Apparently, Cologne's mayoress advised women to "keep strangers at arms length" and stay in close groups together.

I haven't decided if I should laugh or cry

Well that's probably a good idea while a situation is ongoing, assailants at large.

I guess they really are coming for our women.

How remarkably unhelpful.

The mayor of Cologne on Wednesday offered some poorly received advice to female residents of her city after a wave of New Year's Eve attacks that shocked Germany.

"There's always the possibility of keeping a certain distance of more than an arm's length — that is to say to make sure yourself you don't look to be too close to people who are not known to you, and to whom you don't have a trusting relationship,
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

We've already discussed this in the immigration thread, conclusion was from the right wing: it's the feminists' fault, and from the left wing: it's the patriarchy's fault.

Odd that Moslems would be trying to turn Europe into India.

And now Tim's wayward thread has been assimilated into the mainstream.

Reading about the Köln attacks is very depressing. The report of an assailant screaming "I'm a Syrian, you have to treat me nice, Merkel invited me." was a nice touch. The police was completely overworked, unable to help victims because new ones constantly came forth unable to detain attackers because of shouts of crying and people screaming for help from inside the mob made stopping attacks a priority.

Basically the mob did whatever they wanted to because of power of numbers. How a city as big as Köln failed to get this hour long attack under control is beyond comprehension.

Fixed!  :P

That said, even 1000 would be just 1/10 percent of the migrants that came to Germany this year

Sorry but this kind of apologetic narrative is getting really ridiculous. There are what, 1000 times, 10,000 times, 100,000 times more native Germans in Germany than there are immigrants? But this kind of mass rape events do not happen involving native Germans, do they? If I had a friend, who stole from me only 1 out of 10 times I invite him into my home, I would not invite him - no matter the remaining 9 times out of 10. It seems bonkers to me that there is this implied conclusion that as long as it is a minority of immigrants who engage in unacceptable (yet clearly culturally influenced) behaviour, there is no problem to talk of.

In lighter news, UNHCR posted an article on Germans "adopting" refugees into their homes and although the article itself is a cloying twaddle of unctious flattery of the gutmensch kind one photo is accidently rather amusing.

Following the events in Cologne, Slovakia has said that it will not accept any Muslim refugees as they can't be integrated into European society. Also, that they will give money for protection of the EU borders, but not for funds that would go into humanitarian aid for refugees.

It's amazing how they are so sure of the religion of the attackers, and that the attacks prove something essential about the people of that religion  - given that, as I understand, not a one of 'em has been arrested yet, let alone convicted.  ;)

That wasn't my intention. Guilt is individual, not collective in Germany. We must identify and punish (by deportation) those that commit crimes. But we should not hold a heterogeneous group of a million individuals responsible for the actions of some. That's not going to solve the problem and is not compatible with our values. Rule of law must be protected at all costs and that includes assignment of individual guilt. Which makes the failure of the police operations even worse as it will be hard to assign individual guilt in a court in this case.
