Well, sometimes bigotry doesn't stop at words

[Wyrd of Gawd]

Henriette Reker won the mayoral elections at Cologne in a landslide. That's the good news for her. The bad news are that she's in an induced coma, having been stabbed yesterday by some bigot being against her immigration policy. Good job for the fear and hate mongers. Their idiot foot soldiers will do the dirty work for them.

Henriette Reker, an independent close to Merkel’s ruling Christian Democrats (CDU), suffered serious wounds to the neck in the attack in the western city of Cologne, which is to elect its mayor on Sunday, on Saturday morning.

Police arrested the attacker at the scene, with regional police chief Wolfgang Albers describing it as a political act linked to the fact that Reker was “responsible for taking charge of refugees” in the city, the fourth largest in Germany.

The good news is that the attacker didn't use a gun.  The bad news is that Reker was seriously injured, maybe to the point of death.  But since she wasn't shot we won't be swamped with 24/7 news about how evil guns are.  Even if she dies of her wounds it won't make the news here because she wasn't shot.
