Stabbing incident in Mannheim - Strobl claims that deportations serve as a general deterrent.

In response to the inquiry about how the violent Mannheim incident could've been averted by stricter deportations for lawbreakers, considering the suspect hadn't been found guilty yet, Strobl stated: "Deportations also hold a broader preventive impact." He admitted that he wasn't certain if the particular situation could've been stopped, saying this. Strobl brought up the possibility that the individual might not have carried out the act had he contemplated facing deportation to Afghanistan. "Currently, he doesn't have such concerns."

A 25-year-old Afghan pulled a knife at an anti-Islamic protest on Mannheim's market square last Friday, assaulting six males, including a cop. The 29-year-old later perished due to his wounds. Following Friday's deadly knife assault in Mannheim, cries for stricter expulsions of criminal foreigners are intensifying.
