Cologne Attackers Mostly Refugees

I think we already knew this, didn’t we?

BERLIN (AP) — Most of the suspects identified in connection with a series of robberies and sexual assaults in Cologne during New Year’s celebrations are refugees, prosecutors said Monday.

The crimes, described as unprecedented by authorities, sparked uproar in Germany and a heated debate about the country’s ability to integrate almost 1.1 million people who sought asylum there last year.

Cologne prosecutor Ulrich Bremer said 73 suspects have been identified so far — most of them from North Africa. A total of 1,075 criminal complaints have been filed, including 467 alleging crimes of a sexual nature ranging from insults to rape.

“The overwhelming majority of persons fall into the general category of refugees,” Bremer told The Associated Press, saying recent reports describing only three of the suspects as refugees were “total nonsense.”

    Liberal media trying to cover up the rape and assault of women. Disgusting.

    Where in the article did it say that the media was trying to cover up anything?

    “…saying recent reports describing only three of the suspects as refugees were “total nonsense.””

    Sorry to have to point out the obvious for you.

    Nowhere in the article cited was there a mention of where the “reports” were from. I don’t doubt that there were, and are, erroneous statements made regarding the criminal acts, but kevins knee jerk reaction added nothing to civil discourse.

    Baldy,

    “Reports” is simple code for liberal politicians making false claims by a cooperative liberal media willIng to print those false claims.

    In this case, the cover up and minimizing, by liberal politicians, of the rape and assault of poor German women by predatory Muslim migrants from Middle East. I’ve always suspected European liberals were anti-woman.

    It appears predatory migrant rapists trump the feminist agenda in the liberal European lexicon these days.

    Very disappointing.

    Baldy,

    Also, I don’t find discourse civil when liberal politicians, fail to discern simple evil like rape, as in this community. Worse, because liberal politicians fail to discern rape as evil, and a problem, cover it up as to not offend the migrant Muslim predators!

    There is nothing “civil” about that.

    However, you call me out, instead, for lack of civility for being against rape and calling it out?

    Oh the liberal trip wires….they are hilarious.

    kevin:

    It may be “simple code” to you, but you have the only copy of the code book. Much of what you have to say are thinly veiled slams on anyone that disagrees with you, or offers an opportunity to take a dig at “liberals”, however you are defining them this week. You are making stuff up again.

    Baldy,

    So Muslim migrants are not raping European women in your worldview?

    If yes, the “simple code” is proven.

    If they are raping women en masse, how clueless do you have to be, to discount the bad original liberal reporting on this issue?

    Never bullied or threatened anybody. But you want me banned for having a different opinion. Classy.

    No. You should be banned for ToS violations.

    Thank you for proving what a clueless idiot you are.

    This is a private site. Owen is not Congress. He could run your ass out of here and you have not a shred of recourse.

    Stick to your fellow fascists over at Kos and HuffPo.

    When you pull out a cliche like that, you know you’ve lost. Glad you could man up and admit it.

    Since it seems that I cause you a lot of discomfort the inference is that I have hit a nerve. Whether it be that you just don’t like any opinion other than your own, or that maybe you just like calling others names, I don’t know or really care. If Owen wants to ban me, fine. Let him be up front and tell me. But if you think your juvenile name calling and pseudo intimidation (I haven’t been intimidated since basic training in 1970) will do it, not a chance.

    Have a great day, and keep smiling.

    That’s a lot of words to say “I lost.”

    More trolling, gaslighting and projection.

    Maybe you should off yourself. With the help of Republicans, you can get a gun and do it today.
