Leon H., age 14, tried to intervene as another pupil at their school in this West-German town, Alex M., age 15 and already well-known to the police for his violence, attempted to physically attack a teacher with a knife. In the (presumably chance) presence of his own mother during all this, Alex M. ended Leon H.’s life on the spot with a direct knife jab to the throat.
Leon H. was German, as is the teacher. Alex M. was born in West-Germany to a family from Kasachstan. Kasachstan is predominently Muslim, having also Jews and Christians. One has yet to ever hear of a non-Muslim Kasachstani wielding a knife at school. Ever. And using it, quite professionally at that. We have been reporting on a mere fraction of just such cases, mere fraction of what we could be posting.
Speaking of reporting, all the mainstream media here led one to believe Leon and Alex were just two German youth whose encounter that day ended in tragedy, end of story. The headlines blared: “In the presence of his (Alex’s) mother...!” and “Mother had to look on as her son stabbed a fellow pupil!” Not a word about Kasachistani identity or customs. One would think, with such sensationalist headlines, the mainstream press would tell us more - something, anything! - about that mother. Nada, not a word in any article, just those headlines. (This same press has been known for deliberately concealing the actual immigrant Muslim identity of a perpetrator behind a thoroughly fictitious Western name.)
I for one, would like to know what she said, how she reacted, what her condition is. What kind of home life does Alex come out of, how did his mother raise him. I mean, if you’re going to mention her witnessing this murder before her eyes, by her own 15-year-old son. One would think. But this would be to miss the purpose of the thing. For that is exactly what the standard mainstream press does not want you to do. Think.
This same press wrote in all papers - they work from the same script, that much has been long well established - that the fight ensued because Alex M. felt that Leon H. had given Alex’s mother some kind of “look”. Well, that being the case (were it so) one could understand Alex bringing a knife to school and using it to slit Leon’s gullet - it stands to reason.
Alternative journalism exists - when it’s good - because normal standard journalists have abdicated their jobs for the Department or Ministry of Propaganda. One of the very best and most professional current alternative journalists in German print is David Berger. He brought out the fact that Leon had to die because he intervened for that teacher, and the mother evidently had nothing to do with the matter.
Yet she was there. Where she had not intervened, Leon did. Where neither she nor the police, nor the school authorities nor the courts, in this perpetrator-loving, victim-loathing Merkel-State, ever had intervened in Alex’ life, Leon did. And paid with his.
The Greens, the SPD, The Left, Merkel’s CDU, the press - they are all fine with all of it. The question is long since, not of corruption or ineptitude here - but of cunning complicity. As Merkel’s tired and self-parodying slogan goes, “Wir schaffen das!” (“We’ll manage that!”) Yes, a most macabre truth: they are indeed managing all of this.
