Another stabbing this time in Germany

They need to find the root of the problem rather than just slapping legislative band-aids on the implements. When all guns and knives are made illegal, the violent will just switch to other implements and keep right on going - they'll take up clubs, or hammers, or ball point pens, or whatever else they can get their hands on to do their violence, as the recent knifings attest. They seem to be concentrated in countries where guns are either banned or heavily restricted. Once the knives are under the same bans and restrictions, we'll start hearing about screw driver violence, or club violence.

When are they going to get a handle on what makes violent people act violently? Addressing only the implements of violence means that they've caught it far too late, after it has been encouraged to progress too long, right into violence.

I think that they create the problem. It is foolish to plant a potato, and expect to grow an apple. A single blackberry plant comes with many pleasant benefits. A blackberry plant left uncared for, can become a painful nightmare.

Immigrants allowed in in large numbers, without sponsors, housed together, is a recipe for disaster. They are strangers in a strange land, and will flock and bind with anything or anyone that looks or feels familiar. It creates a ghetto, and decreases the likelihood of assimilation.

If they are sponsored and housed in a community where they can learn the language and the culture, they can get a job and assimilate. Some people will call this isolation. However, it is the easiest and fastest way to assimilate a foreigner seeking asylum. If they want to assimilate.
