Ladies and gentlemen, I regret to inform you that Germany has lost its everloving mind.
Here are the facts:
20-year-old Fallyn B., a U.S. citizen living in Germany, was at the Kaiserslautern train station last June. She was born in Germany but had moved away at age two before returning in 2022 as a civilian contractor for the U.S. Air Force at the Ramstein Air Base.
After stepping on an escalator, she says a 64-year-old "asylum seeker" from Eritrea (a country in East Africa just north of Ethiopia) grabbed her butt. The man's name was Alem Tekeste.
Fallyn says she took out her folding knife in self-defense to ward Tekeste away, afraid that he wanted to rape her. An argument reportedly ensued.
This is where the allegations divert: Prosecutors say the poor, helpless African man tried to get away from the aggressive 20-year-old woman. They say Fallyn pursued him after he tried to get away and stabbed him.
Fallyn, meanwhile, says Tekeste grabbed her arm with the knife and in a moment of desperate instinct, she freed herself and stabbed out in self-defense, not knowing she had inflicted a deadly wound to his aorta.
Fallyn is charged with bodily harm resulting in death that could result in 10 years in prison.
Reporter Lara Logan had thoughts:
For context, I have to note that German authorities have gone all-out to hide the epidemic of crime that they've imported into their country.
They jail people for sharing statistics on social media...
...and they routinely try to stop public figures who are against mass migration. In the most famous and ironic case, a German police officer was fatally stabbed by a jihadi when he tackled journalist Michael StĂĽrzenberger, thinking Michael had started a fight.
(German authorities went on to convict Michael of hate speech.)
With that context out of the way, let's talk about the two principles that self-defense arguments rely on:
The ability to prove justifiable fear of bodily injury or death.
A proportionate response by the victim.
Even in the U.S. where we have the Second Amendment, that proportionality can be called into question if you have an activist prosecutor that wants to make an example of someone.
Kyle Rittenhouse lawfully shot three hostile men in a violent mob that began chasing him. One even pointed a gun at him.
Daniel Perry shot and killed a protester in Texas who walked up to his vehicle with an AK-variant rifle pointed in the "low-ready" position, believing he was in imminent danger. The governor of Texas had to pardon him.
Marine vet Daniel Penny professionally subdued a violent homeless man on a NYC subway train and was called a hero by witnesses. Prosecutors tried to frame him as a racist "white man" for murder.
In this case, Fallyn maintains that Tekeste was trying to take the knife from her, in which case he would have been able to use it on her. Prosecutors say she advanced on him as he was retreating.
Video reportedly exists of the incident, though I doubt the German authorities will release it so we can see the truth.
After all, we wouldn't want people to get the idea that importing millions of migrants was a bad idea, would we?
