Two Ukrainian servicemen were stabbed to death at a shopping center in southern Germany Saturday evening, by a suspected Russian national, German and Ukrainian authorities say.

German police say a 36-year-old man died on the scene in the city of Murnau, and a 23-year-old man died later that evening at a nearby hospital.

Both Ukrainian men were residents of the district of Garmisch-Partenkirchen and had been in Germany undergoing medical rehabilitation.

A 57-year-old suspected Russian national was arrested at his home not far from the scene, according to German authorities.

A criminal investigation is underway for the suspected double murder.

    Well, ripping down a flag is not peaceful. It’s certainly not violence.

    At the same time, I would be tempted to tear down a Trump flag or possibly even a Russian flag if they were in my vicinity.

      I frequently rip down and throw out Trump signs. I don’t consider it a crime to remove symbols of hate from my community.
