In Germany, Firas A., a Muslim migrant, had his car keys taken from him by the police for having twice been found to have been driving without a license. In enraged response, the Syrian national proceeded to smash 245 car windshields and windows with a hammer, and then he attacked and robbed an 84-year-old woman. Yet he is still out on the streets of Hamburg, pending trial, which according to the court authorities is unlikely to lead to jail time. And what will Firas A. be like from now on? Will he become a law-abiding citizen, causing no problems, even getting a proper driver’s license, and finding, and holding, a job? Or will he continue to wreak destruction on property whenever he feels he is not being treated as he deserves? Will he never again rob an elderly woman at an ATM or on the street, or indeed, harm anyone else? How likely is any of that? I suspect — don’t you? — that he will he continue to batten on the benefits the generous German welfare state has been lavishing on him and millions of other Muslim economic migrants who claim to be “asylum seekers.” And if he feels unappreciated, why not smash in a few car windows, as a way of letting off steam? And if he needs more than the state provides, they why shouldn’t he occasionally relieve some German of a little cash, when he, a Muslim, needs it so much more than they do? What do you think is a more likely scenario for his future?
Details of Fires A.’s story can be found here: “Germany: Syrian migrant who robbed pensioner and smashed 245 car windows with hammer in violent spree avoids jail,” by Thomas Brooke, Remix News, September 27, 2023:
The breakdown of law and order in Hamburg is described here: a Syrian national who embarked on a spree of violence across the German port city of Hamburg resulting in the smashing of hundreds of car windows and windshields, as well as the violent robbery of a pensioner at an ATM, has avoided prison.
The 31-year-old man known as Firas A. had been a thorn in the side of the authorities throughout the summer months, which began with the migrant being detained twice in April for driving without a license.
After having his car keys confiscated by the police, he reportedly went on the warpath with acts of vengeful destruction, vandalizing vehicles across the city.
Having been deprived of the ability to drive, with his car keys taken from him by the police after he was twice found driving without a license (a license he did not possess), he naturally decided to make sure that a great many other people –Germans, Infidels, the “most vile of created beings,” would also be deprived of their ability to drive (albeit temporarily) by his smashing in the windshields and windows of their cars..
It is reported by the German newspaper Bild that the suspect is responsible for the smashing of 245 car windows and windshields throughout June….
Each time he was placed into custody for the alleged offenses, he was subsequently released after a Hamburg judge ruled that there was no reason to incarcerate the man.
This Hamburg judge ought to be discharged. Twelve times, Firas A. was picked up by the police after being caught smashing in car windshields and windows, and twelve times he was then released by this judge who claimed there “was no reason” to imprison him. No reason? What about the fact that each time he was released, on the judge’s orders, he went right back to his acts of mass vandalism? What more evidence did the judge require to have him held in custody this time, after his assault and robbery of an elderly lady, until trial?
The repeat offender continued his illicit activity, which culminated last month in the robbery of a pensioner at an ATM. On Aug. 23, the man was caught on surveillance footage accosting an 84-year-old woman withdrawing cash at the Osdorfer Born shopping center.
After approaching the woman from behind, the suspect grabbed the cash from her hands and in the struggle injured the pensioner, who fell to the ground. She was later treated for bruises on her hands and a cut.
Firas A. was identified by security cameras at the shopping center and authorities applied for an arrest warrant, which was reportedly refused by a Hamburg judge “due to a lack of grounds for arrest.”
Despite accepting there was enough evidence that Firas A. had been the perpetrator, the court ruled that his actions were insufficient to warrant pre-trial detention and would unlikely lead to a prison sentence following conviction.
It was held that the man’s risk of absconding was low, and there was therefore no need to place the man in custody….
Of course it is unlikely that Firas A. would abscond; he has it too good in Germany to want to move elsewhere. But that doesn’t mean this manic vandal and violent robber should be allowed out on the streets before his trial. He has given ample proof that he is a menace to life and property. And why did the judge insist that even if he were to be convicted of the vandalism and the robbery, that would be most unlikely to lead to a prison sentence? This is scarcely believable. What could be the reason? Are German prisons so overcrowded? That could be, given the steep rise in crime, the result of the steep rise in Muslim migrants who have arrived in Germany sinice 2015. Or is there something else that we don’t understand about German justice?
Thomas Jungfer, Hamburg regional chairman of the German Police Union said: “While the police have done their job here, there still seems to be room for the judiciary, and they are more likely to exercise mercy than dispense justice. That leaves you speechless.”
“Speechless” indeed, at the decision of the judges to have repeatedly let Firas A. go free after he was picked up twelve times for vandalizing cars, and then again refusing to let the police hold him in custody while he was waiting trial for both his vandalism of a total of 245 cars, and for robbery and assault. The judge, or judges, have already indicated that he will not be sentenced to jail despite his violent robbery of an 84-year-old, and his orgy of destruction of property. Why such lenient treatment for Firas A., and so little sympathy for those whose property he has destroyed or stolen? Could it be the judges’ fear of being accused of “racism” when the defendant is a Muslim? What explains this madness, and when will it all end?

