33 y.o.German tourist travels to FL specifically for the purpose of murdering a child so she can be legally murdered in the electric chair,attacks 4 y.o.girl w/knife at beach,but inflicts no serious injury
Joe1orbit
I have often stated that by choosing to sanction and commit legal murder of
it's own victimized creations, your diseased society ABSOLUTELY causes MORE
enraged societal victims to COMMIT illegal murder, than would be the case if
society acknowledged that it has no right of any kind to even CONSIDER
punitively punishing, much less legally murdering, any of it's individual
victims turned justifiable predators.
The below news item is just one example that demonstrates the undeniable
truth and accuracy of my insight, that the practice of legal murder serves, as
it should, to ENCOURAGE and increase illegal murder. Over in Florida, a 33 year
old German gal named Angela Ursula Lehmann is facing attempted murder charges,
after she attacked a 4 year old girl, a complete stranger, and threatened/tried
to kill her with a knife, on a public beach. A bystander managed to wrestle the
knife away from Angela. After her arrest, when police began to interrogate
Angela, it became clear that the ONLY real reason that Angela had chosen to
commit this attack, was because she WANTED to be legally murdered in the
electric chair. That is WHY she grabbed the four year old and tried, albeit
unsuccessfully, to drown/stab her to death. I have no doubt that the ROOTS of
Angela's rage and hate are firmly anchored in her own childhood and life
traumatizations and abuses. But still, she CHOSE to undertake this attack in
Florida, specifically because that state had a legal murder/electric chair form
of perverse brutalization.
Angela is being held without bail, and a judge has ordered her to undergo
mental competency tests. Well, I can assure you of one thing, NOTHING this gal
did indicates her to be any MORE mentally ill, than amerikkkan society itself,
which chooses to engage in the legal murder of it's cotizenry, while
hypocritically preaching that "murder is wrong and unacceptable and a sin".
Police sat that Angela very specifically told them that she WANTED to go to
trial, get convicted of murder, and get sentenced to the death penalty. Her
home country of Germany, being Superior to amerikkka, has NO death penalty law
on it's books.
The four year old attacked girl, who was on vacation with her Sacred Family
Unit, suffered no serious injuries at all. I really think that Angela was NOT
all that serious about killing the girl. If she had WANTED to kill a child, she
could easily have done so with her knife, right on the beach/sand itself. It
makes no tactical sense for her to have paddled out into the WATER, grabbed the
4 year old, and threatened/tried to drown her. Drowning a person to death is
FAR more difficult than knifing a person to death is, especially in PUBLIC.
Angela arrived in Florida on Saturday, with a very SPECIFIC plan and desire
to MURDER someone, so that she would get caught, put on trial, found Guilty,
and legally murdered in the electric chair. Well, she certainly did make this
vacation a memorable one for herself, even though she failed to successfully
carry out her chosen child murder mission. See folks, a person like this gal,
who WANTS to die, is the most FEARED predator of them all, when it comes to
attacks on CELEBRITIES or politicians. The secret service fears a gal like
this, MORE than it fears any republican or political fanatic. Because any
attacker like this gal, who has no value for her own life, is far more likely
to actually UNDERTAKE a surprise, ambush attack, even if she knows the odds of
success are not in her favor. And in doing so, an attacker GAINS the ADVANTAGE.
The advantage of surprise, determination, and simply TRYING the attack, is
HUGE. So many people THINK about committing an attack, but never actually do
so. But a person who WANTS to be legally murdered, who wants to die at the
hands of her/his society, HAS to undertake a major crime, in order to have any
chance of getting their wishes/desires met.

Associated Press news wire:
German Woman Held in Knife Attack
FORT MYERS BEACH, Fla. (AP) -- A knife-wielding German woman intent on being
executed in Florida's electric chair tried to drown a 4-year-old girl but was
thwarted by a bystander, authorities said.
Angela Ursula Lehmann, 33, of Berlin, was jailed without bond Thursday after
being charged with attempted murder. The judge ordered a mental evaluation.
``I've been involved in hostage negotiations and all kinds of different things
... but I've never had a situation where someone wanted to go through the full
extent of the criminal justice system,'' sheriff's Lt. James Nygaard said.
``That's a new one on me.''
Police said Ms. Lehmann wanted to kill someone in Florida so she could be
convicted of murder and get the death penalty. Germany has no death penalty.
Erica Roza, 4, suffered only minor cuts on her chin and thumb after being
attacked Wednesday. She was visiting the beach with her family from New York,
floating in a plastic inner tube, when Ms. Lehmann, wielding a 10-inch knife,
grabbed Erica and told her cousin, ``If you call the police, I'll kill her,''
Nygaard said.
The girls and other children around them started screaming. Ms. Lehmann tried
to dunk the child about 50 feet offshore, police said.
The children's screams alerted the girl's mother, Kelly Roza, and bystander
Gary Angotti, vacationing from Arlington Heights, Ill. Other bystanders ran to
a nearby sheriff's substation and got deputies as Angotti swam out and pulled
the girls away from Ms. Lehmann, police said.

