Following a tragic stabbing incident in Aschaffenburg that resulted in two deaths, including a 2-year-old boy, Mayor Jurgen Herzing expressed his deep shock and called for calm. He drew comparisons with previous attacks involving migrants, raising concerns about rising tensions surrounding migration. A suspect with a history of violence has been arrested. Despite feelings of anger and grief circulating in the community, Herzing emphasized the importance of not generalizing the actions of one individual to an entire group, striving for unity amidst tragedy.
I feel as if my own child had died or my brother had died or been injured... I think it's the same for many others.
We can and must never attribute the act of one individual to an entire population group.
There are parallels with other attacks where a migrant injures and kills innocent people.
The attack has ramped up Germany's debate on migration ahead of elections on February 23.
