  1. From the article –

    “Der Spiegel, which said it had verified Muhammad’s identity, noted that the actions of the two men had probably prevented more people from being injured.

    News of their interventions soon began to make waves across Germany, with some contrasting it to the sustained efforts by the far-right, anti-immigrant party Alternative für Deutschland, to link migration to crime, even as a recent study by the Munich-based Ifo Institute [found there](https://www.ifo.de/en/press-release/2025-02-18/more-foreigners-do-not-increase-germanys-crime-rate#:~:text=Migration%20to%20Germany%20does%20not,and%20the%20local%20crime%20rate.) was “no correlation” between migration and higher crime rates.

    Many in German media have seemingly also echoed this association; a [2023 analysis ](https://mediendienst-integration.de/fileadmin/Dateien/Hestermann_2025__Wie_Medien_u__ber_Messerangri_ffe_berichten.pdf)found that both print and television media reported five times more on violent crimes when the suspect was a foreigner in Germany, the broadcaster Deutsche Welle [noted recently.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iXh5UYGqfEM&ab_channel=DWNews)”

  2. Just wait for AfD to change the tune and start claiming that the filthy Syrian attacked that woman.

  3. Let’s not forget that when the Ba’athist regime fell that Germany was shitting its pants that its Syrian doctors would return home, so represented were they in the German healthcare system that it would be very heavily harmed should they have all decided to leave.

    But no, all immigrants are minions of the antichrist (/s… obviously)

  6. Lets see if this post attracts the same amount of comments and upvotes as when a migrant perpetrates a crime

  10. Brave guy. In France, he’d get citizenship for that.

  11. If you’ve been dodging snipers on the way to school, you’re made of different stuff than the wannabe “alpha males” who feel strong only as part of a mob, I assume.

  12. Interesting fact: A broken clock is right twice a day. It still remains a broken clock.

  13. “The answer to a bad guy with a gun, is a good guy with a gun”

  14. Oh hey
