Germany: Hamburg Sees Massive Increase in Shootings and Stabbing

I think it’s obvious what is to blame here: Grand Theft Auto.

We need to cancel the release of GTA 6, or these shootings and stabbings are just going to keep getting worse and worse and worse.

Violent crime on the streets of Hamburg has reached unprecedented levels according to the latest figures from the state’s interior ministry.

In the first half of 2023, there were 193 reported stabbings across the city, up 23.7 percent from the 156 reported in the same period of 2022.

The number of shootings also soared, up 30.9 percent from 55 to 72 from January to the end of June.

Hamburg-Mitte was the borough with the most violent crime, recording 27 shootings and 85 stabbings in just six months. Harburg was second with 15 shootings and 28 stabbings, while Wandsbek recorded 24 stabbings and Nord 11 shootings.

Almost half of the population of Hamburg-Mitte is made up of ethnic minorities, which presumably means their shawarma is really, really good.

Dennis Thering, the opposition CDU’s parliamentary leader who requested the data from the government, described the figures as “alarming” and called on SPD Interior Senator Andy Grote to “finally act to stop such Wild West excesses” in the region.

“We need more no-weapons zones, more video surveillance, and organized crime must be fought more intensively,” he added.

According to data published last month by Statista, Hamburg is the region ranked third-highest in Germany for crime, with 11,394 crimes recorded per 100,000 people. Only Berlin (14,135) and Bremen (11,784) rank higher than the city, although all are significantly higher than the 6,762 German average.

Anyway, even if this is all just the result of immigration – would you really prefer to not have insanely tasty kebab?

Are murders really that big of a deal, when you’re comparing them to delicious ethnic foods?

Totally worth it
