Full story:
Over the last several days, more information has come to light with regard to the wave of sexual assaults that occurred across Europe on New Year’s Eve.
What some observers initially assumed was an set of isolated attacks in Cologne’s city center now appears to have been a bloc-wide phenomenon as women from Austria, to Switzerland, to Finland come forward to report being accosted by what some police say were gangs of drunken Mid-East asylum seekers.
“In Sweden, police said at least 15 young women reported being groped by groups of men on New Year's Eve in the city of Kalmar,” AP reports, adding that “in Finland, police said they received tipoffs on New Year's Eve that about 1,000 predominantly Iraqi asylum seekers were intending to gather near the main railway station in Helsinki and harass passing women.”
“Women with or without accompaniment went through a literally 'gauntlet' by the heavily intoxicated men masses, as one can not describe it," a clumsy translation of a report by the German Federal Police reads. Some have suggested that the string of attacks was initially played down by the media and by German authorities in an effort to avoid triggering an anti-migrant backlash. Indeed, the mayor of Cologne, Henriette Reker, got herself in a bit of hot water for comments which seemed to suggest it is German women’s responsibility to keep would-be attackers at “arm’s length” and to not send the wrong message to “people from other cultures” by acting too “jolly and frisky.”
Meanwhile, Angela Merkel is attempting to salvage the “yes we can” narrative vis-a-vis Berlin’s refugee open-door policy while simultaneously condemning the attacks.
On Friday, Cologne’s police chief Wolfgang Albers was dismissed in connection with his department’s mishandling of the ordeal.
According to a draft document seen by Reuters, Germany may now change its policy with regard to the deportation of refugees. "The paper says refugees and asylum seekers who have been sentenced to prison or probation should be barred from eligibility for asylum,' Reuters writes. "Why should German taxpayers pay to imprison foreign criminals," Vice Chancellor Sigmar Gabriel asked. "The threat of having to spend time behind bars in their home country is far more of a deterrent than a prison sentence in Germany."
("Respect us! We are not fair game even when naked!" a sign held by Swiss artist Milo Moire reads)
"Women's groups and many politicians have long been arguing that Germany's sexual assault law is archaic, with loopholes that mean groping and surprise attacks are not necessarily prosecutable unless the woman tries to fight off the attack - which police often advise against," Deutsche Welle notes. "There have been very many cases that you and I would probably unequivocally describe as rape or sexual assault that haven't come to a conviction, because the women allegedly didn't defend themselves enough," Elke Ferner of the Social Democratic Party's women's group told the broadcaster.
That law is about to be changed thanks in part to the attention the New Year's attacks have brought to the issue.
And speaking of drawing attention to the attacks, protesters are once again massing in Cologne where "thousands" of demonstrators took the streets on Saturday. "The protesters included the Islamophobic Pegida movement and the right-wing extremist Pro Cologne party" USA Today says.
More than 1,500 police officers were deployed across the city in anticipation of the rallies. Here's more from DPA:
Cologne police are gearing up for a day of highly charged demonstrations, with 1000 far-right protesters expected to hit the streets in response to the mass sex assaults and thefts targeting women on New Year's Eve.
Hundred-strong teams of police were deployed on Saturday to locations across the western German city, totalling 1700 officers, a spokesman said.
The Islamophobic Pegida movement and the right-wing extremist Pro Cologne party were to stage a rally on the square in front of the main train station, where about 1000 intoxicated men are thought to have robbed, sexually assaulted and, in some cases, raped women during turn-of-the-year celebrations.
Of the 32 suspects identified by police in Cologne, 22 are asylum seekers, the German Interior Ministry said.
One suspect was carrying a document with Arabic-German translations of sexist phrases and threats, which mass-circulation tabloid Bild published on Saturday.
Several pro-migration counter-protests have also been planned for Saturday, underscoring the division in German society over the government's open-door migration policy, which allowed more than one million people to enter the country last year.
And from Reuters:
Migrants who commit crimes should lose their right to asylum, German chancellor Angela Merkel said on Saturday, toughening her tone as crowds gathered in Cologne angered by mass assaults on women on New Year's Eve.
Nearly two dozen asylum seekers were among those suspected of carrying out the attacks, police said this week, heightening tensions over immigration and fuelling criticism of Merkel's refusal to place a limit on the numbers of migrants entering the country.
