Cologne Mayor Slammed For Telling German Women It Is Their Responsibility To Keep Rapists At "Arm's Length"

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Earlier today, we brought you an eyewitness account of the melee that unfolded in Cologne, Germany on New Year’s Eve.

Allegedly, hundreds of 18-35 year-old males “of Arab and North African origin” robbed and sexually assaulted women gathered in the city center. Assaults were also reported in Hamburg and Stuttgart. Authorities are attempting to discern if there's a connection.

Ivan Jurcevic, a hotel club bouncer who was on the job (literally) in Cologne when the trouble started, had the following to say in a video posted to social media: "These people that we welcomed just three months ago with teddy bears and water bottles ... started shooting at the cathedral dome and started shooting at police. Well seasoned police officers then confessed to me that they never saw something like this in their entire lives. They called it a 'civil war like situation.'"

Here's an account from a woman who claims to have been a victim of an assualt:

"The men surrounded us and started to grab our behinds and touch our crotches. They touched us everywhere. I wanted to take my friend and leave. I turned around, and in that moment, someone grabbed my bag."

That is of course the last thing Angela Merkel wants to hear. The Chancellor is struggling to convince Germans that Berlin’s open-door policy for Mid-East asylum seekers isn’t set to tear the country’s social fabric apart at the seams.

For some, the events that unfolded on New Year’s Eve validate concerns about the risk Germany is running by bringing 1.1 million migrants into a country with a population of just 82 million. "Mrs Merkel, is Germany 'colorful and cosmopolitan' enough for you after the wave of crimes and sexual attacks?,” AfD party leader Frauke Petry tweeted.

"Ms Merkel where are you? What do you say? This scares us!,” read a sign held by one of hundreds of protesters who gathered in the city center in Cologne on Tuesday.

For her part, Cologne mayor Henriette Reker called the attacks “unbelievable and intolerable” but then suggested that the victims should have acted different to avoid getting themselves into trouble. She also seemed to suggest that perhaps those responsible for the attacks were simply unaware of Germany’s cultural norms.

Now, Reker is drawing sharp criticism for her contention that women in Germany should adopt a “code of conduct” as a kind of rapist repellent.

“In her first public appearance since the incident, Reker instructed women on how they could protect themselves,” Huffington Post writes “The proposed code of conduct included telling women to stay in groups, not be separated, always try and keep their distance and always stay an arms length away from strangers.”

“There’s always the possibility of keeping a certain distance of more than an arm’s length – that is to say to make sure yourself you don’t look to be too close to people who are not known to you, and to whom you don’t have a trusting relationship," she said. "Women would also be smart not to go and embrace everyone that you meet and who seems to be nice. Such offers could be misunderstood, and that is something every woman and every girl should protect herself from," Reker continued, digging herself an even deeper hole."

She also advised women to not be in a celebratory mood.

Needless to say, the comments created a veritable firestorm on social media. 

German Justice Minister Heiko Maas was note amused: "I don't think much of the how-to-behave tips for women such as #anarm'slength. It is not women who are responsible, but the perpetrators," he wrote, in a tweet.

Later, Reker would say that the media made it appear as though she was confining her prevention suggestions to women when in fact, she also had advice for would-be assailants. To wit: "We need to explain to people from other cultures that the jolly and frisky attitude during our Carnival is not a sign of sexual openness."

You'd be forgiven for suggesting that perhaps some German politicians are going out of their way to avoid applying negative stereotypes to migrants. 

In any event, Germany's "jolly and frisky" attitude toward refugees is disappearing quicker than a handbag in Cologne on New Year's Eve and one wonders how long it will ultimately be before the public simply revolts against a government they feel is powerless to protect their property, person, and borders.

If Germans (Swedes, French, English, Americans, etc) are stupid enough to offer amnesty and the benefits of citizenship with no strings attached, the barbarians are smart enough to accept it.

Why is anyone even surprised, much less outraged?

The sheeples are surprised and confused at the realization that "their government" really could not care less about them, that they've been sold down the river. Once they've overcome the grief, I guess we could see some sort of reaction.

But the underlying issue here is that the German People turn to Ms. Merkel and say "Are you listening, this frightens us." While the fear is justified that is how a child reacts, they look to an adult for protection. The German people need to rise up and understand that reliance on government is equivalent to long term suicide. Being able to stand on your own is a must. This includes defending yourself. The Germans are great, hardworking people with a legacy of exceptionalism in everything from warfare to invention. They only need to realize that relying on their government to handle this problem is suicide. Defend yourselves at any cost, don't let any pompous self-absorbed crim... ahem politician tell you what is safe and what is not.

