With knife attacks rapidly rising, German police offer ‘tips’ on how to confront your assailant
American Thinker ^ | 9 Nov, 2023 | Olivia Murray

“Random” stabbing sprees and knife attacks are on a steady and marked rise in Germany, and for some reason, German leaders, politicians, and officials don’t seem too keen to dissect and solve a very non-complex problem. Instead, they’ve offered “tips” on what to do if you find yourself at the receiving end of a crazed person with a knife, reported by Thomas Brooke at Remix News:

Try to get away, or “keep your distance” from the attacker.

“Shout” or “scream” at your attacker—but it must be louder than their allahu akbar shrieks. (Okay, I added that second part, because we all see where this is going.)

Huh, no kidding? If someone is attempting to stab a knife into us, we should try to get away? I mean, without government, how would we have ever figured that out on our own?

What’s really awful though, is that the police finally felt compelled to speak up after a particularly disturbing event in which a “man wielding a blade” came after a mother and child.

Like I said, this has been a steadily increasing problem; from an article by The European Conservative this past summer:

If one takes into account figures recorded and published by the state criminal police offices in Germany’s 16 federal states, the total number of knife attacks across the entire country exceeded 21,000 in 2022, which amounts to a staggering 60 attacks every single day….

And, like I also said, there doesn’t seem to be any impetus on behalf of the German government to actually do something about what I’d consider a serious policy error—sixty knife attacks every day? So what in the world transpired to cause such a scary and non-Western shift in the public landscape?

Knives seem to have a strong religious significance in islam.

For an unarmed/disarmed society, being killed with a knife is much more terrifying than being shot, which, as awful as it is, has the psychological aspect of distancing. Guns are impersonal. A guy with a blade is up close and breathing on you.

Most folks aren't trained to disarm someone wielding either. And I haven't practiced/trained in twenty years so I'd die either way in a Kraut's situation.

Luckily, this is America and for urban carry, there's my friend Walther. And for most other times, Kimber or CZechy.

Yeah it seems common sense, but that’s just for now. As Germany becomes MORE islamic, the government advice will shift to advising kafir under certain circumstances to SUBMIT to the knifing. After all, the word “Islam” means “submission to satan”. Oops, I meant “allah”.

Stupid politicians in the UK have installed knife surrender bins on sidewalks. The idea is that members of the Religion of Knives (oops, the Religion of Peace) will deposit their knives, and give up their stabby ways.

It doesn’t work, of course. But it makes the stupid UK politicians feel like they’re doing something. Perhaps the stupid politicians in Germany should also put out these bins.

Because letting your citizens actually defend themselves would make too much sense.

Just outlaw knives! You don’t need them to eat bugs anyway.

I suppose putting a couple of 230 grain .45 caliber hollow point in the attackers chest cavity at 900 fps is out of the question.

Well, the UK is getting there. In response to the Muslim knife attacks, there is actually a movement in the UK to ban pointed knives.

It sounds like a parody. But it’s real. And you really can’t blame Muslims for thinking the West is too stupid to deserve to survive.

I hate to say this but that's the conclusion I would come to also.

They might want to ban sharp edges on knives while they are at it. Those sharp edges, not the points, are the part used in beheading.

I think they might be on to something here. Instead of “Get a Life, Bin That Knife”, maybe Bin The Politician, Enjoy Your life.

Have these next to all Federal and State Government offices. I’d participate in binning a pol and enjoy every moment of it!
