SJS? GI stabbed in Ulm, Germany
2013-04-02
Filed in "non-WoT" until we get confirmation.
The article is in German. Here's a short summary:
A 26 year old GI stationed in Stuttgart and a companion (US citizen) were attacked by two men on Sunday 12:30 AM.

The two Americans had left their parked car and were on their way to visit a friend's home when they were verbally accosted by two men "with short black hair."

The verbal confrontation escalated in mutual pushing and shoving, then a fight started between the 26 y/o and one of the 'men.'
The aggressor suddenly pulled out a knife and stabbed the American's neck. The attackers then fled. The 27 y/o American was unhurt and the account of the confrontation is based on his testimony.

After surgery the victim's life is no longer in danger.
I suspect SJS because of what's not included in this story, and because so far it's been buried in local news.
The witness heard the attackers talk. Yet there's no account of what was said, what the fight was about or even any information on language or accents.

#4  A skinhead attack would fit the narrative and thus be prominently featured in national news.

Also there's the strange omission re the content of the verbal confrontation. The second American wasn't hurt and witnessed everything.

The description of the perps isn't really helpful and yet there's nothing in the article concerning their language and/or accents.

The attackers might indeed turn out to be skinheads but the authors of this article (and the editors who buried this in local news) believe otherwise.

#3  Or some white supremest "skinhead" group. Were the soldiers black? The description of the "short" hair might be a clue.
