General Discussion
In reply to the discussion: German Mayor’s Advice to Girls Harassed By Migrants: ‘Just Don’t Provoke Them’ [View all]Alice Schwarzer in particular. She is sort of the Betty Friedan/Gloria Steinem of Germany. She has spoken out forcefully. It's not her fault if the media just glanced over it. Or, for that matter, just ask my wife. She is a retired German social worker, loyal SPD and/or Greens voter.
In our area, three newspaper articles just appeared about a group of Moroccans (3--one to watch for cops, one to distract and the third to actually perform the theft) roaming the trains looking for single women (preferably elderly) who might have nodded off. Their photos were published on the paper. Another trio was caught by the cops robing people twice in the same day. As long as they can produce a document with the address of where they are staying, they are set free, usually within the hour. Some of them have been searched, and found to have six or seven identities on them: Syrian, Afghan, Georgian, Moroccan, Algerian, etc.--all with the correct fingerprints of the owner, and each identity eligible for a small weekly money handout.
The German middle and left are doing themselves, and Germany, no favors by closing their eyes to this problem. They only feed the far right, until, like 1933, they'll be shaking their heads and wondering what happened?
Beyond that, however, no mayor, governor, or even Chancellor has ANY right to tell female citizens of their own country to voluntarily curtail their rights as German citizens to accommodate immigrants from another country.
