Cologne police chief fired

[Ex Lurker]

31 suspects identified, 18 of them asylum seekers. The Left needs to figure out its own reasonable response to this--one that doesn't consist of sticking our heads in the sand or dismissing it as racism and xenophobia. Because the reaction is not coming, it's already here.

1. Just to point out something

People have been identified as "suspects". There has been no trial, no details of the investigation, and there probably won't be for weeks or months.

People were attacked, but until evidence is collected and witnesses interviewed, it is WAY early to be making sweeping conclusions about the specifics.

We have MANY examples of "premature adjudication" in U.S. history that should make us a wary of accepting the first things we hear about what happened.

5. From what I saw on European

news - I don't need more time to say - keep women safe.

8. Again, not claiming that nothing happended

There is a question of whether the police had sufficient numbers to control the crowds they knew would exists and knew that be drinking.

But the details matter, and right now the media and many others are making claims about what happened, when exactly what happened has not been established.

"X people, of y people identified as suspects, belong to z group."

This may be true, but it also me be absolutely false, or true but people identified as suspects are actually innocent.

2. Of course, this occurred in Europe.

The swift firing would never occur in the U.S.A.

3. Good. The mayor should be next

And after that, the minister who compared chat rooms to sexual assault. Then Merkel and and all her incompetent cronies.

Stop evading the truth just because they don't like it.

6. Remember what happened to Lara Logan?

That's how they roll in that part of the world. And it's not outlier behavior. It's the norm.

10. She was sexually assaulted/raped by a pack of Egyptian men on the streets of Cairo

The people of Europe are probably having second thoughts about importing that kind of behavior.

11. Justifiably so.

It's time for myth of "cultural relativism" to be buried, and in a very deep grave. Some cultures ARE better than others even if all are decidedly imperfect.

[geek tragedy]

12. Yep. Mandatory "DO NOT RAPE" classes for men from that part of the world

should be required. It's rape culture on steroids.

[FLPanhandle]

15. If someone needs a class to know that, then they shouldn't be immigrating anywhere

Forget the class. If they don't understand how to behave as a human being, then fuck them.

14. The authorities at DU know it was really white men with tans.