German woman jailed after attacking girl with knife
FORT MYERS, Fla. (AP) - A German woman who told authorities she came to Florida
planning to kill someone because the state has the death penalty on Wednesday
attacked a 4-year-old girl at the beach, police said.
The child, who was visiting from New York, survived when a bystander pulled the
girl from the knife-wielding woman.
Angela Ursula Lehmann was being held in the Lee County Jail without bail on a
charge of attempted first-degree murder.
Deputies said Lehmann told them about her death-wish plan.
On Wednesday, she headed to Fort Myers beach in search of a victim.
Erica Roza of Milton, N.Y., was in the water with her cousin, Deanna Baker, 8.
That's when police said Lehmann spotted Erica and headed for her, holding a
10-inch filet knife. She pulled Erica into deeper water, telling Deanna ``'If
you call the police, I'll kill her.'''
The girls and other children around them started screaming.
Lehmann, 33, started dunking the child under the water about 50 feet offshore.
The children's screams alerted Kelly Roza and bystander Gary Angotti,
vacationing from Indiana. Other bystanders ran to a nearby sheriff's substation
and got deputies.
Angotti swam out and pulled the girls away from Lehmann.
Erica received only small cuts on her chin and thumb. She had arrived in
Florida late Tuesday with her parents, Richard and Kelly Roza.
Lehmann, who arrived in Fort Myers Saturday, told LTU International Airways
officials she had no money. They helped set her up with a German couple in Cape
Coral.
They had no idea that Lehmann was plotting to kill someone in order to be
convicted, get the death penalty and die in Florida's electric chair, said Lee
County Sheriff's Lt. James Nygaard.

German tourist ordered to have mental evaluation in attempted drowning of girl
Friday, March 26, 1999
By MARY KELLI BRIDGES, Staff Writer
One day after a knife-wielding German tourist tried to drown her, 4-year-old
Erica Roza was back with her family splashing in the water off Fort Myers Beach
on Thursday, trying to put the bizarre incident behind them.
Angela Ursula Lehmann, 33, of Berlin, Germany, is being held without bond in
the Lee County Jail, pending a psychiatric evaluation ordered by a judge
Thursday. She is charged with attempted first-degree murder in connection with
Wednesday's attack on Erica. She is under constant supervision, at the request
of Sheriff John McDougall, said sheriff's spokesman Larry King.
Lehmann told deputies she arrived in Florida on Saturday with the plan of
killing someone, so she'd get convicted of murder and sentenced to die in the
electric chair, said King.
Authorities say she chose Roza at random, and had it not been for the quick
action of a bystander who rescued the girl, Lehmann might have succeeded.
On Thursday, the girl's family and authorities were still trying to make sense
of what happened.
"I don't know why she didn't take the knife and kill herself and save everyone
the pain and sorrow?" asked Kelly Roza, Erica's mother. "This is the most
important person in my life. I can't understand why she would want to do that."
Roza, her husband Richard Roza, daughter Erica Roza, 4, and niece Deanna Baker,
8, came to Fort Myers from Milton, N.Y., Tuesday for a two-week vacation. On
Wednesday, the family headed to Fort Myers Beach for a swim.
While Richard Roza parked the car about 12:30 p.m., Kelly Roza watched her
daughter and niece wade into the Gulf of Mexico at Lynn Hall Park. Erica Roza
was wearing a plastic floating device.

