Youth crime debate divides Germany's ruling parties ahead of state polls
Juvenile crime is making headlines ahead of German state elections. Events at a Munich metro station have left the nation in shock. Surveillance cameras captured the brutal beating of a pensioner over the Christmas holidays. Two youths have been detained, one Greek, the other Turkish.
He asked them to stop smoking in Munich's subway station. They brutally beat up the 76- year-old pensioner. Last Thursday, the 20-year-old Turk Serkan A. and his Greek friend Spiridon L. admitted that they critically wounded the former schoolmaster Bruno N. and offended him by calling him: “Crap German.”
When the victim was lying motionless on the floor, the two took the old man's rucksack and quickly fled. The victim suffered a triple fractured skull with dangerous brain bleeding. At first, his life was in jeopardy, but his physical condition is stable now. The motive: “Why was he so stupid to talk to us? He must have seen that we were drunk and thus, it was normal that we became aggressive.” No repentance at all!
Before the Turk and his Greek friend attacked the pensioner Bruno, they met up with another not-so-close friend and consumed drugs and alcohol together.
In the wake of the attack, Chancellor Angela Merkel voiced support for boot camps and other new penalties. Her conservatives unveiled plans, including measures that would make it easier to expel foreign offenders. |
