Cologne attacks: mayor lambasted for telling women to keep men at arm's length

So - whats up with the protest marches and rallies today, back in Cologne ?

What are you expecting from the protest marches and rallies?

I guess some anti-immigration protest was in cologne according to a paper there, but there were more anti-anti-immigration protesters.

I found this a funny statement. I assume the victims of the attacks would disagree.

"What happens on the right-wing platforms and in chatrooms is at least as awful as the acts of those assaulting the women," he said. "This is poisoning the climate of our society."

the right doesn't care about the victims of these assaults as much as they are eager to use it to further their xenophobia. blatantly obvious.

1. the mayor of Cologne burned in effigy

2. stick wielding gangs o womens whacking any non german male, 11 times each hour.

3. federal police en masse, maybe 1100 to 1200 troops with exotic stun weapons and tear gas

4. over 900 non-german men sitting down before the cathedral, zip-tied and rotten vegetables covering them. [don't waste the horse manure ! ] heads on pikes, optional.

anyway - thats a start. i not talk of 'the press' or Merkle, yet.

[you are my fav interlocutor - thank you ! ]

The left doesn't care about the victims of these assaults as much as they are eager to promote their multiculturalism. Blatantly obvious.

this lefty would like to focus on bringing the attackers to justice, that and get the mayor a clue about victim blaming..

there's a legal prostitution zone in Cologne, right ? I'm thinking the Mayor could get work there, soonish.

And I'd like to see if anything can be learned from this to prevent a relapse.

a lesson i'd suggest - have more police working such events, allow those police to act when crimes are being committed.

what's your suggestion? oh that's right. you can't say.

Hey, I tried to make it fun for you with the where's waldo, but you refused to answer a simple question. But I said thank you because your answer was the answer I expected, and betrayed your genuine thoughts on the matter, even if you think it didn't, because I know you're not stupid, even if you are not entirely forthcoming.

I think culture also plays a big part.