"The right to asylum can be lost if someone is convicted on probation or jailed," Merkel said after a meeting of the leadership of her Christian Democrats (CDU) party.
"Serial offenders who repeatedly rob or repeatedly affront women must feel the full force of the law," Merkel told journalists in Mainz, promising a reduction over the longer term in the flow of migrants to Germany.
Under German law, asylum seekers are typically only deported if they have been sentenced to at least three years in prison, and providing their lives are not at risk at home.
About 1,700 police officers were on the streets of Cologne as protesters, including members of the anti-Islam PEGIDA movement, waited for official permission to march through the city.
At a separate left-wing protest, more than 2,000 mostly women gathered close to the train station where many of the attacks, including muggings and sexual assaults, happened.
So once again, we see a deeply divided society, with right-wing demonstrators staging a kind of "we told you so" rally and pro-refugee Germans staging counter protests even as they decry the wave of assaults.
Meanwhile, the flow of asylum seekers continues unabated. "We had an average influx of 3,200 refugees per day arriving in Germany, and the numbers are not declining in the last days," Ole Schroeder, the deputy German minister, told a briefing in Brussels. "Our problem at the moment in Europe is that we do not have a functioning border control system, especially at the Greece-Turkey border," he added.
Where things from here is an open question but it appears many Germans are at their breaking point. How TIME's person of the year responds may ultimately determine how the world remembers one of the most indelible and revered politicians in European history.

Make sure those Riot Police Earn their PAYCHECK! Till they dont want to defend the Traitor Merkel! Make sure they know its NOT WORTH THE MONEY! As you battle them remind them.. your paying them!
Notice the dusky hue of those in the various 'refugees welcome' demos?
But the MSM will never point that out. In fact the probably scoured the crowd to find whatever German-looking deminstrators they could.
Always speak true: by 'dusky' you mean 'brown skinned savage invaders.'
"Thousands Flood The Streets In Germany As Fury Over Refugee Sex Assaults Reaches Boiling Point"
There about 100 - 200 people protesting... I don't know where are al those thousands hiding... another fake histeria from ZH side.
The other thousands fled when they saw a Latvian potato farmer turn up with a sack of ...erm ...potatoes and began throwing them :-)
At what point are people going to snap and address this situation head on......
http://beforeitsnews.com/global-unrest/2016/01/1000-depraved-migrants-ra...
Haha... it's getting much worse here. That scenario is bizarre but it's coming to a hospital to you soon enough.
Last week I went to the ED with significant cardiac symptoms.
They pulled a slightly abnormal EKG. The doc tried to admit me but I refused because I have a PPO which unfortunately requires me to use the facilities two hours away.
So I declined and explained why I needed to go to another hospital.
The doc would not let me leave. Eventually I said: "Call 911 right now, or get out of my way right now and if I'm not having a heart attack and I do expect to be sued for more than you can imagine."
He moved aside, and my wife drove me to an ED two hours away.
In the future, if I need to go to an ED perhaps I'll bring a weapon to make sure that they let me out.
(As I expected it turned out to be an issue but non-cardiac (I'm a medical professional and in this case believed I knew better than the doc, and did)).
Some of them want to use you
Some of them want to get used by you
Some of them want to abuse you
Some of them want to be abused
...
Who am I to disagree? :)
"keep them at arm's length"
That's beyond stupid. Here's how it works:
15-20-30 guys agree to meet someplace. They find a target.
A few guys start walking on one side, slowly diverting the target off to the side, perhaps to a more isolated place.
Once off to the side, more men press in, now visually isolating the woman from bystanders.
Then surrounded by perhaps 20 men, the arms are grabbed. The women immobilized migth try to scream, if so a verbal threat will usually stop that, if not the threat of "I've got a knife," stops the women from screaming.
Resistance is futile as being held by two or four large men is enough to immobilize anyone.
Now immobilized, off in a corner, surrounded by a group of men blocking any visual contact, the males can do anything they want at leisure.
Immobilized, off, or pulled down come clothing. Then the group can do as much or as little as they want.
If the woman is lucky they will just grope, and insert fingers or objects. If unlucky the woman will be forced to perform oral, or will be raped.
And the stupid Mayor of Cologne says women shoud "keep at arm's length." What amazing ignorance of cultural differences!
