In Germany our politicians are much more clever. We have "no knive zones" in parts of the cities. But unfortunately the knives don't care, nor do their wearers

.
And the police is not allowed to control it on people with dark skin, since this would be racism, because nearly all of the attackers have a dark skin. In fact only the German "Kartoffeln" ("potatoes", a derogative term for white Germans coined by a Turkish man living in Germany), or the "Hunderasse" ("dog breed", also a derogative term, coined by a Turkish official in sports for the biological Germans) are stolen a possibility for self-defense. Only white Germans, even old women, are frisked by the police. This happened several times at the Christmas markets last year.
If our government finally would grok that law enforcement has nothing to do with race or religion. But no hope.
Perhaps you may know the last mortal stabbing some days ago. A "refugee" from Afghanistan killed a two-year-old boy and a 41-year-old man, who wanted to protect the nursery school group with the minors in the park of Aschaffenburg (Bavaria).

Now it is known that the killer has attacked his ex-lover with a chop knife. But although he should have left the country long ago, he was still in Germany and killed the boy and the passer-by. (Below a link to an article in German on the attack against his ex-lover).

This is not an exception, it is the rule. Almost all attackers and stabbers are well known to the police for some or even a long time. Their right of asylum was denied but they are still here and nothing happens until they kill people in the end.
I am completely sick of this as most of the Germans.
By the way: The newest explanation of this horrific crime is, that the killer was not welcomed and loved enough by the German society. In other words: The society is to blame for his attack. I am not kidding.
