Thousands Flood The Streets In Germany As Fury Over Refugee Sex Assaults Reaches Boiling Point

Update: the water cannons are out as is the tear gas:

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.” 

DailyMail

“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.

Interesting tidbit about Germany: in the 1990s they ran a gay musical version of "Storm of Steel" (classic traditionalist/individualist novel about WWI). Tells you everything about the current German political climate.

If someone wet me on a freezing day while I was demonstrating peacefully, I'd be royally pissed. Wont forget it easily just like the poor rape vicitms will not forget easily.

 

While Abdul and Mohammed are High-Fiving it" in their gubmint/taxpayer funded apartments, the vicitms have to work hard to overcome the emotional trauma.

The people of Europe need to wake the fuck up and do something.   They open their society to the globalist agenda, they should expect the results.  Proliferation of chaos is part of the master plan.

After translating some of the signs, I am confused.  It seems like Europe wants to be conquered.

I think it's time for a lot people to watch the greatest story never told. The history I was taught at school was not as accurate and was fairly distorted against the German race. More to do with Zionism and the One Bank, and Adolf was just whipping boy for them as he showed their financial system for the fraud it was/is. And we are all slave under that system today.

The only answer is to set up asylum cities, like in the United States. Then at least, Germans will know for sure where they cannot safely go.

 Robert Putnam inspired a line of reasoning that allows liberals and conservatives to agree on what needs to be done:

It's not about race or religion. It's about social capital and cultural trust! The nordic countries are very "High Trust" cultures. High trust cultures develop good governments and good economies. Only high trust cultures can built welfare safety nets. People from low trust cultures see this as a "soft target" to abuse. Furthermore, most of these imigrants are fit young men. Allowing them to immigrate undermines the country they came from. They need to be back home supporting their families there.

You've given them a taste of an advanced society, now its time to send them back to see if they understand how to advance themselves.

"Migrants who commit crimes should lose their right to asylum, German chancellor Angela Merkel said on Saturday"

The fact they don't already, shows how poorly thought out this all is. Or was it?

"how the world remembers one of the most indelible and revered politicians in European history."

hahaha riiiiiight.

You'll have multiple mass shootings on one day in Germany this year. 500+ dead type horror. Some children raped... just hell and still, you'll have scum that defends these savages. Those types need to be remembered on the day of the rope.

The East Germans know how to build a wall.  Plowed strips to detect tresspassers. Dog runs with mean dogs (life expectancy 2-3 years from exposure). Mine fields. Manned guard towers. Special political approval to live within 10 klicks of the border. A real fence.

They do. Problem is, the master class never get serious about border security until it becomes necessary to keep their slaves from escaping. The Wall's job was to keep Germans in, not Muslims out.

Oh, yes. The bolts holding the metal fence to the metal posts and the head of the bolt on the East German side, and the nut on the West German side.  East Germans rarely knew this though, because travel near the border was prohibited unless they lived there. 

But the knowledge how to do it is still around.

This rupture of the social fabric has been percolating beneath the surface for quite some time.  As far back as 2012, when I spoke to our host families in Germany and Austria, they were clearly angry about the coddling of the Islamists and the very real failures of the Schengen Agreement.  The socio-economic fault lines in Western Europe seem to parallel those in the USA, except the Euros don't have guns. Central and Eastern Europe have decisively rejected the Brussels DIE-versity cramdown.  The uproar and pushback over the multi-city NYE sextivus was a mere shark bump tho IMO.  It was a test and probe. The jihadis will observe and adjust as needed.  What the NYE attacks should do is wake people up that there are already tens of thousands of primed Jihadis already embedded in Europe and the USA, and what that means WHEN not IF this kicks off.  Matt Bracken wrote a prescient predictive essay posted at both GoV and WRSA back in Nov 2015; his thesis was reviewed and updated by former anti-Terrorism expert Partyzanski and posted today.  It's a long read, but I *HIGHLY* recommend people read it and share it far and wide.  The track record of terrorist attacks and the sheer number of potential future victims is hair-raising. http://

More Nazionism.

Allow uncontrolled immigration, and kill stable societies, all so moneychangers can ramp up their rule: the Wolfowiz Doctrine, and Project for a New American Century, the tactic and strategy for a 'Greater Israel', using the blood and treasure of the West, as per usual. Filth.

Cultural Marxism, Frankfurt School, Gramsci in action. Ruin all, so their small hateful tribe can rule. They hate the Constitution and Bill of Rights, and seek to bring their failed Euro politics to the USA.

No, no, no.

Divide and rule is a very old game. Pay attention.
