    The 43-year-old suspected burglar, who wasn’t named, was among four men who tried to force their way into an American family’s home in the town of Landstuhl on Sunday.

    Prosecutors in nearby Zweibruecken said Tuesday the 41-year-old American father managed to fend off the men using a kitchen knife, stabbing one of them several times.

    The robbers initially fled by car, but then placed the injured man on a sidewalk while his 51-year-old brother called for help. The younger man died, while the older was arrested by police.

    Prosecutors say the American is being investigated for bodily harm leading to death, though authorities are considering whether he acted in self-defense.

    What the Amaleikim do not seem to get is that if they broke into his home, by definition he acted in self defense.

    ?Self Defense???
    Perhaps they only wanted to share their warm beer with him.

    Those krauts don’t know what they are doing; in another case, a few months ago, an Israeli Professor, was visiting the city of Bonn, on a lecture. He was wearing a Kippah, when he was attacked by several Arabs, who grabbed his Kippah, and ran. He ran after them, and tackled one of the Arabs, and got his Kippah back. Then, the dumb German cops came, and roughed the Israeli up, and detained him, claiming he was at fault! What chutzpah! The Mayor of Bonn, eventually apologized. The Chief of Police of Bonn was supposed to have conducted an internal investigation. Don’t hold your breath waiting for the results.
