If Barack Obama has his way, this horror show will be arriving in your town very soon.

Not the way westerners act. Us wersterners like to pretend police exist to protect us.

20-30? by what reports?

It's the State Dept that decides and they decided that 185,000 could come here.

Maybe you read the wrong article.


Germany shocked by Cologne New Year gang assaults on women - BBC News
About 1,000 drunk and aggressive young men were involved.
..
City police chief Wolfgang Albers called it "a completely new dimension of crime". The men were of Arab or North African appearance, he said.

See link in post#31.

No two people who are eyewitnesses to a car accident report seeing the same thing.

Media has been relying mostly on tweets from anonymous people who may or may not have been at the event.

Media is desperately seeking to make contact with eye witnesses to report fresh news.

Not clear how hundreds of thousands of people were "terrorized" by groups of drunk Arab/ North African appearing men.

Apparently this story is being censored on Reddit by the left-wing mods that control what is read and what is rejected.

Every instance of this story, even from mainstream sources, are being rejected by mods on /news, /politics and /worldnews among other subreddits. People are even being banned from those subreddits for posting this story to these groups which are supposed to be non-partisan.

Not that this is new for Reddit. Its well known that the large political subs have gatekeepers who only approve of stories that jive with left-wing values. They're controlling what news people see by actively suppressing news they don't like. While not against the law, it is a huge abuse of the power granted to the moderators of groups that have millions of members.

And Americans have armed themselves with more guns and bullets than under any other President because they know he could do that.
Americans await, but the response here will be a little different than Germany. :-)

Saw that one, too. Based on assorted eye witness accounts.

Again, hundreds of thousands of attendees versus 1,000 drunk and aggressive young men in smaller groups. Makes no sense to me. The outcome, under similar circumstances, if played out in the US, would likely have likely been very different.

Maybe the locals had their faces buried into their phones or something.

It remains curious to me that crowd groping has been sensationalized as monstrous sexual attacks by some media yet the reports of hundreds- thousands of lit fire crackers being tossed in the crowds is downplayed.

Maybe it's not a common occurrence over in Germany.
Maybe this is the new norm with all these single migrant men.
Maybe because the police initially reported "no major incidents" and then backpedaled.
And maybe because the mayor reacted by suggesting women change their lifestyles, as if they were at fault for this.
