Do Western nations get the politicians we deserve? This is supposedly a member of a 'Conservative' party.

Article: After the massacre in Würzburg last Friday, in which a Somali killed three women in a shop with a knife and seriously injured five others, including an eleven-year-old girl, Würzburg's mayor Christian Schuchardt (CSU) shocked with a letter he addressed sent out all the townspeople.

Instead of delving deeply into the victims and expressing condolences to them, he only dedicated a few words to them at the beginning of the letter. Mayor Schuchardt, on the other hand, dealt extensively with preventing a possible pre-conviction of the perpetrator, who came to Germany in 2015, and drew questionable parallels.

Schuchardt: "Moral demands" on society
He wrote: “Even we Germans were not condemned across the board after the Second World War. Neither does this now apply to Somalis or refugees in general. This stereotyped thinking must come to an end. "



The question with which he ended the paragraph, however, raises the most questions: “This is my moral demand, my wish to society, which I know cannot be fulfilled. Because how would you feel today as a foreigner in our city? "

Whether he wants to justify or relativize something in the act with this question, in which, among other things, a 49-year-old mother died in defense of her 11-year-old seriously injured daughter, remains open.

Mayor sees no connection to religious fanaticism
The massacre, which is now classified by several experts as being Islamistically motivated (eXXpress reported ), has nothing to do with religion or the like. The mayor went on to say that “the crimes of individuals can never be traced back to ethnic groups, religions or nationalities. All the more, the enlightenment, the work against it in this direction must be the object of our social endeavors. "

"I cried"
He also said he cried last night. Also about the victims, as he wrote at the beginning of the letter. In the third paragraph of his letter, however, he also wrote that he “wept for the city. Because this short circuit, this equating is so obvious. Refugees, immigrants, religious warriors and terrorists - massacres. And yet - not everything that lags is a comparison. "The police would work to solve the crime, but despite the ongoing investigation, it is" already being attributed. "

"Education in society is the subject of our endeavors"
The mayor also wrote that “Individual crimes can never be traced back to ethnic group, religion or nationality. Enlightenment, working against it in this direction must all the more be the subject of our social endeavors. "

Integration Council is more concerned with the image of the Somali community
The integration council of the city of Würzburg also published a confusing statement. Condolences were only expressed in a subordinate clause to the victims and their relatives. Most of the broadcast dealt with the possible "effects on the life of the Somali community."

“According to the Foreigners and Integration Council, the Somali community is now deeply insecure. They feared effects on their own lives, it was said. Therefore, work should now be done to ensure that the act does not turn into blanket accusations. "

The Integration Advisory Council considered it particularly important that one now had to prevent politically conservative or right-wing parties from benefiting from this massacre. "It is also important to prevent what has happened from being politically instrumentalized by anti-immigrant forces."
