I forgot to mention the southport stabbing took place this July and was followed by england-wide rioting in August. something to watch out for in Germany.
there is a sense of security fatigue. people who have the experience to know better are still resistant to personal search, still expect to be able to take suitcases full of personal belongings into spaces where there are going to be a lot of people.
even in here in liverpool people are incredulous at the enhanced security even after witnessing the consequences of spree killings on our community just this year.
i'm not experiencing security fatigue. Primo Levi's advice on fascism applies to so many things "it happened before, therefore it can happen again"
