Same as it ever was. Police here in the US knew almost all of the criminals for a long time, some been released multiple times 'because they are no threat'. Then the commit atrocities again, and same poor pitiful me story as there. I just read the other day how a thug wanted an apology and money from the govt for being 'mistreated'.
I think Elon Musk just spoke about this to the Economist’s Zanny Minton Beddoes. It was so refreshing to see the lame stream press utterly destroyed by his comments. Wake up Europe. You have a radical Islamist problem!! And sending known violent offenders to anything but jail is criminal in its own right.
Hey Grok. Give me your best slop guesstimate at how many state jobs this guy created in his life.
**tl;dr:** Rough guesstimate: 40–80+ German state-linked jobs sustained or activated over his life, mostly in security, courts, probation, and deradicalization. One low-level offender generated work across intelligence, police, judiciary, prisons, and a state-funded “prevention” network.
- **Early classification and monitoring**: Security services flagged him as an Islamist *Gefährder* as a teenager. That alone requires case officers, analysts, and periodic reviews—easily 5–10 people over years.
- **Prior crimes**: Assault and robbery convictions mean police investigators, prosecutors, court staff, and possibly probation. Add another 8–15 roles per case cycle.
- **Syria attempt and return**: Tip-off, detention coordination with Lebanon, extradition/return process, and pretrial detention involved border/intelligence liaisons, prison staff, and legal personnel. Estimate 10–15 more.
- **2026 conviction and release**: Tiergarten Magistrates’ Court trial, sentencing to 1 year 10 months, then conditional release with mandatory deradicalization. Court staff, prosecutors, prison officers, and Violence Prevention Network workers (state-funded) account for another 10–20.
- **Post-release surveillance and failed raid**: Intermittent monitoring plus the toy-gun social-media raid required surveillance teams and SEK officers.
- **Final manhunt**: Multiple SEK raids (apartment, sister’s place, Spandau allotment), manhunt coordination, and the lethal confrontation itself activated dozens of specialized police for a single day.
Over a roughly 5–7 year window of known activity, the cumulative personnel touchpoints—intelligence, police, courts, prisons, probation, and prevention programs—realistically total in the mid-dozens to low hundreds of individual state or state-funded roles, even if many were part-time or shared across cases. One persistent low-level threat keeps an entire bureaucratic ecosystem busy.
May be he should open his home to all these poor, mistreated, underprivileged germans from foreign origin who still do not know how western culture works. this is one of the people, who, even though born in Germany, will never adapt. At least you won't have to pay for the lifelong upkeep.
'He mentioned neither Islam nor mass migration, insisting instead that “intolerance, exclusion, discrimination, rude language and offensive jokes” had a part in Ballout’s violence.'
Well, I don't doubt that intolerance and offensive jokes, etc. may have played a part in fueling this man's obvious anger, but it's silly to deny that mass migration doesn't also play a part. Everybody knows it but no one will (officially) admit it.
It has to be offensive jokes or racist rhetoric fueling this violence, because they cannot say what the real problem is: Islam. The ideology is making itself very clear, they believe they have the right and the duty to take over the world through violence. They will murder all non-Islamics who won't convert and become second-class citizens. The West has to wake up and stop this jihad crap. I see small signs of hope that we are starting to wake up, but far too much of the kowtowing to the poor abused Muslims. Ugh!
Vortex of insanity sums it up well. We see now the establishment cannot face reality. I suspect these kinds of rationales will become ever more extreme to accommodate the reality of importing people who will never be German, not even if born there.
I suspect we will soon reach a phase where we will view mass immigration as cruel. Ballout was never going to make it.
"Well, I don't doubt that intolerance and offensive jokes, etc. may have played a part in fueling this man's obvious anger..."
It would seem that if anything, this man's path has been paved with care and concern, accolades and well-wishers throughout German society. I mean, if he had been airdropped into the middle of one of my dinner conversations, perhaps, but barring that it's just not plausible that he was radicalized by bad say.
This alternative universe tragedy version of "Groundhog Day" gets harder to watch each time.
I did wonder yesterday when the news hit the interwebs if our Sylvia was in the process of making a career of being the getaway driver for young Muslim men any normal person would recoil from as if from a nest of rattlesnakes. There may be many Sylvias too.
Something MUST be done about automobile violence!! (But only for White native German AfD types). Yeah, some clown named abdul ballout is what comes to mind when I think about Germany…
“He mentioned neither Islam nor mass migration, insisting instead that “intolerance, exclusion, discrimination, rude language and offensive jokes” had a part in Ballout’s violence.”
Merz’s pathological denial of the enemy within, is akin to perpetrating another crime on top of that which just killed and maimed innocent people. It also signals to other would-be perpetrators that, should they too be plotting to kill random Germans, that they, and their ideology, will go unblamed, and any acts of terror committed by them in the future will be summarily brushed under the carpet. And that it is the German people themselves who are to blame and they who must adjust their attitudes to be more tolerant.
I say, how much more can sane Germans tolerate from people like this in their government?
Merz. What does it feel like to be a wooden marionette with your mouth attached to a bit of string? If thought could get inside that wooden block, he’d know instantly what he said was nonsense. But he might have a condition that transcends hypocrisy: when you can no longer access the plain truth even as it barrels at you in a white van.
Ahmed al-Sharaa, born Saudi, relocated in Syria, and long-time jihadist fighter, former head of Al-Nusra, is the current president of Syria, put there by the CIA.
Germany was supporting jihadists against the Syrian loyalists through an office in Beirut.
Think of the American support to Ben Laden against the Soviets in Afghanistan and how Brzezinski dismissed there could be any trouble in helping Sunni jihadists here ore there against Russians, this or that.
Yet another miscreant known to the police, free to go about his peaceful business of killing sundry hapless citizens. Where have I heard this before?

Do you mean the Mexican national currently in prison for murder who wants $75M for hurt feelings? Hilarious..
Yes I think that is the one. It was on the news feed earlier this week. Daring little thug isn't he?
They should have let him stay in Syria. Their problem would have been solved by now.

Fascinating.
So it's basically to maintain budget levels and jobs.

I'm genuinely curious why you think this:

Don't forget the machete violence 😳

It seems the German criminal justice and deportation systems are working about as badly as the British ones. Equality!

Your chancellor is a hapless evasive creep incapable of adressing the issue.
But what's new?
"Deradicalization".
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
You German make funny.......
Once you go radical, … (?) couldn’t come up with a good rhyme

Well, there you are.
Never as clever at predicting the way events are likely to evolve.
As evidenced again and again and again.
Then chaos and destruction is the plan maybe?
I personally like “intermittent surveillance”.
Exactly what the hell is THAT?
they seemed to have tapped his phones and kept an eye now and again on his social media accounts. but, not totally clear.
Only on Tuesdays, and the occasional Friday, if they’re not too busy.
Good, balanced reporting, thank you. Meine Gedanken an alle Trauernden.
