Holy Moly!! Axe, knives and molotov cocktails

My girlfriend lives in Germany and unfortunately this is one of several instances THIS YEAR where this type of thing has happened.... I do have to take pause here, I recall (maybe it's wishful thinking on my part) but we didn't have violence when growing up (regardless of Country)

It amazes me that we see this happening and so frequently .....

ANSBACH, Germany (AP) - An 18-year-old student armed with an ax and knives lobbed Molotov cocktails at his high school in southern Germany on Thursday, wounding eight pupils and a teacher before he was shot and arrested by police.
The teenager entered the Carolinum High School in the Bavarian town of Ansbach on Thursday morning and threw one Molotov cocktail before police were alerted and arrived at the scene, said Bavarian Interior Minister Joachim Herrmann.
Police smelled smoke when they arrived at the school, Hermann said. They were confronted by the ax-wielding teen, who had thrown a second Molotov cocktail that apparently failed to detonate.
"Since the attacker threatened to use his weapons against the police, the officers opened fire," Hermann said, adding that the attacker, who was not identified, was wounded and in critical condition.

Ahhh; never bring a knife to a gunfight....idiot

Silly goose


Personally, I'm rather glad that they were able to stop this individual before he caused any more casualties, maybe when interrogated they will discover the root cause, but it is baffling, none the less....