This has been a problem in Egypt and is an ongoing problem in Japan (see sharking and/or Chikan). Similar and far more vicious tactics have been a problem in India.
I forget the exact saying, something like the libtard is so _________ that he doesnt know to take his own side in a fight.
conflicted. stupid. whatever. they dont learn until it bites them in the ass.
Communists (they are NOT 'liberals'...there's nothing liberating or libertarian about them, but all of them are totalitarian monsters) are so stupid that even AFTER they're bitten in the ass, they don't learn. How many times have you seen some communist feminist yowling about being raped, but apologizing for her rapist? "I know I was raped by a black man, but he only did it cuz he is a victim of the white male patriarchy!"
You cannot teach anyone that stupid. Better to put them down, like an animal too sick to recover.
Nowhere near the breaking point.
And like boiling frogs unlikely to spring into action until far too late.
Such numbers for a few more years, and it will take civil war to dislodge them.
By then European women will be Arab mothers, just like their sisters under ISIS today, sex slaves.
The news of a wave of sexual assaults in one city, Cologne, Germany, and in one place has caused international hysteria.
On Feb. 27, 1933 the Reichstag, the German Parliament Building, burned down. The Nazis had taken power barely a month earlier. They blamed it on the Communists. The Nazis carried out severe repressions in the aftermath against anyone they considered political opponents, especially Communists.
The way was cleared for the Nazis to do a lot of things that were Really Not Good.
It was later proved to be a provocation carried out by the Nazis themselves.
On the reported sexual assaults:
One-city focus - Cologne, Germany
Earliest report: on Google News: Reuters, HuffPo, Jan. 5

"Germans Shaken By Mass Attacks On Women In Cologne At New Year"
BERLIN, Jan 5 (Reuters) - About 90 women have reported being robbed, threatened or sexually molested at New Year celebrations outside Cologne's cathedral by young, mostly drunk, men, police said on Tuesday, in events they have described as 'a new dimension in crime'.
What took so long?
NyTimes, Jan. 6: "Reports of Attacks on Women in Germany Heighten Tension Over Migrants"
The assaults initially were not highlighted by the police and were largely ignored by the German news media in the days afterward.
This level of sexual harassment is in fact not unusual:
VICE: Immigrants Aren't Responsible for Rape Culture in Germany
An average of ten reported rapes take place each year at Oktoberfest. The estimated number of unreported cases is 200.
People: this is another Reichstag Fire. Don't be played again.
Surely, you cant be serious?
He's afraid of bacon.
Whereas I regularly infuse myself with bacon. It is the candy of meats.
You strike me as an ahistorical idiot.
The Reichstag Fire Was Set By Dutch Communist Marinus van der Lubbe
"Dutch Communist named Marinus van der Lubbe (with some probable accomplices) started the fire. Van der Lubbe (shown above) was caught on the premises. Though he confessed, he refused to name any co-conspirators."

It's the Lesbians.
They want all the women for themselves.
They can't fool me.
Lots of Commies, with GDR flags, there. I don't think they would want a return to those days...
"Lots of Commies, with GDR flags, there. I don't think they would want a return to those days..."
I think that in the current circumstances, their showing of the GDR flag may have a different intended (Prussian) meaning rather than simply supporting communism.
I have come across a few Germans from the East who lament the loss of the way of life in the East. The theme is something like "we had jobs, vacations, health care, education, life wasn't bad, now we're in debt and stressed and there is high unemployment."
Proof positive that communists are ALWAYS idiots.
It's an inescapable fact of human nature that we tend to look at the past through rose-colored glasses. I'm sure communism didn't seem so great at the time, but no one ever bothers to remember the bad parts, because why would you?
Talking from personal experience or self appointed rep of East Germans ?
US is flooded with immigrants from former Socialist / Communist Countries who never looked back or complained. But on daily basis they have to read or listen to amerigos complain and bitch about the system that they had never experienced personaly.
How many illegals from South America's (Capitalist countries) would have given arm or leg that the'd lost on desperate train ride to reach US to have lived in East Germany?
Who knew life would get immeasurably worse?
"Why should German taxpayers pay to imprison foreign criminals," Vice Chancellor Sigmar Gabriel asked.
