I just visited my parents back in Germany and read about a case in the local newspaper: A guy stabed a man 30 times - the victim only survived due to ER surgery. There was no racial background mentioned in the article. The perp - not a youth - was not charged with murder but rather aggravated assault <i>without intend to kill</i> and received a three year sentence. Laughable. The sentence would have been even lower if the perp was considered a juvenile criminal (i.e. younger than 21). The sentencing for violent crimes is ridiculously low in Germany.

Just fascinating to see the benign and even peaceful aftermath of violence. The absence of visual evidence serves as evidence of the act itself.