Homer, I think you meant “Kristallnacht”–the night in 1938 when Nazis smashed windows at Jewish shops and Synagogs and attacked Jews. The glass looked like crystal littering sidewalks. This is often considered the first overt violent act of the Holocaust.
“Stille Nacht” is the German spelling of “Silent Night”, as in the Christmas carol.
Goofy says
‘Stille Nacht’ is a Christmas song: Silent Night.

The average cost of a new windshield ranges anywhere from $300 to $600.
On the low side, 245 windshields at $300 a pop equals $73,500.
Who is going to pay for this?

somehistory says
The “judge” should chip in.
Perhaps the “judge” should be incarcerated until he agrees to incarcerate and penalize with heavy fines….to the tune of at least 80, 000 to cover the glass expense and to help the little old lady…including fines to pay court costs and the expense of incarcerating him, then his leaky boat trip home.

Thanks ! You took the words out of me !

Good question, James.
Jim says
Vandalism is not unknown in Germany. I remember once I left my bike at the parking lot of a train station before a holiday. When I returned a day later, I found someone had damaged my bike in three ways, including destroying the lock, stabbing the seat and cutting the stand. This happened to many bikes.It was years before the mass influx of people from the Near East and North Africa, however. But the value of the damage all told was less than all the windshields the man smashed. And I would guess it is not without a cause in the mentality of people in the civilization he stems from. This again is a reason to not believe that people are the same everhwhere.

