Germany Admits Gross Errors after Neo-Nazi Killing Spree

Admitted on Monday, November 14, the German government had made gross errors in the security services when dealing with farther-right terrorists. Errors specifically made in the 1998 neo-Nazi case dealing with Beate Zschaepe, Uwe Boehnhardt, and Uwe Mundlos (all seen below in that order). This case involved the three guilty of committing murder of nine shopkeepers. It is said that mainly all of the shopkeepers murdered were of Turkish origin. Further questioning of the nine murders has been brought up after a discovery of a pistol was used in the nine murders and that investigators were trying to learn if a larger militant network has escaped their notice. Hans-Peter Friedrich told the daily Bild that “It is deeply troubling that there was no connection made between the murder series across Germany and the far-right scene in Thuringia." These murders have been disturbingly called the “kebab murders” because many of the victims ran snack shops. Bild also disturbingly reported that the killers had shot many of their victims in the face at point-blank range and even recorded and filmed their victims murdered and bloodied bodies as trophies. Uwe Boehnhardt and Uwe Mundlos were later found torched to death in a caravan in an apparent suicide. Wanted for questioning over an armed robbery in Jena, Beate Zschaepe had turned herself in afterwards after blowing up a rented flat in nearby Zwickau.

I find this whole case hard to believe. I firstly find it hard to believe that one would have such opinions and beliefs that were so discriminating, that they would take it as far as to commit many murders and torture those who were related to the victims with their deaths. I truthfully find all opinions and views of Nazi’s quite hard to believe. There is never such a thing as a perfect world, and I don’t think someone should take the idea of a ‘perfect world” so far that they would kill innocent people to achieve this. There may not be such a thing as a perfect world, but my definition of this is much different than those of a Nazi’s. I believe that a perfect world includes non-violent acts of others getting along in harmony, and setting aside their differences for each other and for peace. I believe a perfect world is a multi cultural world where no one is judged base on their origin, religion, sex, sexuality, or disabilities. I find the actions of all Nazis, including those depicted in this story cruel and irrational to a point where I find these actions so horrifying, that it is hard to believe of their existence. I find Beate Zschaepe, Uwe Boehnhardt, and Uwe Mundlos disgusting individuals. I find it even more disgusting that Zschaepe would not care about her actions to such a point where she would ask or even think about making a deal for a lesser sentence, if she gives a full confessional. Through confessional, Zschaepe might confess to many more murders or cruel and unusual acts, but these acts cannot be punished with her sentence being reduced.  I believe that she fully does not care about her committed actions and should be put away for the rest of her life. I do not believe that she is rightfully fit for society and should be put away for along time. With the case being brought up again for questioning, I hope that Zschaepe is put away for a much longer time with the possible event for more convictions being assessed.
