From the article: Police have admitted they fear it was part of a known criminal enterprise



And who would be the people who are known to be part of the criminal enterprise? Why aren't there more details about this criminal enterprise? Why aren't they arrested if they are known?


Seems to me that Reker hates women. She clearly doesn't know how long and how many women fought for women's rights, and she now she wants to take them away. If it wasn't for the women in the past and present who fought and continue to fight for women's rights, the damn fool wouldn't be where she is today.

Kerry's remarks were refugees from all over the world, not just Syria.

85,000 in 2016 and 100,000 in 2017. The number from Syria is a small percentage of the intended total.

It's a fraction of the number of refugees resettled during the 80's.

Too bad the US choses not to put future refugee resettlement on hold until the 30 year old illegal immigration situation is resolved.

It's common all over Europe whenever large crowds are gathered, including in Vatican City.

It's a common distraction ploy with pick picketers and those who slash purse straps.

The masses used to blame organized gypsy/Romani criminal clans, many of whom appear sort of Arab to some. For the most part, the Roma are Christians.

More than 1 million have settled in the US over the past 100 years. Generally speaking, they have not assimilated, well.

Possible, quite possible. Tho this time it'd probably be the Jews instead of the Muslims joining forces with some kinds of rough youth gangs. The Nazis of 70 years ago had Muslim SS divisions.

So, how did the French get around this universal rule? They began speaking their consonants as vowel sounds!

Sure, they kept the consonants in their WRITTEN language, but then SPOKE the consonants as vowels.

They stayed technically correct to their agreement, but violated it in vocality.

The French have never stopped thumbing their noses at the Germans.

A Chevrolet is a Chevrolet, NOT a Chevrolet!

I didn't want to get involved in such a childish game, so I studied Latin in high school.

Kaesar et Kikero!
I'd almost agree even tho Louis Chevrolet was NOT French, the dude was Swiss. neither was the last East German president with the last name de Maziere. lol

Mandrake, have you ever seen a Frenchman drive a PooJo?

Snails, that's what Frenchmen drive.

The best statement I've seen about what happened in Cologne comes, believe it or not, from a reader's comment in the New York Times story about this outrage. IMHO, it hits the nail on the head perfectly about brain-dead politicians, opinion writers, etc., that gush on about how excited they are with diversity, multi-culturalism, and the like.

It's a short comment, so I'll copy and paste it in full:

"Your readers, dear New York Times, will never forget how you, and other liberal outlets, turned your pages and reporting into non-stop advocacy for immigration.

And your readers again and again pointed out the lunacy of allowing hundreds of thousands of young men from a culture with little respect for the dignity of women to pour into Europe.

As you see the extreme right rise in Europe, please keep in mind how much you aided its rise."

The right end of their politicians talking sanity will certainly rise.

Cologne attacks: Mayor's 'arm's length' advice slammed - CNN.com

CNN is reporting it now.

Is this a form of a terrorist attack if many young men do a coordinated attack on over 100 women?

Should Germany adapt their culture to meet the expectations of their Muslim immigrants?

It depends what the motivation is. If they are motivated by their sexual desires, then no. If their coordinated desire is related to a political purpose, as was the case in San Bernadino and in Charleston, then yes.

Here is the Merriam Webster's definition of terrorism, for reference purposes (no, dictionary definitions are not always correct, but this appears to be right):
Terrorism: the use of violent acts to frighten the people in an area as a way of trying to achieve a political goal