Why is it that all of the progressive socialist feminist activists have that same stunned and dopey look on their blank faces when all their social engineering masterminding blows up in their faces?

We didn't pick him. He was vetted by some shadowy, nameless, deep-state group. Elections, especially national elections are a type of faith-based religious exercise.

As an example, check this out. US presidential election votes counted in Spain, by Spanish (most likely Zionist) company. Its from 2012.

I have to believe most of the incidents in Germany are happening on account of slutty German behavior.  Don't dress like a hussy or harlot, for chrissakes, and even the Muslim men will treat you with respect.  Most German woman walk around with massive cleavage showing, I assume because they want to be titty-fucked.  If you don't want to be titty-fucked, start acting respectable.

Yes, yes, yes....rape is ALWAYS the women's fault. Men are not responsible for their natural animalistic traits. And people who work and save to have anything of value are to blame for incentivising thieves to rob us, again appealing to men's natural thieving traits. Damn them....damn them all for tempting us so!

It's already happening in America, look at the increasing number of towns and cities that are becoming violent, third world hell holes. The "authorities" have nothing to say about it, just how evil Whites are. Whites will be a minority in America by 2050. Sorry, you're in the exact same boat as the Germans.

Multiculturalism is a prescription for all of the West. No one is getting out of it until they grow a pair and destroy the forces pushing the agenda. That, or we will become extinct.

Perhaps the real answer is to turn European men back into men, kick out the racial invaders and put women back in their natural place; behind strong men.

Abrahmic religions are bound to destroy each other because they are founded on violence & bloodshed, their gawd, allah & yahweh demand sacrifice, killing & blood.

(In eastern religions all creatures are considered related to each other due to rebirth concept, so all creatures (animals & insects too) are considered as father , mother, brother , sister to each other in some past life in ancient times, imagine , what if, its true , what great sin it is to hurt any creature, not only that , the very life in every creature is considered sacred as another part of almighty supreme)

Islam does not recognize non-muslims as humans, acts of muslims on infidels such as rape, looting, hostage taking, killing, cheating etc are not recognized as crime so they are permitted 

hence...

Yes, and they will take us all down with them. The white population is disarmed, mentally and physically. It makes me ill to see Europeans embracing, welcoming these animals into their midst. Watch these videos of children singing and declaring their country is now the immigrant's country. evolution turned on its head, the fittest, the obvious superior, committing suicide in mass.

Yeh, that Christ bloke (you know, the one whose followers are called Christians) was really into blood and destruction stuff.  Or did someone get the new Testament wrong?

And all those Japanese invading and destroying during and before WWII, and Mao Tse Tung murdering tens of millions of Chinese, or Lenin and Stalin doing the same in the Soviet Union in the name of communism, no doubt everyone of them closet Abrahamics, not to mention that porky nutter in North Korea.

again, Soviets were then following the western ideology created by Karl Marx , a German who lived in England.

Lenin , Stalin & Mao were only believers of materialism as the final truth(similar to that is prevalent in west today , its called consumerism)

Japanese did not invade America , its America that makes claim to many places as its own for its illegal military bases, actually as the means to threaten other nations.

& North Korea is a Hero becuz its against west , again N.Korea has not yet invaded America nor any western country, why western countries want that every nation should behave just like them, every nation has its own culture & values, just dont impose a$$Licking&CockSuckingHomosexuality, drugs abuse & gun culture to other nations , try & get what what you r getting. 

Remember, the revolt against East India Company of British in 1857 started because East India company forced its native soldiers to bite the fat covering their bullets , it was made from cows & pigs fat which the natives so much hated that they became ready to fight their british bosses at the cost of their lives. Thats what culture does.

What you said about Islamists, at least the fundamental and extreme variety, known as Wahhabism (from KSA), also applies to Talmudists.

It's highly probable that Mohammed, who dealt with Jews and Christians extensively, knew about and read the Talmud and NT Bible.  Prior to his writings, each Arabic tribe had their own imaginary Deity (Magic Kirk), or ~500 such fantasy Magical Sky Captains.  Under Tribalism, you were either IN or OUT, in every way.

Mohammed was a psycopathic nut and much of the Koran exists to justify his whims.

Hell his sayings are damned creepy. For example, the cross-dessing.

http://www.answering-islam.org/Responses/Abualrub/mhd_cross_dressing1.htm

Much of what's left of Islam is a mix of Indian Vedic tradition and Baal worship. It's really a cut'n'pasted religion which was created to justify anything that he wanted to do.
