Some stories are so insane you hardly know where to start with them.
On Monday a man shot up a youth welfare centre in Stade, near Hamburg, ultimately leaving six social workers dead. Before police could arrive, the shooter left the building and got into a Mercedes GLE Coupé, where his getaway driver was waiting. Police pursued the car, shot out its tyres and arrested driver and shooter while bystanders filmed.
Authorities initially refused to release any information about their suspect, claiming that his ethnic background had no relevance to the crime. Since late Monday evening, however, the steady intravenous drip of information has revealed this to be one of the most bizarre and insane crimes in recent memory.
- The suspect, Fatih Khan G., is a Turkish citizen, born in Hanover. Early unconfirmed reports – since called into question – held that he was a member of the Miri Clan, an organised crime cartel active around Bremen. As always, he was known to German police for prior threatening behaviour.
- Fatih Khan G.’s weapon was a Beretta 70 semi-automatic pistol, which he purchased on the black market for the amazing price of €4,000 in Berlin Kürfurstendamm – exactly one week before the attack.
- At the time of the shooting, Fatih Khan G. was under investigation for child abuse. His infant daughter had suffered a serious brain injury and authorities suspected shaken baby syndrome and withdrew her from his custody. He travelled to the youth welfare centre in Stade on Monday to meet his daughter and her mother and attend some kind of counselling or planning session with social workers. He sent mother and daughter out of the room, then pulled out his gun and started shooting.
- Fatih Khan G. is wanted for serious sex crimes in Turkey, including the suspected sexual abuse of his own daughter. He escaped pretrial detention in Turkey in 2021 and made his way back to Germany, totally safe from the Turkish authorities because naturally our own police never have the slightest idea about the criminal records of the foreigners we allow to live here.
- Fatih Khan G.’s getaway driver turns out to be a 65 year-old German woman named Sylvia S. She works for the Verband binationaler Familien und Partnerscahften, a well-funded migration advocacy NGO. Sylvia S. was the godmother of Fatih Khan G.’s poor brain-injured daughter. Three days before the shooting, Sylvia S. circulated to various media outlets a 20-page memo defending Fatih Khan G. and arguing that his daughter should be returned to his custody.
- Our unlikely getaway driver, Sylvia S., is also the mother-in-law of an SPD politician named Deniz Kurku. Kurku serves in the state parliament of Lower Saxony, where he is State Commissioner for Migration and Inclusion. Kurku has been in the news most recently for his connection to a corruption scandal surrounding another Turkish SPD politician named Hülya Iri. Basically, Kurku recommended public funding for an asylum NGO run by Iri, which NGO existed solely to transfer money to Iri’s bank account.
- The getaway car driven by Sylvia S. had been re-registered under her name five weeks before the shooting. It is a flashy Mercedes of the kind preferred by many Turkish and Arab migrants, and the last thing you’d expect Lefty boomer NGO-affiliated women to be driving. It is registered in Hanover and the number plate, which includes the letters “KD”, may suggest it is in fact Deniz Kurku’s automobile.
- Sylvia S. was released hours after her arrest on Monday, and as of now she faces no criminal charges.

‘It was always the women.’ h/t Orwell.
What, apart from the abusive, paedophile, psychopathic mass-killer, you mean?🤡
When the dam bursts, and Europeans and British people vent their fury, it will be a terrible thing to behold.
I’d have agreed 30 or 40 years ago. But in 2026 we have a brainwashed generation in positions of power and a comfortably lethargic population.
This doesn’t exactly paint a pretty picture;
”A beautiful kaleidoscope of 118 diverse nationalities killing, trafficking women, dealing drugs, and wreaking havoc across Europe? This might not be exactly what the European Union had in mind when it repeated the mantra that “diversity is our strength,” but it is the reality it will have to deal with. Europe is facing an organized crime landscape more sophisticated, transnational, and resilient than ever before — one that Europol says now resembles a network of “corporations of crime” rather than traditional street gangs. Albanian, Turkish, Moroccan, Balkan and many other foreign gangs dominate drug trafficking, extortion, human smuggling, and street violence.
In its latest report, “Decoding the EU’s Most Threatening Criminal Networks: Issue 2 — The Blueprint of Criminal Opportunism,” Europol identified 731 active criminal networks operating across EU territory, comprising more than 400,000 members from 118 different nationalities. That figure represents a fivefold increase from just two years ago, according to Austrian outlet exxpress — though the jump reflects a shift in Europol’s methodology as much as raw growth in criminal numbers.
Drug trafficking remains the dominant criminal market, anchored by cocaine and synthetic drugs, with one in five of the most… Read more »
Although we in the UK really do have wokeism badly, it seems utterly deranged in Germany.
Everything I read about what goes on there related to wokeism, suggest that the authorities are practising a complete inversion of western values and democracy.
Are the general population simply going along with it for the ride? Why aren’t there riots in protest??
Baffling. Perhaps a large part of the general population are as deluded and deranged as this Sylvia S. person presumably is. I wonder if she regrets anything she has done thus far.
She was the getaway driver for a mass murderer, and was released a few hours after being arrested.
Simple question – Why was she released?
The thing about stories such as this, they are the same for every European Country – and repeat.
I don’t know about cultural enrichment, but whoever sold him a pistol for 4000 euros was certainly enriched!