A truly silly question. The answer, which a politician like Mr. Gabriel should know: According to the rules people go to jail where the crime is committed. In case Mr. Gabriel should not have such basic knowledge he should resort to using some logic: Why would Syria, Iracq, Lybia, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Yemen and Eritrea jail people for doings that seem largely irrelevant to the issues plaguing these countries. They need their jails otherwise. But likely Gabriel is aware of that and he is only trying to soothe the nerves of the electorate: "Our society will not pay for the criminals among the refugees, our society will only benefit from the ones that are willing to integrate themselves" he is obviously trying to say. What kind of stupid rubbish is this?
The major problem seems to be that the brains of our citizens have been washed by the mass media to a point that you can tell people everything and it is believed. It seems we are seeing a revival of the 1930ies in our country.
"The protesters included the Islamophobic Pegida movement and the right-wing extremist Pro Cologne party" USA Today says.
Standard MSM description of anyone not on the extreme, and acceptable, Left.
Also, good to see the German police can mobilize when presented with a group they consider to be the true enemy. Muslims raping women? That's a social problem.
Unlike the disarmed sheep in Germany we in America will kill these refugee trash when they do this here.
You dont need more proof than this that German politicians must be killed if you Germans want your life back:

It really became you or them.
Anyone on here from Germany go to these protests? All layers of government failed to protect these females. Undoubtedly on purpose. Was the gnadige Frau flashing any more gang signs at photo ops while she apologized?
I would again recommend learn how to use a gun and then buy one to defend yourselves. Not only from rapists from the Middle East & North Africa but from the upcoming rape that will be used to attempt to destroy your culture and society.
Maybe they wrote angry anti-immigrant slogans on the backside of their "Welcome Immigrant" signs.
Looks like some savages are going to get curb-stomped next time.
Romper Stomper style curb stomped. That is EXACTLY what needs to happen.
And yet, the left is attempting to shame Americans into accepting into the US, large numbers of immigrants from countries where a large body of the population hates us with a murderous passion, while at the same time disarming us too. if this isn't the definition of insanity, its clearly a coordinated attempt to alter the US landscape forevermore.
TPTB are putting out the bait for these animals......women as prey....Hunger Games.
Gun control is dead in the water. I say, let the refugees in. If I'm wrong about them, no big loss. If I'm right about them, the progressives who want them here are the same ones who will be unable to defend themselves. It will be a hard lesson when they learn that the world is not full of fluffy rainbow shitting unicorns. It'll also be a lesson to those who keep a Glock in their nightstand, but don't carry it everywhere. It does them no good in their nightstand if they're not at home.
Glocks are lousy firearms.
Ergonomics of a 2x4.
As the saying goes, give a squirrel a donut and it wants a glass of milk. Point being, give these thugs a place to live, be nice and tolerant and they'll own you. This will continue until something really bad happens, then a far right response will be exercised and guess what . . . they'll get the message.
Got any more sayings? LOL
LOL is so gay
LOLROLLINGONTHEFUCKNGFLOOR :)
Saying of the year (We'll do the year on a rolling basis).
Any male out there not think there's an agenda here?
If so, get you a sign like the Femme in the pic and demonstrate naked like her. See if those police will just stand there like they are with her.
You'd be arrested and in jail as a nutjob.
"You'd be arrested and in jail as a nutjob"
...if not for exposing a stiffy in public which is unlawful in the UK.
Somebody better tell George Michael...
I agree. The extreme femminist camp, which really doesn't even represent women, is a product of the extreme left wing. The Naked stunts look like women trying to get attention while they ignore real crime victims such as the German women. Men and women need to flat out ignore these women.
And btw, I think a lot of women would find an agenda with this naked idiot as well. I know my wife thinks they're disgusting and do not help women at all.
Once again, a government that alleges to represent its people has turned its water cannons on the wrong targets.
Until the Christian Democratic Union, the Social Democratic Union, The Left, The Greens and others are replaced and destroyed utterly...
Until the National Democratic Party of Germany has power...this will continue.
When the Germans get sense and go full national, and when the NPD gains power--this will cease and the foreigners WILL be expelled completely. From American soldiers to foreign invaders. A break, a clean break.
Wake up Germany. Kick out the foreigners. More than that though, kick out the political whores (and I insult whores with the comparison). Kick them out, put them on trial, and then execute them all.
NPD was right. AGAIN.
