A former mayoral candidate in the small southern German town of Loßburg claimes was savagely beaten by a group of six men dressed as members of an ancient cult of pagan witches as he exited a carnival celebration earlier this month, the Telegraph reports on the ongoing witch hunt.
Alexander Kebeck, 43, who launched his political career after being fired as the general manager of a national supermarket's local branch for refusing to order his team to wear masks on the job during the pandemic (hence the "Corona rebel" branding), got his ass kicked in both the 2020 and 2024 mayoral elections in Loßburg and its larger jurisdiction of Freudenstadt, respectively, and then got his ass kicked by men dressed as "Heimbach-Hexa" carnival witches this year, per Merkur.
"A witch jumped from behind and hit me in the back, brutally knocking me to the ground. Then a total of six witches kicked me," Kebeck told German tabloid Bild, adding that several of his ribs were left broken. For its part, the Hexa have denied involvement and are cooperating fully with cops on the witch hunt. "Our association strongly rejects violence, hatred and incitement," a Hexa member said. "We stand behind the motto for every carnival fool: For everyone's joy, for no one's suffering."
It should be noted that this "association's" costumes are hideous and scary as fuck.
