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.

GO AFTER THE LEADERS behind the allowing of these people (large percent military age males) to flood your nations.
Either the right wing or left wing camps are allowed a voice on these matters, but not any views that encompass the larger picture. Just keep your views tunnel focused and you fit in, but don't ever bring up the larger picture and the need to look at decades of policies surrounding the Middle East. NOTHING is being said about WHO has allowed it and WHY.
So the Right wing protests only serve those who have orchestrated the nation-flooding of some of the most anti-European minded individuals possible.
How do you stop the fucking Islamists when the #1 hoodlum in the world, the US supports Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Egypt, Bahrain and the UAE? And not only supports them but acts as their air force, their intelligence service, their diplomatic service and on and on. You Americans who are on here screaming about justice better get your fucking priorities straight.
There's a difference between the People of the United States and the Gubbamint of the United States.
Gubbamint of US = Thug. People of US = NOT Thug.
Oh really? Then who were the people, exactly, who fought in the Civil War. Were they all 'government thugs'? Who were the solidiers who massacred 500 nations of native people, starved them to death and put them on reservations. Where they 'government thugs'? Who were the people who invaded Mexico? Were they government thugs too?
If so, then it seems to me that you've had this problem with 'government thugs' for nearly 200 years now. Doesn't say much for your basic level of intelligence now does it.
You have NO grasp of history.
You are an idiot, with not one iota of historical perspective. You are too stupid to be allowed.
Go drink Drano, fool.
Yes, because 150 years ago, I fought in the Civil War and killed a bunch of Injuns, jackass.
You are bitching on the wrong website, go say that on the huffington post and they will agree with you and maybe send you money as well. Otherwise fuck you it's not my goverment anymore the imigrants are running it.
It ain't Americans. It's the .001% with their mercenary protected islands that are hell bent on enslaving all those that are not them. Maybe the Donald will start selectively billing the scum of the earth for protection. It would be just. Hear me Canada-Mexico...
No I don't. Can you be a little more specific. Are you suggesting that you have a 'right' to steal our money because you think you deserve it? Boy are you ever fucked up. You should get yourself to a hospital right away, before they gun you down.
And a small word of advice to you. You take one fucking step across the 49'th in an agressive mode, and half the world will be here before you can take your next shit.
Now that you, as a representative of 'the donald', have outed some of your more agressive intentions, perhaps we need to give Vlad a call and get a few hundred Iskanders sent over, along with a few dozen S-400's. That will keep you down on the farm.
Canada? You think people would help Canada? Oh my... against the US? Someone forgot to take their medication. Cute that you're up on Russian propaganda. Drunk ass 18 year old Ivan and Boris with their super weapons. Too much internet for you boy.
Uh, first of all, we happen to be in NATO, so yes I do. Germany, France, Great Britain, Australia, India, New Zealand and very likely Russia and China, if asked. A few years ago I was doing a defence contract with a group of Aussies, and one day out of the blue one said, 'you know, if you ever have any trouble with the Americans, we will be there in a flash'. It's you who doesn't know shit. We don't need your bullshit F-35's, they can't be used in the Canadian climate, they are useless anyhow and they are way overpriced. Your F-18's, even the super hornet version only has a 350 nm combat radius, that is useless in Canada. You're Abrams are far outclassed by the Armata and we make much better field artillery than you ever did. What we really need are Russian Sukoi SU-30's and SU-35's. They are superior in every way including combat radius and patrol distance. Their stand off air wepaons are twice as good as anything you have. Their airframes and engines are superior. And they are much cheaper. ANd compared to your pathetic 'patriot' missiles system, the Iskander and S-400's will eat you for lunch. With one torpedo, that the Russians can fire from 10,000 miles away, they can destroy your entire Atlantic fleet and half the east coast and you have no way of defending against it. The Topol-M ICBM comes in at 16,000 miles per hour while avoiding defensive missiles through a complex randomizing algoritm. If they ever fired those at you, you would have seconds to react. Those are the FACTS.
You fucking Americans think you rule the world, when you don't. You're weapons systems are phoney, they are easily defeated. You are phoney. We beat you back in 1812-14 when we had 1/8'th the number of fighters, most of them farmers. If it wasn't for the stupid British, America would be Canadian now and you wouldn't have all the problems you do. We took Paschendale, Vimy Ridge, Ortona, the Scheldt, Rotterdam when you couldn't and saved your glorious Patton and the entire invasion from defeat. One Canadian is worth 10 Americans in battle. Our snipers outclass yours by a country mile. That was always the case. The one thing that Americans appear to be 'good' at is wasting hundreds and thousands of lives taking ground of no value. Hamburger Hill, Gettysburg, Khe San, Iwo Jima. It isn't 'glorious' to die in battle following some lunatic commander who wants to make a name for himself, it is glorious to survive battle, and win. But you're too fucking ignorant and indoctrinated to know that and I just know you don't care anyhow.
If you knew anything of what you are talking about, like I do from having reasearched these things for months now, you would know that your battle plans are useless in today's world. You're own decorated Marine Brigadier General said you would be wiped out in a direct battle with the Russians in 10 days, with you entire Command Staff gone. Your Pentagon has atrophed right back into the same useless bunch of arsehole bureaucrats you had in it during the Civil War.
These aren't illusions, these are facts, and I am no 18 year old Ivan drunk on Vodka, you consummate American cunt.
Uh, first of all, we happen to be in NATO
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHA!!1!!!!!!1!!!!11111!1!1!!!
It's ok folks, move along...nothing to see.
He's Canadian...they're harmless even when frothing.
I like how anyone disagreeing with the islamotrash invasion is a 'far-right extremist.'
Since when did NOT wanting to be enslaved and raped become a 'far right extremist' ideology?
That's the standard accusation of those on the Left.
It's how they keep ordinary concerned people silent, create the societal mess that we have and introduce ever more laws and regs against free speech.
It's fucking amazing how fast the libtard parasite can eat the brain and render it's host helpless isn't it?
What's even more amazing is how, in the space of one generation post WWII, the psychopaths who took over Washington have managed to destroy their hosts, and the world economic system along with it.
70% of rich families lose their wealth by the 2nd generation
90% lose it by the third generation.
It's such a phenomenon that the Chinese have a saying for it. "Wealth does not pass three generations".
Only a very tiny percentage are able to create generational wealth. America is at the fritter it away on useless crap stage of the process. The next generation, is going to get NOTHING.

