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.

Sexual Terrorism is also a very old form of guerrilla warfare.
Time to fire up the ovens at Auschwitz-Birkenau .
Conan - what is best in life?
To crush your enemies, to see them driven before you and to hear the lamentations of their women!
Women better start wearing head to toe Berkas. If not you are insensitive to multiculturalism and you deserve what you get.
Welcome to the age of Nouveau PC... Polemic Correctness.
Islam = Submission.
Okay time to get over this phantasy that these beasts are Muslims. In real world, Muslims do not ever drink, take captagon pills, rape and molest women. Does not happen.
The reality is that Middle East/ North Africa is loaded with wahhabist heathens.
They pretend to be Muslims, but they are just mercenary punks.
And now they have been hired by the Western Mafia to destroy liberal-progressive Europe.
They are very useful indeed.
we only allow certain allies to build a wall around their country... sorry!
we did not...we were against it...
Ha! We paid for it, and still we pay.
we also pay your ISIS friends...so what?
They seem to have enough Polizei for the Germans, just not the rapists and muslesters
Your safety is not the primary purpose of the police. The safety of the political class is their primary purpose.
They are not looking out for you.
Your safety is a secondary benefit when they feel like giving it out.
Frau Merkel is just the help, just like in the US. The bankers are the ones running the show and they want western civilization to end. It doesn't benefit them.
<=== Vote... Murqell Is Destroying Germany.
<=== Vote... Ingenious Murqell Is Saving Germany.
The right to asylum... non-citizens have rights? Citizens don't have the right to assemble without fear of assault? It's getting a little to topsy turvy for me...
I don't know about Germany, but in the US non-citizens absolutely have rights. All the rights enumerated in the Constitution apply to human beings, not just US citizens. That was the whole issue with the 3/5ths clause and all the other ridiculous rationalizations of slavery.
swmnguy
Non-citizens have legal rights not political rights. Asylum is a political right whose status can vary depending on political will. It is not a constitutional issue as the constitution only applies to US citizens.
Both of you are right. Non-citizens do not have all the rights of a citizen, but neither do they have none of them. The US Constitution is a description of both legal rights and rights in general. It describes a viewpoint.
Listen America, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, UK, Ireland, and Europeans: Now we are all German, Swedish and Finnish.
Frau Merkel, PUT UP THIS WALL! Before we put you inside 4 of them. Or worse.
Warning & Absolute Guarantee to ALL violent, non-civilized Muslims: "You come near one of my family members or friends, and I'll slice off your dick, dip it in bacon fat and shove it down your throat. Then I'll gut you and piss on you, before I set you on fire."
And woe the the statist moron who gets in the way of such Retribution: If you're lucky, you'll get the Samuel L Jackson's Ezekiel (Pulp Fiction) speech (Ezekiel 25:17), before I pop your cap. Because "I am indeed my Sisters' Keeper".
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.
p.s. To you III%, Oath-breaker fags and chicken-little w/e warriors: Are you organizing & mobilizing (like ADL or AIPAC would), or are you having another Weekend Warrior retreat? LMAO.
You do know that it is disapproved -of and frowned -upon to resist the abuse that is being foisted on us, don't you?
Actually it is racist to resist or protest.
The German police attacking tax paying Germans while ignoring raping muslims.
Merkel and all the German and European politicians selling their own people plus the lying media & cops backing them need to what Mussolini got.
Mohamed was nothing but a war mongering child rapist whose rabid sub-human followers have been at war with everyone on Earth who is not like them since the cult of Islam was founded.
Hence the Crusades.....cause they finally realized....you just can't deal with these people.
Thomas Jefferson's greatest achievement was sending a can of whoop ass over to those people. Sadly, it's not taught in school.
American men and women taken as slaves.
Held for randsom. Anglos were sold in markets along side arabs and negros.
Weak states paid continual randsoms for their citizens ( the ones that had political help, connections ).
At one point the United States was paying some 10% of it's federal budget in tithesand randsoms to the Barbary Muslims..
Barbary Wars
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barbary_Wars
Mohammed was just one in a long line. It all started with a madman named Abraham.
