Cancelled: Previous Fasching Children's Parade in Nuremberg

-Nuernberg Stadtportal

It is Fasching Season in Germany, but due to the threats of Islamic jihad attacks in the country, many cities are canceling or restricting certain events associated with Fasching. Munich has already canceled certain parades and events. Now Nuremberg has decided to cancel tomorrow's scheduled Children's Fasching Parade due to security concerns. The major parade scheduled for today has been allowed to proceed.

That says a lot, doesn't it, when a country has to cancel a traditional celebration, especially for its children, because of concern that some jihadist(s) will go on a rampage and murder innocent children.

Nuremberg: After Islamists on social media called for attacks, among others, in Nuremberg, the city sees the first consequences. An event will not not occur.

As the city of Nuremberg is reporting, the 45th Nuremberg Children's Fasching parade on Rose Monday will not take place. "Numerous institutions, who normally participate in the parade, have, as a precaution, canceled their participation due to their reduced sense of security." The Fasching Parade for Children traditionally goes through the inner city and is organized by the city of Nuremberg Youth Office.

Due to recent threats, workers and helpers, as well as parents, expressed concerns. But it is more than the individual security feelings of those involved independent from the police assessment, stressed the city administration. In order to enable the girls and boys to have the "most carefree" Fasching, this year instead of the parade, "Fasching Care packages" will be given out. These contain donuts and children's punch and will be distributed by the Parade Team of the Youth Office on Rose Monday.

The major Nuremberg Fasching Parade will still take place

After a comprehensive security meeting between the city of Nuremberg, the organizers, and the police, the administration has decided that the major Nuremberg Fasching parade on Sunday, March 2, 2025, will still take place. The reason for that is that the security assessment of the police remains unchanged. There are currently no indications of specific dangers or new findings. The officials assume that the threats are intended "to create unease in the population". For the major events, therefore, there is a "heightened abstract danger". 

The current security concept already consists of extensive measures. "Especially the access streets along the route between Bayreuther Strasse (street) and Vordere Ledergasse (Gasse-narrow street or alley) will be monitored." There should also be a large police presence at the site.

Columbia/Barnard Degenerate Into Chaos

Barnard College

Barnard College in New York City is an affiliate of Columbia University although they are considered separate campuses. Last month, two students from Barnard were expelled for their actions in taking over a class on Israeli history at Columbia. On Wednesday and Thursday of this week, the Barnard campus was taken over by protesters demanding that Barnard reinstate the two expelled students. As a result, two employees were assaulted and one required hospitalization. 

How this will play out in terms of disciplinary measures remains to be seen, but at first glance, it appears that Barnard has not shown any strength in dealing with the pro-Hamas thugs and thugettes. But when people are assaulted, it demands the strongest punishment. That means people need to be prosecuted and expelled. 

Below are three articles dealing with the latest disturbances. The first is from the Washington Free Beacon. The second is from the Barnard campus newspaper, the Barnard Bulletin. The third is from the Columbia Spectator. As you might guess, the two campus papers are loathe to criticize anything the pro-Palestinian thugs and thugettes do.

Today, in the wee hours of the morning, a French police patrol in the area of  Boulogne-sur-Mer (Pas de Calais) came across a man on the street carrying a knife. When they stopped to talk to him, he took off and then came at them with two knives in hand, according to police. He was also shouting, "Allahu Akhbar". The end result was that the man was shot in the thigh. He is not further identified except he is around 40 years of age and previously known to the police and courts.

Armed with knives, he reportedly threatened police to the cries of, "Allahu Akhbar". A 40-year-old man was wounded by a gunshot by police and then placed in custody at Saint-Martin-Boulogne (Pas de Calais) early Saturday morning.

According to our information, around 4 am, a man carrying a knife, was spotted by police on a street in Boulogne-sur-Mer. The Anti-Crime Brigade patrol (BAC) decided to check him out. It was there that the man took out another blade from his backpack and threatened the officers while shouting, "Allahu Akhbar".

Despite using a taser gun on the fanatic, and a (non-lethal) bullet launcher (LBD), the police could not overpower the individual. One of the members of the patrol then fired two times in the direction of the suspect's leg. The (suspect) is wounded but is not in life-threatening condition.  

