Cologne on BBC news, in shot of the reporter was a Die Linke protest. According to the BBC reporter they were there to protest the far-right using the attacks.
Idiots. Idiots. Idiots.
In the post I pulled you up on, you said this:Fuck off. I haven't blamed Arabs, I haven't blamed Islam..I've very consciously not gone down that road . I've blamed this squarely on a culture of criminality and nothing else . In case you haven't noticed there's now literally thousands signing up in cologne to act as vigilantes . This is happening . This is bad . Very bad . And the left can do fuck all to counter it . Except apparently to tell people to shut up and call them racists .
And it needs saying and I don't give a fuck who it offends, open borders with fuck all background checks was a serious mistake . Especially....particularly ... for young men in such absolutely huge numbers . It was fucking madness
And to explain is not necessarily to excuse. To understand something of what goes in to the making of a rapist is not to say that any one individual rapist is not responsible for his actions.
Now what are you dribbling about? This post has nothing whatever to do with mine or the issue I was responding to.Unless your suggesting sending an army of social workers and wooly jumpered , yoghurt knitting , tofu munching freaks to the middle east to engage in some emergency consciousness raising none of that really matters a fuck .
I think this may have repercussions on our own immigration/asylum laws. In the UK if you commit a serious crime (one over 2 years imprisonment) its very hard to be granted asylum - near impossible, and if you already have refugee status it is cessated. The gov are always looking at further ways to make it harsher, and Germany have announced this so I expect Home Office to take the opportunity to tighten the system up even more.
In the post I pulled you up on, you said this:
So your alternative suggestion is what? Send the young men back to Syria? Background checks on people fleeing a warzone? How, exactly? This is very specifically implying that somehow this is not, or ought not to be, Europe's problem, which is complete balls.

But, if you are at serious risk of death or torture etc., then you won't be sent back, regardless of this change of status.
The rapists should be dropped with (or maybe without) a parachute on to Raqqa.
Can't speak for anyone else, but the opprobrium from me directed towards CR was not for that reason. As something of a student of Middle East affairs, he should have known better than to spout a lot of what he spouted. dwyer may be a bit all over the place on this too, but he has one valid point, which is that these refugees are here in Europe as a consequence of European imperialism, dating back as far as the end of WW1. The idea put forward by one or two that taking in the refugees is somehow an act of kindness that ought not to have been done as it 'spoils' European society is the height of ahistorical imperialist arrogance. It is 'liberal' in the sense that it doesn't see the structural issues or structural causes of the conflicts in the Middle East.
None of that excuses any of the men involved in Cologne. None of it, either, excludes the idea that many men in particular societies have fucked-up attitudes towards women. But neither does it make it open season for any and every bigoted and/or ahistorical, inflammatory, knee-jerk rant.
The cops should have dropped a few of them in cologne . They had the right to do so . And the duty, when alls said and done .
Exactly the kind of gleeful shit stirring one would expect from Bild. It is filth. Why post a link to it?
If anything remotely similar happens again they should just shoot into the crowd. If you are part of a crowd physically preventing a police officer from stopping someone being raped you are fair game.
Its very hard to get the HO to accept you are at serious risk of death or torture. If you get over 4 years you're fucked, they are treated differently and get very little consideration.
IMO this is a necessary response to anyone asking 'why did we let them in?' And yes, then you have the separate issue of how to deal with this horrible thing. But some are going the full Enoch on this stuff.While I don't disagree with what you're saying this kind of talk of makes me queazy at the moment. Dwyer's 'chickens home to roost' comment reminded me of people saying similar after the Paris attacks, 'we reap what we sow' pass me the sick bucket. I mean how far do we wanna go back in history in trying to relate western imperialism to why some fuck head chooses to rape and molest women? The industrial revolution? The voyages of Columbus? Who really gives a fuck where these pricks are from? It just seems irrelevent to me, although I do appreciate it's relevent in the current climate because of what comes next.
The most pressing issue is hundreds of men went on a rape/robbery/molesting spree and the old bill did next to fuck all about it. I'm sure we're all aware of the statistics around male on female violence across the globe, that's a global problem, a fucing plague in fact, is that solely due western imperialism? Yeah, the refugees are in Europe largely due to western imperialism but so fucking what in the context of gangs of men going on a rape and molesting spree?

The first such program to teach immigrants about local norms and how to avoid misreading social signals was initiated in Stavanger, the center of Norway’s oil industry and a magnet for migrants, after a series of rapes from 2009 to 2011.
Henry Ove Berg, who was Stavanger’s police chief during the spike in rape cases, said he supported providing migrants sex education because “people from some parts of the world have never seen a girl in a miniskirt, only in a burqa.” When they get to Norway, he added, “something happens in their heads.”
He said, “there was a link but not a very clear link” between the rape cases and the city’s immigrant community. According to the state broadcaster, NRK, which reviewed court documents, only three of 20 men found guilty in those cases were native Norwegians, the rest immigrants.

Hanne Kristin Rohde, a former head of the violent crime section of the Oslo Police Department, said she ran into a wall of hostility when, in 2011 while still in the police force, she blamed sexual violence by foreign men on cultural factors and went public with data suggesting that immigrants committed a hugely disproportionate number of rapes.
“This was a big problem but it was difficult to talk about it,” Ms. Rohde said recently, asserting that there was “a clear statistical connection” between sexual violence and male migrants from countries where “women have no value of their own.” The taboo, she added, has since eased somewhat.

Sounds like the SWP element of Die Linke, they will look like defending the perpetrators even if they think they are doing the right thing.