Um, yeah...wrong. Mohammed had nothing to do with Abraham, and there is no historical evidence that he is descended from him. Mohammed simply claimed this in order to manufacture some legitimacy for his "religion" that was merely an outgrowth of Baal worship, an extremely unsavory cult based on infant sacrifice that even the depraved Romans had found so thoroughly repellent that they stamped it out centuries before.
It's not about mohammed or Abraham. It's about their derivatives.
Interesting. Same as the ticking time bombs in the financial markets. It's always the derivatives.
The Arabs derive from Abraham, as I recall. They were not then Muslims but genetically half brothers to the Jews with Abraham as the common parent. Scripture states they would always be at odds, to put it mildly.
There is no war like a war within a family.
Not talking about genes. I'm talking about memes.
And Judaism and thus Christianity are both born of the Baal Moloch worshiping cult as well. Never heard anything about Islam having any sort of additional connection with that.
Islamic marauders attacked, sacked, and utterly destroyed European cities for 300 years with impunity, hence the Crusades. That is not taught in schools. Even after the Crusades, more than a million Europeans were kidnapped by Islamic pirates and sold at their slave markets.
On the coast of Ireland, the town of Baltimore was surrounded and emptied by Islamic pirates who took everyone prisoner for sale in the slave markets.
If one gives heed to stupid academians, the Islamic world was peacefully working on medical advances and engineering projects when the mean Crusaders showed up and wrecked everything for nothing.
And the Deus Vult aspect of the crusades was largely to motivate the soldiers.

~"yes all Muslims aren't rapist.But Mohammed wasn't exactly a respecter of women. he was more of a weirdo."~
Bullshit, strannick. Any one who is complicit with rape is a rapist. And ALL OF ISLAM is complicit with rape. And murder, and theft, and extortion. The Qur'an, the Sirah and the Sunnah all concur that Mohammad was a plagiarizing, extortionistic, incestuous, lying, thieving, mass-murdering pedophile-rapist-pirate. That's a fuck of a lot more than "wasn't exactly a respecter of women". And Mohammad is today the EPITOME of how Muslim men should behave. So YES, ALL MUSLIMS are rapists or abbettors of rapists. It's fucking high time to stop giving Islam and "peaceful Muslims" a pass on the evil Islam is.
You forgot slave trader, he was big into trading women and child sex slaves .Hence the recent Isis Islammic court judgements on who has "sex rights " on slaves taken as booty. Unbelievable that this guy is a "spiritual" role model for what ? over a billion humans ? I mean Hannibal Lector looks more like a good Samaritan compared to this nightmare of psychopathy.
He was stoned out of his brain most of the time, and relied on the support of his rich merchant wife. What a man (not).
When the cops stick their fingers up vaginas and rectums ... is that rape?
Or, is it just OK when it's done by the State's agents?
I could think of a stronger word for someone that married a six year old.
Yeah but it,s ok , he waited until she was 9 before he consumated apparently . So ,you know, kind , merciful and "loving" were his guiding characteristics. Oh and patient , I forgot patient, 3 years is a long wait for a horny "prophet" , thank allah for abundant slaves ,eh
not all musloids are rapists, but it sure seems that all rapists in sweden, norway, finland, germany, england, and france are musloids.
more like sexual deviant
But Mohammed loved little children, unfortunately that love was pedophilic in nature.
Muslims are going to regret their rejection of Western science when push comes to shove as it will. They just don't understand fully ionized plasma-until they become one.
Swiss performance artist Milo Moire goes nude in Cologne sex assault protest
artdaily.com/news/84217/Swiss-performance-artist-Milo-Moire-goes-nude-in-Cologne-sex-assault-protest
If only we had protesters like that in America. The Swiss beat us in every way.
You have plenty of them in America. She is no difjferent than the models who pose nude for PETA/Antifur protests or the women "rights" group who must make their statement by getting topless (mostly young ones thankfully) while marching. Just another opportunist who uses the situation for their personal gain and attention or to support a political agenda for which they will be compenstated (pussy riot).
Personally, although I would not encourage anyone to sexually assault those who act as she/they do, I would not fight to stop it either.
She is not real (the orange shoes on), I am also suspicious of the one picture above with her holding a placard, also looks dubious. I am a graphic artist, and I tell you she is fake.
They look real enough to me. And I hate silicon.
As cold as it is out there, those nipples can probably cut glass...
