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.

This mess is going to get worse until not only is Merkel gone but the xenophile ideologues (as you call them) are gone from Govt and civil service senior positions as well. And frankly, its clearly not just Germany that has this problem of unthinking extreme pro-immigration cohorts.
It blows my mind to see Italy sending gleaming new destroyers out to pick up refugees, rather than doing all they can to stop them, deter them and turn them back. As long as the front line states keep doing that and stupidly keeping the welcome mat out, the worse civil conflict will get.
I just can not fathom the mentality I'm seeing, the attitude and twisted rhetoric Merkel sprouts is just as disgusting and insulting as its diametric opposite position.
How can so many people not realize how foolish this is? How can people still try to defend this outrageous mess?
This is such an easy target. I can not figure why they don't realize that this will trigger right violence and radical action all over Europe. But it will become increasingly anti-establishment as well. Are the politicians really that completely out of touch with this situation? Are their advisors really that bad at cluing them in? Or do they just not want to know how dumb this is?
I also I can't understand how Germany or Merkel could possibly be considered more popular, "internationally" for doing this? Who were they polling on this? The population of MENA? And really, what the hell does international opinion have to do with this? Or is it another media owner driven figment, to push crazy self-harming agendas forwards?
The whole thing is a weird irrational farce from where I'm looking.
It's not weird or irrational at all. The politicians are doing the bidding of their Jew string-pullers. Same old same old. Europe has had this fifth column inside its borders for centuries. Once upon a time European leaders took the people's side and kicked the Jew out as soon as his treachery reached critical mass, but that was when the Catholic Church was strong all across Europe. Today the Church is effeminate, emasculated, and good-for-nothing. In a word - infiltrated.
And that's the way it will remain until the Church wakes up and reclaims the title "Israel" for itself. War against the Jew must begin and end by stripping them of their inheritance and title. There is only one Israel, and that is the Catholic Church. Not those counterfeit fuckers in the Middle East.
What is rational is to arm all those fighting age "nice" Muslims and send them back to Syria to prove their bravery. Tell them in six months their women, children and pets will be dumped on the shores so they had better win.
Apart from that it is more rational to re-invade the ME, re-colonize it and leave them there. Better to have them in their own lands killing each other than in your own neighborhood running Sharia patrols. I know it is not PC to say but seriously, are you ready to absorb the entire ME population with it's violent, intolerant and sexually barbaric culture? What is the lesser evil.
They were more peaceful and prosperous as colonies. They had the rule of law and the ability to petition. White guys from Europe cared very little if you were Shia, Sunni, Alawite or the tribe on the left.
"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..."
The invasion is clearly against the the best interest of individual Germans.
The "counter protesters" are either bought and paid for or a brainwashed zombies from the now defunct East Germany.
All ossies should be declared untermenschen and given explicit second class citizenship until proof of "de-communization" is obtained.
This is bullshit!!! If anything Germans raised in the east are more conservative, less enamored with the swinging "modern" life of Germany today, and much more likely to be displaced from work by a rising tide of cheap immigrant labor. Your "decommunization" should more aptly apply to global corporatism, the new world order communism of peasants taxed to subisidize the 1 per cent.
If these gropers were Muslim, why were they drinking?
They can't handle a little German beer.
Like Mel Gibson, what's inside comes out when they're drunk.
How do you say Hitler in German?

Taking off all your clothes & standing in the middle of the street only acts as a DETERRENT to the possibility of sexual assault if you're Merkel
Yes, but you have to admit that in winter that is one cool chick in the picture...
only person with balls (well,not exactly)
I admire her also.
However, I have learned form watching blacks in America how to get things done in your favor:
1) elect politicans who represent YOU; and 2) block ariports, crowd obstruct malls, and burn shit down.
"The squeeky wheel gets the grease."
~Old Chinee Proverb
Seems to work for them. germans lecturing the crowd from the podium will not accomplish the goal of stopping their politicans form importing millions moar.
Don't forget protesting on campuses shutting down classes [during finals week, preferably] against all the rayciss food they serve--"Mexican" tacos ... "Chinese" eggs rolls ... "Vietnamese" noodles.
Holy crap, and what about those building names! Drives me crazy to walk by the rayciss buildings every freak'n day [especially during finals]!
It would make me feel less oppressed to rename it 'The Farrakhan Library.'
"Milo Moire is a self-proclaimed “performance” artist from Switzerland, now famous for pushing paint-filled eggs out of her vagina. You can basically see what happens in the image below. There is also a youtube video, with a censored free version, and the “uncensored” paid version, but you will have to shell out five bucks for the pleasure of viewing this “art”. Can you imagine a straight woman shelling out $5 to see Milo’s boobs? I can’t."
[Censored image so it is SFW. The real uncenored stuff costs - a girl has gotta make a living]

"But it’s not art. Milo Moire’s “performance” is attention whoring in the highest degree, but miss Moire thinks she’s so smart that she could be attention whoring while getting paid for it. Still, this is pitiful in the very least. Swiss people have a higher standard of living, yet Milo Moire charges less for her dignity than a poverty stricken Pattaya prostitute."

I guess the author of that article was so proud of it she/he intentionally left off her/his name.
In any case, beauty/art is in the ey of the beholder. Some people think Warhol is art ... some not.
"Performance Art".
What you call it when the porno webcam thing isn't paying off.
I guess Rubens, Monet, etc were "porno" freaks also?
No. Definitely missing.
Going full-beaver is much less shocking in Europe than it would be in the US. There is a magnificent park in Munich (Kennedyplatz?) where people run around naked. Or, they used to.
Team, you are referring to the English Garden, of course.

