A tragedy unfolds.
Could it happen here?

Here are some of the 5,000 neo-nazis who rioted in Cologne in 2014 - it puts the New Years events into perspective, as does the lack of any real coverage - but then there's not a black face amongst them is there.

I fail to see the correlation... That photo (taken from either the Al Jazeera or Daily Sabah websites) is hardly the most frightening example of 'neo-nazis' in mid-riot.. very German too as if this is mid-riot it's very tidy and not even a broken glass or McD's wrapper on the floor... Go to any England football match and you'll see a hundred other ugly buggers wrapped in their national flag (St George optional) making faces at the camera....

Either way, if you want to 'compare and contrast' and 'put things into perspective' I think you'll find that whatever the neo-nazi thugs did is a whole mindset removed from the particular games being undertaken by the new wave of crimmigrants that Merkel has invited into her home. New Years Eve in Koln and in a number of other large german towns saw a wave of violent attacks against women in a specific 'mob activity' gaining momentum and now being given a name of Taharrush gamea in the German press. This is a cultural thing and is becoming endemic as white women as seen as fair game at night in a large crowd and the perpetrators see that they can get away with attacking women as there are just too many people pulling and groping and attacking the women for them to be prosecuted.



Video links are available but frankly they're NSFW.

but then there's not a black face amongst them is there.

Not many black faces in the 'Taharrush' thing.... it seems to be a particularly arab activity where women are no more deserving of respect than a donkey needing a kick..... If you dress 'respectably' and wear a hijab or go the whole hog and trundle around in a burqah you will be unharmed, but if you are in western dress then you are in for a rough time..... Coming to a square near you.....

This reminds me of when I went to Bamberg (a Newbury sized town in Bavaria) with my parents when I was younger. We were walking past the central railway station when a car full of youths blaring out loud music came to a sudden stop near us. Unexpectedly one of the lads carefully deposited an empty can of beer into the bin before getting back into the car, which drove off at speed again.

I doubt that this would ever happen anywhere in the UK.

Not on Turnpike where it looks as if the bin men deliver these days.
