Germany: Police had Berlin jihad murderer on watch list, but didn’t watch him on weekends, holidays

Oct 23, 2017 12:20 pm By Robert Spencer

After all, there are so very many jihadis in Germany now, German authorities can’t be expected to keep track of them all at all times. Celebrate diversity!

“Special Investigator: Police Did Not Watch Berlin Attacker on Weekends, Holidays,” by Chris Tomlinson, Breitbart, October 16, 2017:

Special investigator Bruno Jost has completed his report into the police actions surrounding Berlin terror attacker Anis Amri and said officers should have been able to stop Amri before the attack took place, noting they only monitored him “sporadically”.

Mr. Jost, a former German Federal prosecutor, slammed the methods of the Berlin State Criminal Police Office (LKA) officers saying in his 72-page report that officers were “inadequate”, “belated”, “failing”, and “unprofessional”. The special investigator said that if police had done their jobs properly, there was a “high probability” the attack could have been thwarted, Der Spiegel reports.

One of the most damning findings of the report was that LKA officers only kept an eye on failed Tunisian asylum seeker Amri on weekdays and did not bother to watch what he was doing on weekends or holidays.

Jost said that while Amri’s radical Islamic activities were not serious enough to put him behind bars, LKA investigators squandered an opportunity to arrest and deport him in connection with his drug dealing activity.

The reason Amri was never prosecuted for drug trafficking, according to the report, was a total lack of communication between branches of the police and the prosecution services. In the end, no service wanted to be responsible for Amri and his case never proceeded to court.

The Berlin authorities were not the only ones deeply criticised in the report. According to Jost, when Amri was in Baden-Württemberg he was caught in possession of a pair of fake Italian ID cards. Despite it being a crime, Amri was released by authorities in Friedrichshafen without charge.

Jost is also currently investigating allegations that LKA officers tampered with evidence relating to Amri in order to cover up their own failures and mistakes….

    Sounds like German cops sit on their thumbs all day. ? Sounds like the networking that law enforcement is supposed to do does not get done. ? Sounds like more terrorist-murders will take place in Germany with no clue as to how to prevent them. ?

      Socialism on steroids… I wonder who watches the terrorists when the police are on a month-long vacation? Imagine the continuity when the leaving investigator plops his files on the desk of a returning investigator with a, “here’s a few guys that need watching”. Bye, bye, see you in a month – don’t call.

      In the Midst of denial & accusing the FAR RIGHT one MUST keep an eye on the OVERTIME & the BUDGET !
      As in the UK where the Police & Government & Councils & the BBC refused to Acknowledge , investigate , or arrest child rapists & are still doing so the BUDGET & the IDEOLOGY of MULTICULTURALISM is FAR MORE important than CHILDREN or PUBLIC SAFETY & this s also the case in MERKELS Germany as it is in JEAN CLAUDE JUNKERS EU !!!

      Get the PRIORITIES in line with the Political Parties priorities across the WEST in relation to this ever so Peaceful IDEOLOGY of ISLAM !

      This is what happens, ( by the Socialist Egalitarian, Open Border’s, “We Are The World”,
      Traitorous, LEFTIST). Perhaps’s GERMANY, Need’s a New, & “Revised”,(“Watered Down” ), version, of National Socialism, LED by a Responsible, Non-Antisemetic, Drug-Free, & Fair-minded, “PATRIOTIC LEADER”!!?? Someone, desperately need’s, “TO STOP”, The Incoming, massive, & Deliberate INVASION OF ALL THESE “3rd World”, “MUSLIM DEADBEAT’S”!!! Either Deportation, Incarceration, OR “Eradication”!!??

    Every day’s a holiday for a tax-payer supported jihadi.

    It’s one of the ‘benefits’ of migrantification of European society.

    There is enough blame to go around considering that Jihadist murder spree in Berlin. For Merkel is as guilty as sin regarding taking part of the blame for that Islamic terror truck attack in Berlin jihad attack. For her PC politics and polices led to that murderous jihad murder disaster. Furthermore, is should be made clear that the “holy book” of Islam, the Quran, [the Koran] gives instruction in the ways of the violent and deadly jihad. To give only one out of many examples of this from the Koran is Sura 47:4. Which teaches “Whenever you encounter the unbelievers strike off their heads until you make a great slaughter among them…” Let’s face it, using a large truck as a weapon, as the Muslim /jihadist did, can sure make a greater “slaughter among them” than a sword can.

    Shame that police are even required to spend time watching failed asylum seekers, who obviously should no longer be within the border of the country once they FAILED to be granted the privilege of remaining there.
    Another way in which jihad is draining our financial and policing resources

    Ah, yes–because we know how Jihadists use the weekend to relax and how they observe Infidel holidays…sarc/off

    For years, aliens have been abducting Germans and removing the common sense part of their brains. How else can you explain it?

    Ugh. At this point, I’m happy to let the Germans fall on their own sword. They voted Merkel back in, even though she’s come back with a far less stable power base.

    She should’ve been figuratively lynched with the election. She wasn’t. So Germany has committed itself down this path of cultural suicide.

    I just don’t care anymore. You can lead a horse to water but you cannot make it drink. Germany, Sweden, France etc – kiss your cultures goodbye. You lot made your bed, now its time to lie in it.

      I’m afraid an Islamized Germany, Sweden, and France would present a danger to us all–not just their own citizens.

    Approximately 80+- years ago, Germany fielded the most disciplined, well-trained armed forces in the world, it took an effort of the world’s strongest allies to finally bring down Germany. Today, possibly in protest to Prussian military-type discipline, the protectors of Germany’s peace and compliance to the law are as soft as American “snowflakes” which sully a real American man’s masculinity.

    Having worked with several German colleagues, I have to say I’m not surprised. Too many seem to view work as an obligation of the employer to give them something to do on weekdays as an excuse to get paid. Try to get anything done and suddenly you are hit with a Byzantine bureaucracy, mainly of the “you need permission to do ____.” And they absolutely love this but will pay lip service to Americans about how frustrated they are.

    The elitist educated Germans I knew and with whom I discussed Islam accepted all of my facts, but still refused to concede that Islam was a threat to a democratic civilization. Too proud to change their attitude or study the facts, because they are so sure they are right.

    So much incompetence? I’m not buying it! There’s more to this than meets the eye.
