The court hearing just ended. The attacker was a Polish guy who was blackout intoxicated by alcohol and drugs during the incident. He is known by local police from previous episodes in which he has been mentally "unhinged". He does not recall the episode other than being positively thrilled to meet the prime minister. He was ashamed of his actions.

I'm specifically asking to avoid misunderstandings. Are you saying that this happened because the PM is female and ofc a male specimen would hit her? What are you saying?

Well, I listed multiple aspects that would be a compounding factor. Overall, males are more conservative than females in the western surveys done. Furthermore, the majority, by a long way, of violent assaults are perpetrated by males.

Add to that the increase in violence perpetrated by right wing groups in recent years, the odds are good that she was targeted.