Germany: Muslim migrant smashes 245 windshields, injures 84-year-old woman, authorities find no grounds for arrest
…………………………………………
How can these *not* be serious crimes–especially the robbery of the elderly lady?
Would they have been deemed so if the perp were named Lukas A. or Michel A., instead of Firas A.?
Ghislain Pilon says
Has the law gone berserk ?
Fitna says
Rotten corrupt judge, but we see this in all western nations today. Weak judges going easy only on Muslims. If it was anyone else they’d have the book thrown at them with harsh words as well.
So not only do these weak leaders invite the worst of human scum on the planet into their countries, unvetted, knowing what could happen, they then do nothing when as we knew, they go off and engage in criminal behavior.
If one wanted to intentionally wreck their own country and destroy the lives of their citizens, this is how one would do it. This is civilizational suicide by a group of lunatics taking everyone else down with them.
Let’s hope if/when the AfD get power, they go after these weak judges and jail them for dereliction of duty.
Hudders. says
I agree with the passionate comments above. Well said all.
Whether it be Germany, as in the article; or whether it be France, Sweden, the UK, or some other country fortunate enough to welcome these marauding migrant monsters;
it seems that the malcontent miscreant muslims, have little or no fear of the justice system, or care to recognize/respect our laws.
They prove theselves to be entitled anti-social sociopaths, with ever increasing frequency & ferocity each passing day, in line with their ‘holy’ book’s teachings.
And without a doubt, the more this invasion continues, the more wanton wicked acts such as described will be trust upon the innocent, the young & the elderly without mercy.
When is enough, going to be enough for goodness sake?
As for judges such as this, even I am at a loss for words.
It truly beggers belief!
Clifford Fodor says
You have to wonder if these judges are looking out for their own skin. They don’t care about the rest of us; as long as they themselves suffer no harm from the Muslims, that’s all that matter to them.
Westman says
Germany isn’t keeping up with the French New Year celebration when up to 1000 cars might be torched with few prosecutions. Time to up their game. (This might be sarcasm)
Barney says
I hate to have to do this, but I have to say that pretrial detention is a tricky subject, because of the presumption of innocence. It is therefore subject to strict conditions, for example where the maximum penalty for the act the suspect is suspected of having committed is concerned. In a lot of countries a suspect can not be detained for offenses carrying a maximum of less than 4 years, for example. I’ve no idea about German law in this respect, but in general the maximum penalty for damaging property doesn’t come close to this minimum. Attacking and robbing people may well be a different story. Should be, anyway.
The story makes me think of the movie ‘Cool Hand Luke’, in which the protagonist (Paul Newman) is convicted for smashing parking meters while drunk. Good movie, but xtremely left wing, choosing the side of the crook.
PMK says
If the accused is a person in good standing in the community, with no prior arrest record, he might be released on his own recognizance, but this man is clearly a repeat offender. Pretrial detention should be warranted if he violated the terms of his release after the first incident.
Daffy Duck says
Good point perhaps under English, or American law, but not likely under German law. My guess is that it would be impossible to arraign and detain him, for the reason I stated before.
Furthermore, perhaps ‘repeat offender’ refers to the fact that he was ‘caught’ committing the same offence 245 times, but that would still amount to 245 suspected offences, not 245 convictions, or 1, or 2 convictions for an x amount of offences each.
Getting caught twice without a driver’s licence (and not likely to have been convicted for it, given the time span) wouldn’t pull it, if you ask me. But then again, we haven’t seen his criminal record, have we now? Not that we’re likely to…
Well, time will tell.
PMK says
Apparently this was done over a period of time. He didn’t do all 245 cars in one day. It wasn’t one time. It was multiple incidents over the course of a month. Each day should be considered an incident. He was arrested and released the first time. He should have been detained the second time. He’s a repeat offender.
It is reported by the German newspaper Bild that the suspect is responsible for the smashing of 245 car windows and windshields throughout June….
Each time he was placed into custody for the alleged offenses, he was subsequently released after a Hamburg judge ruled that there was no reason to incarcerate the man.
Goofy says
I guess this behaviour is comfortably inside the boundaries of the German law based Freedom of Religion.
tim gallagher says
This offender seems to have a slight anger management problem. I am shocked that a man, brought up in that wonderful, peaceful religion, islam, (as we are so often told) would behave so badly. It is a pathetic legal decision. He surely should have got years in jail for this disgusting behaviour. Hitting him with a wet lettuce is not the way to treat scum like this man.
Goofy says
The point of having laws is to protect society’s members and their property.
This court is doing the exact opposite: Putting society’s members in physical danger and causing them economic losses.
What is this Syrian doing on Germany anyway? Send him home no matter the consequences.
Mowgli says
I agree. No old papers (‘sans papiers’): no new papers; criminal conviction: no papers; criminal conviction within say 5 years of obtaining residential status: revocation of status. All of them persona non grata and physically removed from EU territory. Plus: family reunification: family also physically removed, because the reason for the reunification has ceased to exist.
Hoi Polloi says
Exactly right; these acts should be a legal nullification of any reunification and lead to deportation of everyone connected, as well as equivalent penalties applied to any sponsor. The idea behind admitting spouses was that an individual was directly incurring consequences during to acts of the imported spouse.
Hoi Polloi says
Yet another hate crime committed by the government against its people.
OLD GUY says
It is beginning to appear that the court systems are there to protect the criminal from the laws and not the victims.
VMS says
If this Muzzie broke my windshield, he would have a lug wrench embedded in his face.
David M says
Exactly. He needs someone to beat the living crap out of him.
Scotsman48 says
This is why muslims in Europe and other islamic Nations are laughing in the faces of non muslims as they see their violent actions having zero reactions, no backlash whatsoever and so muslims see that as a weakness of men in the Western World as revenge is an important tenet in islamic teachings.
Plus how did this violent criminal get to afford a Car in the first place, did he arrive with lots of Cash, did he work his tail off in order to buy a Car?.
My beautiful European cultures are being destroyed by Far Left idiotic Europeans that dont see that islamism is the new nazism of today.
Glad I live far far away from Europe today.
