(6,819 posts)Please correct your text referring to "Afghan men". The article describes most of the suspects as being recently arrived from Algeria or Morocco. The BBC previously reported similar information. It is worth noting Algerians and Morrocans are NOT eligible for refugee status.
These attacks were used as arguments against sheltering true war refugees from Syria. I have not read about any true Syrian or Afghan refugees being charged with these types of crimes.

Fuck that shit.
This is why so many people are turning against refugees. Instead of facing the problems head on, jailing or deporting the criminals, deporting the economic migrants (because these countries can only absorb so many new people), too much has been swept under the rug and the poor refugees who are stuck in horrible camps are never going to get out if the extreme right continue to gain more power.
Meanwhile, let's welcome 25 year old men pretending to be 16 so they can game the system. Angela Merkel and her "Welcome!" has created a clusterfuck; in the meantime, women and children and men languish in the camps.
The media hasn't been reporting all the problems for fear of whipping up xenophobia, but the truth will out and people are ANGRY, now.

(3,212 posts)I've listened to programs on BBC about the conditions women and children are enduring in the refugee camps, and it makes my blood boil that so many young men from so many countries are allowed in while these families are languishing.
Many of the officials know that a lot of these "refugees" aren't minors, but they seem determined to take them at their word so as not to ruffle any feathers. One sixteen year old was determined to be twenty-nine years old! I believe one country has even started using x-rays to determine ages, since those claiming to be minors get special consideration - not to mention more benefits. Apparently, the migrants from Afghanistan and Pakistan are especially savvy about this.

The biggest consequence is that Trump and Alternative for Germany can now make wild and totaliy false charges about muslims and immigrants and get away with it.
Oh the media will "fact check" them and give them 4 pinocchios, but the media no longer has the credibility as a trusted or neutral player.
And the police and politicians have blown their credibility as well on this issue.
Every time someone attacks people yelling "allah akbar" and the police and politicians rush out to says it was nothing to do with islam and jihad, they just give Trump and AfD more and more room to run.

(3,212 posts)in Europe, and people hear about them. And get very, very angry and distrustful.
Of course, many of these young men are misogynist assholes, and they know that the police will treat them with kid gloves. And it certainly doesn't help that traffickers promised them the moon - I've seen videos where these guys are talking about how they expected their own apartments and a nice income for food, clothes and luxury items instead of a bed in a refugee center. Many of them were promised the moon! So, they're already misogynists, aren't familiar with the customs and laws in their host country, and they act out because they're pissed at their situations. It's kind of human nature to be so disappointed, even if we think that they should be grateful for a warm bed and three squares.
I'm not making excuses for these assholes, but I do understand how the situation has been aggrevated by unrealistic expectations not of their own doing.

(942 posts)have covered up a lot of crimes committed by migrants.
And they have destroyed their credibility in the process.
So Trump etc. can now say anything they want on ANY issue (not just migrants). And the stuff he says that is just not true doesn't matter. The "factcheckers" pronounce it 4 pinocchios and no-one cares.
The biggest thing Democrats are struggling with now is how to deal with Trump when he can say anything and get away with it.
The reason he gets away with it is that the "factcheckers" no longer have any credibility.
It's like getting the mafia to investigate who is guilty of income tax evasion...

(63,221 posts)are going to get all that for absolutely nothing in return? No work, no skills, no education, no respect for the host culture? I can't believe anyone can be that stupid. It still doesn't excuse their disgusting behavior. Most of them are still better off then they were before.

(1,000 posts)I modestly noted the refugee rape problem a few months ago and I got castigated for being a bigot in several ways before the post was canned by a jury.
Sometimes problems are real and not a result of perception, and in those cases the anti-bigotry crusaders are often on the wrong side.

There was that story about the woman that was able to fight off her attacker with pepper spray. She was fined for possession of the pepper spray. Nothing at all happened to him.
The world is upside down when a sex assault victim is charged with a crime.

That "promise" is not what it used to be a hundred and / or hundreds of years ago when my ancestors came.
Would you run or would you stay and fight to protect your home, your city, your country?
I guess your answer is NO.
It's easy for you to offend in type and online though.

(3,076 posts)It now looks exactly like DU!! At least reading the responses to this story, it appears thats where I have stumbled.
A tiny minority of refugees cause problems and now they are all being lumped into the same big ball. It's like being at a Donald Trump rally.
