Arab, African sex attackers make Germans rethink Willkommenskultur

Germans are marching in the streets again! But this time it's mostly women (and some men), marching in the streets of (Cologne) to protest numerous sexual assaults and thefts near the city's famous cathedral and Hauptranhof during New Year's Day "celebrations".

The Köln Express quotes Katja L., an eyewitness: "When we came out of the station, we were very surprised by the group that met us there. It was exclusively young foreign men. I linked arms with [another young woman] and her boyfriend. We then walked through this group of men, who opened up like a lane through which we had to go. Suddenly I felt a hand on my buttocks, then on my breasts, after all, I was groped everywhere. It was a nightmare. Although we shouted, and tried to defend ourselves, they did not stop. I was desperate and I think I was touched around 100 times in the 200 meters.

"The men shouted things like 'Ficki, Ficki!' and 'sluts'. I was lucky that I was wearing trousers and a jacket. If I had been wearing a skirt, it would have been torn away from me. Another girl we saw at the police station had had her pantyhose and panties almost completely torn from her body. I was devastated, angry, and scared at the same time. I hope that the police get to grips with these people, otherwise I will never go to a celebration in the city again."

Nearly 100 women have reported being sexually molested, threatened and robbed outside Cologne Cathedral by men of "Arab or North African" origin, police said yesterday. At first the lamestream press shied away from reporting the ethnic origin of the perps, but not the Express and others acknowledge that the assaults last week have prompted outrage in Germany and a fresh debate about immigration and the wisdom of German Chancellor Angela Merkel's "Willkommenskultur" -- opening arms (and legs?) in welcome to hordes of "refugees" from the Middle East and Africa.

Police said some of the assaults in Cologne appeared similar to incidents that have been reported over the past two years in Düsseldorf -- about 25 miles from Köln -- where non-Aryan men have groped women to distract them before stealing their belongings. Inspektor Katzenjammer said that since the start of 2014, officers there have identified more than 2,000 suspects of North African origin in connection with what he called "organized" thefts. He declined to say whether there have been any arrests in those cases, but added, "Ve haf vays of making zem talk!"

Because no-one has been arrested in either Düsseldorf or Köln, the official government line is that the nationality and residency status of the suspects is still unknown. [Ja! Das is politisch korrekten! Ed.] But according to Interior Ministry figures released just this morning, Germany registered nearly 1.1 million people as asylum-seekers last year. The "Köln incident" must surely give strength to the arguments of politicians -- and the marchers in the streets -- who are calling for limits on migration.
