Just heard a fascinating new expression on the news: “the non-indigenous populations of Germany that are not entirely culturally integrated.” This deserves some sort of an award.

I’m assuming that the sentence came from an American or Canadian English-language news channel, right?

Interesting info about the German ax attacker (who looks older than 17):
ISIS train axe attacker is a ‘Pakistani’ who LIED about being Afghan to get higher immigration status in Germany – as he is pictured at a music festival wearing a pink wig
…
On his Facebook page he wrote in English: ‘Life is too short to learn German.’

The Left talks about integration and being more welcoming. What integration services and which welcoming will help, if some arrivals think life is too short to make an effort? But, apparently, not too short to die as a terrorist in one’s 20ies.
I do not understand how wearing pink wigs, writing “I miss you mama” and getting relatively cushy living conditions on “a farm with foster parents” goes together with the ax attack.
How does learning “that a friend had been killed in Afghanistan” and deciding to attack Europeans lead to attacking a family of tourists from Hong Kong? What is their connection to Pakistan or Afghanistan?

People who become murderers use all kinds of narratives and excuses. But these are deeply damaged people whose way of being can’t be changed by fostering or a farm or anything like that. There might be a genetic or a neurologic component. Not that this excuses anything, of course.
If there were no ISIS, he’d still kill. He’d simply give a different explanation. The murder comes from deep within.