Wounded in the thigh by a police officer

According to the prosecutor's account, the Anti-Crime Brigade officers were in a "sector impacted by burglaries" when they observed the man and talked to him from their vehicle. The man then took out two knives and threatened them with death. When the individual walked away with his knives, they followed him, and he then ran towards them asking them to shoot. A first officer used a taser gun two times then an LBD, without effect.

The man reportedly took off before coming after the officers a second time. Another officer then fired two times with his firearm, wounding him in the thigh. The police then discovered that the man "had covered his torso with cardboard boxes."

Already known to the courts, the man in his 40s was convicted four times between 2012-2023 by the Boulogne-sur-Mer Criminal Court for driving under the influence of drugs, drug use, death threats, and insulting a public official.

Mother of wounded man also hospitalized

The emergency personnel have confirmed that they responded around 04:15 "for a person wounded by a firearm," after an attempted attack against a National Police team," and transported a man to the Boulogne-sur-Mer hospital center in "absolute urgency", as well as the mother of the wounded man (65) "in shock" but not medically treated.

He was finally placed in custody under police surveillance at the hospital. Two investigations have been opened: One for attempted homicide of police and another assigned to the office of the National Police Inspectorate General in Lille (IGPN) in connection with the use of arms by police, the national prosecutor, Guirec Le Bras, indicated.

The Handover of 29 Mexican Narco-Traffickers to the US: From Mexican Press

Rafael Caro-Quintero in custody on US soil

 This week's handover of Rafael Caro-Quintero and 28 other Mexican kingpins to the US is making headlines in Mexico. The below article from yesterday's Excelsior is translated by Fousesquawk. Apparently, it was something other than a formal extradition as I had previously reported.

Sending 29 kingpins to US, due to risk of being freed or delaying extradition: Garcia Harfuch

Garcia Harfuch says that the rights of the 29 transferred persons were respected. FGR (National Prosecutor's Office) clarifies that it was not extradition.

The delivery of 29 narco-traffickers, among them, Rafael Caro-Quintero, and the brothers Miguel Angel and Omar Treviño Morales, founders of Los Zetas, to the United States, was because the risk existed that they would be freed by judges, or that the extradition process would be further delayed, said Secretary of Security, Omar Garcia Harfuch. 

"The risk existed that some of the targets sought by the government of the United States would be freed or continue to delay the processes of extradition due to agreements with judges who sought to favor them as had already been done on other occasions," said Garcia Harfuch in a press conference.

The head of the SSPC (Secretariat of Security and Civilian Protection) claimed that the 29 kingpins who were sent to the US as a result of a request by that country, committed "atrocious" crimes in Mexico and acts of "extreme violence" through the criminal organizations to which they belonged and represented a threat to national security in our country and the North American country (USA).

No violations of reprieves for the kingpins sent to US: FGR (Attorney General of the Republic)

The Attorney General of the Republic, Alejandro Gertz Manero, stated that there were no violations of reprieves or protections of the 29 kingpins who were sent to the US since it was not an extradition, rather it was a different process based on the Law of National Security, specifically Article 5, which established the conditions to carry it out. 

"Reprieves cannot be violated by a procedure that is unrelated to those reprieves," the prosecutor said when asked if the sending of the 29 narco-traffickers wouldn't bring a judicial crisis to the country.

Gertz Manero explained that the United States government had made a formal and (well) grounded request for the 29 narco-traffickers, so the National Security Council was convened, which after an analysis, determined that it had complied with the legal basis and proceeded to carry out the transfer.

"It was a specific written request, soon after it arrived the National Security Council convened, an analysis was made at that meeting, the legal basis was seen, and (the Council) proceeded. It was an immediate matter," he explained and said that it was not an accelerated process or had anything directly to do with the decision of the US government whether to suspend the tariffs.

Are the kingpins sent to the US facing the death penalty?

After the State Department made it public that at least 6 of the 29 narco-traffickers, including Rafael Caro-Quintero, could face the death penalty, the head of the  Attorney General's Office chose not to speculate since it is the judge who is responsible for determining the sentence.

"The penalties for trial sanctions are not established by the State Department, they are established by the judges, and we have a clear agreement that legislation, like that of Mexico, which does not have this sanction, must be respected where we have agreements of collaboration," he said.