Or, as my dad used to say "Clogs to clogs in three generations".
When the governments of the world stopped hiring nazi goons and started hiring communist goons.
You know what buddy, living by the law of the jungle, forming vigilante groups to carry out 'your law' because you don't agree with 'the law', is not a very good idea. Sooner or later you become the prey, either because of your economic situation or your family or your political beliefs or whatever.
If you want to change things, then start with the government and follow the LAW. If both parties are as bad as each other then start a grass roots movement for a third party candidate. Seek out the people who can and will lead, because they have a lifetime of experience and they know how the system works. If 70% of you don't want either a republican or a democrat then get out and protest, not in the hundreds, but in the hundreds of thousands. Everwhere. Don't sit there and moan and complain about the way the system is, change the fucking system, if you have the intelligence and the balls to do it, rather than just deciding to run around shooting and killing people that don't look or act like you do. Find Lawyers who will bring these laws to the Supreme Court pro-bono, because they have a moral obligation to do so. Stop feeding the system with trips to Walmart and Burger King. Learn how to be much more self sufficient. Hit them economically, politically, socially, peacfully.
That is how you are going to change things.
1) I am an historian, and I can tell you your idea of 'vigilante justice' does not appear to be in line with the historical facts.
2) I NEVER said anything about vigilante justice; that was some wild ASSumption on YOUR PART. You do know what happens when you ASSume something?
3) Your faith in the political and legal systems is utterly misplaced. FACTS about the present workings of these systems is in DIRECT CONTRADICTION to your ASSumptions about their workings.
You ASSume a lot of things, don't you?
Perhaps you'd better stop all that ASSuming before it's too late?
Idiot.
"I am an historian". No, you aren't. I've read your posts. You're the worst type of moron. You think you know something because you read a couple of books and imagine that's just as good as someone with a libarary and lifetime of knowledge. You've adopted things you like the sound of and are now, largely a repeater of bullshit. Go fuck yourself.
I have a BS in History, assklown
EAT SHIT AND DIE, MORON.
ASS-hole
you sound like a right winger, not wantin to get raped and all, what's with you man
This could get really ugly.

