The Only Error that Anis Amri made

Over the decades various ‘government to government’ trade deals were created.    The European Union was the most ambitious.

As many agreements made by Governments,  it had the usual ridiculous aspects.

Anyone who deals with Governments knows how long it takes to go from beginning to end.   The ‘research’ may be a decade old.  It has been created before various changes, so may result in another delay while more research is done.

The ‘climate’ changes between the first meeting and the last, so that by the time the deal is ready for signature the products are no longer required.

However, the E.U. was created and the idea of ‘Open Borders’ was part of it.

The European Union envisioned an Austrian being able to work in France without a  work permit or travel to Norway without having to get documents.

It never imagined millions of persons from the Middle East and North Africa piling into their countries, demanding every kind of right available, and then, carrying on with whatever terrorism comes to mind.

What is so interesting about the Anis Amri case, is that here is a guy, a known criminal, able to play the system with the expertise of a James Bond, not because he is so bright but because the system is so dumb.

Amri,  a 24 year old from Tunisian had come across to Europe and did what he pleased.  He was arrested and served a prison sentence in Italy after being convicted of vandalism, threats and theft in 2011.

During his time in the Italian prison he was extremely violent.  After his release he was asked to leave the country.

Asked.

Now I can’t help but laugh when I read this report from the BBC about Amri being ‘asked’.

This is a guy who knows who and what he is.  He knows why he is not in Tunisia.  He knows what he is planning. He knows if he was in Tunisia he’d have been killed a long time ago.   He knows in any Islamic country his crimes would have resulted in death.  That’s why he is in Europe.   Because Europeans won’t chop off his hand for stealing, or execute him.

In Europe he has ‘Rights’.

So Amri leaves Italy, having been asked,  and goes to Germany.  He goes to Germany easier than a Jamaican can go to Trinidad. He arrives and applies for asylum.

His application was rejected.
Big Yawn.
Amri knows they can’t deport him to Tunisia because he had no valid identification papers.

In Jamaica he’d be in a cell until if/when he got Identification papers.  If that was six years, than it would be six years.   Because one thing about 3rd and 4th World nations, they don’t bend over backwards to ‘please’  anyone. And ‘rights’ are what you have to fight for.

So Amri hears about that Nice thing, where a Tunisian ‘brother’ drove a truck into a Crowd on July 14, killed abut 80 people.
Hey!
That’s nicer than blowing yourself up, and offers the chance to kill and get away.  He figures that’s a really cool thing to do.

He steals a truck… has to kill the driver to get it, but hey, killing is no problem for Amri.  He drives it into a Christmas Market, jumps out and leaves.

I doubt he had to run.  We are dealing with German police here, in Germany,  nothing much to respect.

He had no problem at all whatsoever,  getting on a train to France.  Just committed murder and mayhem in Berlin and can sit and enjoy a lovely train ride, because there is no security.

Once in France he decided to go to to Turin, in Italy.  He takes another train to Milan.  Nothing to worry about. He doesn’t need any papers to cross from one country into another.

Once in Milan he goes to Sesto San Giovanni, which is a ‘working-class area’.

He thought he was absolutely safe.  He forget the little ‘class’ thing; that is if he’d stayed in a middle class area, the cops wouldn’t bother him.  He forgot and went to an area where the cops are busy harassing citizens.  He was asked for his ID during a routine patrol in the early hours of Friday.    This was his only mistake.

Forgetting that at night, and in the early morning hours before dawn, cops will harass anyone they see in poor neighbourhoods.

Amri didn’t have any papers, but he had a gun.  So did the cops.  So he pulled his gun, and fired, they pulled their’s and fired, and he got dead.

He got dead not because he was an Islamic State terrorist, he got dead because the police saw some low class guy in a low class area, and went to demand his papers and he pulled a gun.   As far as the cops knew, he could have been Alfredo Rossi from Turin, an Italian guy.

It was only after he was dead they realised they’d shot a IS terrorist.

The questions Merkel has to answer, as well as all the other members of the E.U., is how does these ‘open borders’ and coddling of ‘refugees’ , have any positive benefit on the countries of the E.U.?

The European Union was imagined and created long before Islamic terrorism existed.   The idea of a Union was not envisioned to make it simple for a Tunisian criminal to leave North Africa, get into Europe and do what ever murders/terrorism he desired,  then travel around the various countries, without the slightest difficulty.

How is it possible that a person can be convicted of a crime in one country and not deported?

Jamaicans who overstay their VISA are rounded up, put into prison, then flown and dumped at the airport.  It doesn’t matter to America that this person has no family in Jamaica,  it doesn’t matter if she is a 43 year old teacher, or a 19 year old drug seller.    Picked up, incarcerated, dumped.

But Tunisian criminals can take a boat to Europe and be treated with such respect that they are ‘asked’ to leave the country; not deported, (for without proper documents the authorities in Europe must bow and scrap) and able to do what they please.

The next terrorist, like Amri, will be wise enough, not to put himself in a working class neighbourhood at night.  For that was the only error Amri made.