Kelly Roza said the next thing she remembered seeing was a woman pushing Erica
under the water. She said she ran into the water and started screaming for
help.
When Baker approached her younger cousin, she said the woman put a knife, later
described as an 8- to 10-inch filet-type knife, to Erica Roza's throat.
"She said, 'If you get the police, I'll kill you,'" the girl recalled Thursday.
"I just started screaming for Aunt Kelly."
Gary Angotti, of Arlington Heights, Ill., was one of the first to hear Roza's
pleas for help.
"I think he just looked at the terror on my face at first and I don't think he
thought twice," Kelly Roza said. "I can't thank him enough."
Angotti quickly grabbed Erica from Lehmann's arms, Kelly Roza said.
A floating device wrapped around Erica was largely credited with saving the
girl's life, King said.
Lehmann told deputies she only stopped trying to drown the child when she
noticed several people coming the child's assistance, according to Lehmann's
booking sheet.
Deputies arrived a short time later and went in the water to arrest Lehmann. A
bystander retrieved the knife, which had been dropped, and returned it to
deputies.
The incident has left Kelly Roza angry toward Lehmann.
"I hope she's locked up for the rest of her life," Roza said.
She said she has tried to explain to her daughter, who slept in her parents'
bed Wednesday night, that the attack was an isolated incident.
"She knows that woman was a mean woman who tried to hurt her," Roza said.
Erica received a superficial wound on her chin and thumb, but didn't require
medical treatment.
Kelly Roza said the fame returned to the beach the day after the incident
because it was important for Erica to know that this was a random attack and
they shouldn't let it ruin their vacation. She said Erica was adjusting well
and that the family plans to remain in Fort Myers and may visit Bush Gardens
before leaving the state a few days after Easter.
Lehmann arrived at Southwest Florida International Airport on Saturday and told
authorities there she needed a place to stay.
She was put in touch with German tourists staying in Cape Coral. Lehmann, who
had about $600 in American dollars with her, paid an $80 security deposit and
$350 to stay the week at a place owned by the couple. Lehmann had a two-way
ticket and was scheduled to return to Germany in two weeks, King said.
The German couple invited Lehmann to the beach Wednesday, but wasn't aware of
the woman's plans, King said.
Vice Consul Thomas Koppmann, of the German Consulate in Miami, said Germany
doesn't have capital punishment and the most severe punishment a convicted
murderer could get in that country is life in prison. Defendants would first be
evaluated to see if they are competent to stand trial, he added.
"I, myself, have a big question of the mental health of this person," Koppmann
said of Lehmann.
Koppmann said the consulate is willing to get Lehmann in contact with attorneys
in the area who speak German, but he wouldn't say if he's done so. He said also
said his office has made contact with Lehmann's family, but he wouldn't give
details.
Public Defender Robert Jacobs said his office was appointed to defend Lehmann,
but he said he has yet to assign the case to an attorney. An employee in the
office who speaks fluent German, David Parrick, was at Lehmann's first
appearance hearing in court Thursday, but he declined to discuss anything
Lehmann might have said.
Dr. H. Range Hutson, of Boston, said he's studied the phenomenon known as
suicide-by-police and he said Wednesday's incident sounds similar.
Suicide-by-police is when a person is suicidal, wants to be killed by law
enforcement officers and threatens the officer or a civilian with a lethal
weapon to force the officer to kill him.
The largest difference in Wednesday's case, Hutson said, is that Lehmann wanted
to be killed by the state instead of by officers.
"If the state kills her, the state looks the perpetrator of the violent act,"
Hutson said. "She didn't want to victimize herself. She wanted to be victimized
by the state."
Ultimately, Lehmann was crying out for help, Hutson said.
"Did she really want to die?" Hutson asked. "I'm not sure."

German tourist tries to drown child at Fort Myers Beach
Thursday, March 25, 1999
By MARY KELLI BRIDGES, Staff Writer
A German tourist tried to drown a child at Fort Myers Beach on Wednesday, four
days after she traveled to Florida because she knew convicted killers could get
the death penalty in the state, authorities said.
"She apparently wanted to die in America," said Larry King, spokesman for the
Lee County Sheriff's Office.
Angela Ursula Lehmann, 33, of Berlin, Germany, was being held without bond in
the Lee County Jail pending her first appearance in court today on a charge of
attempted first-degree murder.
Lehmann is accused of randomly selecting 4-year-old Erica Jean Roza, who was
vacationing with her family in Fort Myers from Milton, N.Y., and then trying to
drown the girl, who was in a plastic flotation ring in the Gulf of Mexico near
Lynn Hall Park, King said.
"The woman was drowning her, and the only reason (Erica) kept coming up was the
flotation," King said.
Roza's 8-year-old cousin, Deanna Baker, Roza's mother, Kelly Jean Roza, 37, and
an unidentified man came to the girl's rescue, King said.
When Baker approached her cousin and the woman, Lehmann held a knife to the
younger girl's neck and threatened to kill her if police were called, King
said.
Roza's mother and the unidentified man were successful in getting both children
away from the woman. Erica Roza received a superficial wound on her chin
because of the knife, but didn't need medical assistance, King said.
Deputy Robert South, who was working the spring break detail, arrived within
minutes and arrested Lehmann, King said.
The knife was recovered in the water, King said.
King said Lehmann, who speaks broken English, arrived at Southwest Florida
International Airport in Fort Myers on Saturday and told airline personnel she
needed assistance. She was put in contact with German tourists who were staying
in Cape Coral.
The tourists, whose names weren't available Wednesday, were with Lehmann at the
beach, but unaware of the "planned attack," King said.