I am starting to believe that the wrong side won WW2
No doubt about it.
If the crime was groping then our new Muslim friends *were* on their best behavior, and should probably be awarded medals or something.
You've got to be kidding me. Z'Germans are just like #americant. They react to something without even contemplating what it's really about. This is not about female harassment or refugees. This is about the failure of a patriarchial world, western world, that can't figure out how to dig itself out of the shithole it's dug itself into. In the mean-time, the babes gotta deal with touchy-feely like never before. Or maybe not. Good luck suckers. Rant on.

"failure of a patriarchial world". Kill yourself, faggot.

God ! In short an attention whore...
Welcome to come by my place for attention at any time, day or night, as long as I'm home.
Sorry I am not Gay :) But I don't venerate slut like all you mangina do !!! I have high standards !
Where are the beards? If they have them they are well trimmed... someone knew the images of refugees flooding in with the standard giant muslim beard wouldn't play well in the media and had them all follow suit.
Well-coordinated.
"Right wing" is euphemism for patriotic peaceful people of one country who desire not to be invaded by millions from an imcompatible delinquent culture, run over by globalists for their own NWO purposes, and then be given the courtesy of increasing their taxes to pay for these invaders.
As my grandpa used to say, why beat the dog, and then clean its poo? Why did France encourage the jihadis against Assad, and now why inviting the Syrian refugees with open arms? neither is warranted.
As my grandpa used to say ...
"Dog? - that's good eating ..."
I wear my SS helmet that was owned by a Knights Cross winner 4th Polizei Division... I wear it sometimes when driving my dirt bike. I bet you can't do that in Germany.
I should take it with me a on bike trip to Eagles Nest.
Last time I was at Nuremberg rally grounds I gave the old salute while standing at the podium. I always do that when I go there.
Soon it will back in style. That's what's needed.
Let us hope it is NOT back in style. Your entire post is a gift to the Pro-Islam/Migrant Regressive Left.
The necessary understanding that informed people like myself are trying to get across is that Islam = Islamofascism. Islam is a political ideology more than it is a religion. That is the reality. That is why Islam is so dangerous and must not be tolerated in secular Western societies.
The Misogyny of these Muslims on NYE is just more of the same violence that Muslim immigrants have been instigating for the past 30 years. Muslim rape gangs targetting children in Rotherham (>1400 victims) started in at least the 1990s.
Islam values INTOLERANCE over tolerance, demands that each individual sidestep innate moral concerns/conscience and demands that the faithful ignore their sense of empathy for the other (including Women) as they pursue Mohammad's example of oppression and tyranny.
Calling on Hitler/NAZI ideology is, therefore, a self inflicting wound on our campaign against Islamofascism.
You are just jealous... Of course Hitler was bad in many respects, but in other ways he had good ideas.
He should not have attacked Russia
He should not have occupied France, what was he going to do with Frenchmen.
Poles were killing German speaking people. He should have just taken back German land taken in WW1. Besides, I am selling my helmet.
This intolerance you speak of, did you forget last time muslims took over Spain and Portugal... there will be new wars over this.
What's with the down votes. I give the Roman salute too, wear my Stalin hat, I even go to Florida the land of more oppression in the past 50 years with Bush's wars and CIA baddness. I even use US dollars. Sometimes I go to the former head office of the British empire that oppressed millions... don't be so liberal.
Islam is a political ideology more than it is a religion. True
It's an invasion and the Right is at war with the left and the immigrants. That kind of behavior, groping of your wife and daughters, only happens in a culture of unarmed people. Germen men are going to have to step up.
Thank God for Texas
Hitler was a great fan of Islam, actually.
Not to mention he was bankrolled by the same people encouraging uncontrolled Muslim immigration to Europe today. Phase one of their plan---the destruction of the competition posed for dominance by European Jewry---was accomplished, with most Holocaust survivors fleeing to the US or Israel.
Phase two, the destruction of Christian civilization, is still ongoing.
Icepicks ladies...icepicks....

All of it.