She should be standing naked with a gun in her hand. Women (not just in Europe) seem to beg for the basic human right not to be assaulted, yet many of those same women will support laws making it illegal for a woman to arm herself and protect herself.
A woman should not need to walk around with a man as an escort, and a man should not be afraid of watching his wife walk out the door alone.
Send her out the door with 2 bodyguards: SMITH & WESSON
All politics aside, Milo Moire looks to be quite a fit young lady.
All that ZOOMba paid off I guess
I wonder if I told her that she had a beautiful body, if she would hold it against me. :-)
Hehe... I see waht you did, there... :)
Isn't she the one that used to walk around naked in a gallery. http://metro.co.uk/2015/02/25/artist-walks-naked-through-packed-gallery-its-performance-art-of-course-5079465/
She has quite the figure, also. I would have to qualify her in the "Masterpiece" category.
"Taking off all your clothes & standing in the middle of the street only acts as a DETERRENT to the possibility of sexual assault if you're Merkel"
Indeed. It will confuse the refugees even more. "What kind of a culture is this?" they'll ask themselves.
Imagine being a 25 year old refugee from some shithole Middle East country and making it to Germany. All your life you'll lived in a culture where whoever's in power makes the rules and enforces them ruthlessly. Religious lunacy reigns supreme. The only women you've ever seen in public have been wrapped head-to-toe in 40 yards of black cloth, and accompanied by their husbans/brothers/fathers.
Now you're in Germany along with thousands of other confused young single males. New Years comes, you look outside, and crowds of people are milling about in the streets half drunk, shooting off fireworks and having a great time. There are no police or local warlords brutally dispersing the crowd. They must have figured all social order has collapsed! They join up with others like themselves and hit the streets, raising Hell and harassing single females. They have no idea that public partying and celebrating is just a normal activity in Germany on New Years, and that the rules of decorum are still in force.
A naked lady holding a protest sign in front of uniformed police officers must be one Hell of a culture shock for them.
Those emasculated german men probably don't know what to do with her either.
Merkel and years of docilization have shrunken the Deutsch testicle to tiny Skittles size. However, any Red-Blooded American would surely know how to appreciate a fine woman like that!

It's only a "deterrent" to Europeans, not to these animals, who'd screw the "crack of dawn", if they could.

"Women's Groups" + Islam = Rolling on the Floor Laughing my FUCKING ASS OFF!
Sorry ladies, ONE OR THE OTHER....in Islam, women are baby makers and THAT's IT!
WHERE the FUCK is HILLARY on all of this? Where are the condemnations? Where's the OUTRAGE! Where's that SHRILL VOICE DEMANDING this stop?
Crickets is all I hear out of the Clintion camp..."Champion of Women" my fucking ass.
Islam and Women in "Paradise":
"Women should not preoccupy themselves with inquiring about the details of their entering Paradise, what they will be doing there, where they will go, and so on. It is enough for every Muslim woman to know that once she enters Paradise, she will forget all the misery and hardships she ever faced, because her life in Paradise will be one of endless happiness"
"The only thing that is for men alone in Paradise is the Hoor (Maiden). Some women may inquire why women are not promised the same."
Hey ladies, guess who gets to play the part of "HOOR" in paradise? Is "Endless Happines" = Eternity as a HOOR? Better ask before signing up...
"The Prophet said: “I never left behind a temptation more harmful to men than women."
Holy Fuck! Imagine the outrage if Trump said that….this needs to be in a Trump commercial…

Well, at least all the American journalists are all over this.
mmm...sorry, on second thought i retract that statement.
Not once has ANY reporter questioned Hitlery about the rape and attacks on women in Europe [or in America for that matter].
Any tears from Soweto Barry on this issue?
What you mean is islam vs woman's groups. Love when competing PC Victim groups run into each other and the feminazis look the other way. As for hillary, " What difference does it make"!!!!
Hillary is just a champion of one woman -- herself.
If you want to be reminded of just how corrupt she and Bill are, watch this video.

It's good to see Bill Clinton out stumping for Hillary....I lived through the Clinton 90's...and one thing I learned about Bill...he is the master of getting HIMSELF elected...but when he tries to "help others", they go down in flames!
Time and again, candidates would be doing well in the polls, they'd bring in Bill to cement the win and THEY'D LOSE! Bill was a big help to the Republicans in creating Newt's "Limbaugh Congress" of the 90's.
If history is any guide, the Hillary camp had better get Bill off the stage and FAST! I'd imagine that's not an easy job...although, she's struggling with Bernie, so maybe they're just using Bill to try and pull over those old Democrats that might be feeling the Burn...I will be surprised if Bill is still on stage if/after Hillary wins the nomination.
" I did not have sex with that woman. "
You're too genteel. In Wahhabi Islam, women* fucking, cooking and birthing machines. To be protected from other tribal animals for obvious reasons.
* 'Woman' = Ready for male sexual pleasures even as a minor.
BTW, did you know that most bacterial STDs originate in the gut/rectum of sheep and goats, and that Napoleon got the Dose while screwing whores in Egypt. It was French and British soldiers who brought that shit back home. The rest is 'history'.
"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."
Talking out of both sides of your mouth is tricky Frau Merkel...sometimes you bite your tongue:
"Serial offenders who repeatedly rob or repeatedly affront women must feel the full force of the law," Merkel
REPEATEDLY???? Hey, go for it. The first time's a freebie. BTW....What's "right-wing" about being anti rape and molestation????
