German social media has exploded with stories like this one from a DUer coyote:

I can give you my 1st hand experience
I live in a town just south of Munich. There is refugee tent about 1-2 km from where I live. When I was walking down to the tram, a young blond girl about the age of 16 was walking in front of me. A group of refugees walking toward us started walking directly in front of the girl. When she moved right, they moved right, when she moved left, they moved left. They were purposely blocking her until I told them off. They laughed at me and thought it was a great laugh. The young girl took off as fast as she could.
This culture simply does not mix with German culture. The freedoms we once enjoyed have gone out the window and I truly feel sorry for the women here.
Imagine that -- refugees so callous and ungrateful toward their host country that they are intimidating teen girls on the street, for sport.
And imagine the host country's government unwilling to do a damn thing about it.
Even if the writer and the girl called the police and identified the culprits, they wouldn't be convicted of an offense that would result in deportation.
The dam has broken, people won't remain silent any longer. They know the police, government, and media have failed women on New Year's Eve and in the months leading up to the mass sexual assaults.
Merkel will either respond adequately to restore women's freedom and safety, or the election consequences will be dire.
I myself wouldn't vote for a politician who had inflicted this upon me and the young women of my neighborhood. As a feminist, I have worked LONG and HARD for my freedoms, and I demand that young women have it better than I did, with not one whit of backsliding. Hell No I won't give up a single iota of progress in the name of tolerating Islam.
I wish the women of Germany best of luck in regaining their human right to feel safe and be respected in their own neighborhood streets.
