German Chancellor Friedrich Merz made headlines in Germany this week when he said that Syrian refugees should now be repatriated back to their home country since the Syrian civil war is over.
He sure has a point.
That point was underlined this past Wednesday in Dresden when a 31-year-old Syrian man went on a rampage on the street, attacking several people with kicks and punches. One woman had to be taken to a hospital. During his arrest, the Syrian man was heard shouting, "Allahu Akhbar" over and over.
The man was subdued by a bystander and held until police arrived. Rather than be taken to jail, the suspect was taken to a psychiatric hospital. Sometimes it seems that is standard operating procedure when one of these characters commits a crime.

Bloody attack in Mickten (Dresden): Man attacks several people
By Lea Kluge and Jakob Anders
Dresden- On Wednesday morning, calls of "Allahu akhbar" echoed through Leipzigerstrasse in Dresden. A psychologically disturbed man (31) attacked several people, including women and children. He was involuntarily committed.
As the police informed TAG24, at 10:05, the 31-year-old initially attacked a 29-year-old woman with a small child with punches and kicks at the Alttrachau streetcar stop on Leipzigerstrasse.
He then attacked a 67-year-old female driver who had stopped and gotten out of her car with punches and kicks.
Shortly thereafter, the man attacked another female driver (64) who was stopped in her auto on Leipzigerstrasse. He punched his victim through the driver's side window.
An eyewitness (37) hurried to help and was also attacked by the 31-year-old man and struck. In spite of that, the passerby managed to hold the suspect until the police arrived.
Officers arrested the Syrian national. During (the arrest), he chanted religious slogans.

Because the 31-year-old man was showing psychological symptoms, he was involuntarily committed. He is currently in a psychiatric hospital.
"The political statements have nothing to do with the man's apparent psychological symptoms," explains police spokesperson Marko Laske (50). The man was not under the influence of drugs.
The 64-year-old woman had to be taken to the hospital, (while) the other three persons were treated at the scene.
The Syrian is now being investigated for assault with bodily injury. What drove the man to his brutal act is unclear. The investigation is ongoing.
Initial report at 15:08, last updated 16:33.
