whom people might receive commands, including to kill. She stated that the man had been deported after about eight years in the secure facility; various media reported on this. At the same time, she questioned whether Western therapies were meaningful for a man with a different cultural background. Using figures from North Rhine-Westphalia for 2025, Kussmann calculated that among approximately 4,300 detained individuals, costs of 623 million euros had been incurred. This amounts to about 390 euros per person per day. For eight years in the secure facility, this totals just over 1.1 million euros for the man. Kussmann questioned why the man had not been immediately deported instead of being treated at the taxpayers' expense for so long. She noted that he had entered as an asylum seeker, attempted to kill a child, and had never received a punishment for the act. #Asylpolitik #PsychischeGesundheit #Gesellschaftsdebatte (translated)

Claudio Casula reported that a man at the Rewe checkout had pointed at three bottles of Kalinka kefir for his wife the night before and said that the manufacturer Müller had connections to the AfD and donated to the party. Casula replied that he did not want to base his purchasing decision on the political stance of the manufacturer and that donations were allowed. The man then ended the conversation. Casula lamented that he had been politically lectured while shopping without being asked. In retrospect, he wondered if he should have reacted more strongly or given the man the middle finger, and asked if others had experienced something similar. #Einkaufen #Politik #Gesellschaft (translated)

Regina Laska accused Alice Weidel of representing Russian interests under the motto "Germany first." She wrote that the interview was more in line with Putin's positions than patriotic concerns. Laska criticized that Weidel, when asked about Putin's willingness for peace, instead questioned Zelensky's readiness for peace. According to Laska, this amounted to a demand for Ukraine to give up its defense. As an example, Laska mentioned that Ukraine had not attacked Russian refineries for three days at Trump's request, while Russia continued to bomb. There were no Patriot missiles during that time, only throttled Starlink. Laska wrote that Zelensky has been willing to hold fire for months. She claimed that the Kremlin ignores this and continues to bomb until Ukraine has capitulated. In conclusion, she asked what Germany would gain if Putin succeeded, and whether Germany could also be affected. #Politik #Russland #Deutschland (translated)
