The era of open borders should be teaching Europeans that you need to be careful who you let into your house. The horrifying story of Herdecke, Germany’s newly elected Social Democratic Party (i.e., leftist) Mayor Iris Stalzer might be instructive:

Stalzer was airlifted to hospital after police were called to her home on October 7, with officers discovering gruesome evidence of abuse believed to be at the hands of her 17-year-old adopted daughter.

This was confirmed by Stalzer herself, who miraculously survived.

Stalzer had 13 stab wounds to the upper body as well as multiple hematomas and skull fractures. …

She described to police a shocking timeline of events in which her teenage daughter tortured her in the house’s basement for hours.

In addition to being stabbed with knives and having her head bashed, she was scorched with a makeshift flamethrower.

When police investigated these claims they found one of the knives used in the attack in the backpack of Stalzer’s 15-year-old adopted son. They also discover bloodstained clothing believed to belong to her daughter. …

Police initially arrested both children but the pair have been released after the public prosecutor’s office decided it would not pursue an attempted homicide charge, downgrading the crime to the German equivalent of grievous bodily harm.

They were not even arrested.

The pair are currently in the care of the youth welfare office…

Maybe the orphans are available for adoption again. Speculation that they have immigrant backgrounds could not be confirmed, but it certainly looks likely. This might provide an opportunity to signal liberal virtue.
