Drunk arabs and north africans? So, they obviously weren't muslims.
Bloody alcohol drinkers!

Notice how the BBC does not mention that they were of Arab and North African origin and they play down that these could have been migrants.
With organisations like the BBC in the establishment it's no wonder we are turning into a shit dump.

No sympathy at all.
If you invite them in then this is what happens, they are savages.
The BBC is more up in arms about Chris Gayle than it is about this.
Strange world.

"A policeman who was outside Cologne station during the New Year's Eve trouble told the city's Express news website that he had detained eight suspects. "They were all asylum seekers, carrying copies of their residence certificates," he said."
I'm well shocked.

But he also warned against simply linking the crimes to the issue of migrants and refugees.

If the filthy whores had been in doors where they should always be then they wouldn't have been molested.
And also, didn't anyone warn these poor persecuted people of the dangers of alcohol?
How can we live with ourselves being so neglectful?

There is no mention of the words Arabs or North Aficans in that BBC piece. Here it is in full:
______________________________________
The mayor of Cologne has summoned police for crisis talks after about 80 women reported sexual assaults and muggings by men on New Year's Eve.
The scale of the attacks on women at the city's central railway station has shocked Germany. About 1,000 drunk and aggressive young men were involved.
City police chief Wolfgang Albers called it "a completely new dimension of crime". The men were of Arab or North African appearance, he said.
Women were also targeted in Hamburg.
But the Cologne assaults - near the city's iconic cathedral - were the most serious, German media report. At least one woman was raped, and many were groped.
Most of the crimes reported to police were robberies. A volunteer policewoman was among those sexually molested.
The pretty Christmas market and medieval setting may look idyllic, but at Christmas and New Year the area around Cologne Cathedral is a notorious danger zone when it comes to pickpockets and theft.
Now the sexual harassment, and in one case rape, of dozens of women has shocked Germany.
What is particularly disturbing is that the attacks appear to have been organised. Around 1,000 young men arrived in large groups, seemingly with the specific intention of carrying out attacks on women.
Police in Hamburg are now reporting similar incidents on New Year's Eve in the party area of St Pauli. One politician says this is just the tip of the iceberg.
And there are real concerns about what will happen in February when the drunken street-parties of carnival season kick off.
Cologne will stage carnival events on 4-10 February, with hundreds of thousands of revellers expected in the streets, as on New Year's Eve.
The city police chief said "the assailants' behaviour is a real concern for me, also because of the carnival".
Police were deployed outside the central station because of the crowds on New Year's Eve, but failed to spot the many attacks on women, according to reports. There are also fears that a number of women did not report assaults.
Cologne Mayor Henriette Reker said the attacks were "monstrous". "We cannot allow this to become a lawless area," she said, insisting that visitors could not come to the city fearing attack.
And German Justice Minister Heiko Maas tweeted that "we won't tolerate these abhorrent assaults on women - all those responsible must be brought to justice".
But he also warned against simply linking the crimes to the issue of migrants and refugees.
Germany saw a record influx of migrants in 2015, which provoked an intense debate on immigration and marches by the anti-Islam Pegida movement.
Mr Maas said "the law does not discriminate regarding a person's origin or passport... all are equal before the law".
Cologne news website Koelner Stadt-Anzeiger says the suspects were already known to police because of frequent pickpocketing in and around Cologne central station.
Police are trying to find out whether the men who targeted women on Thursday night, surrounding, molesting and robbing them, organised their assaults through social media.
They are also studying mobile phone and CCTV surveillance videos.
In Hamburg several women told police that gangs of men had molested and robbed them on New Year's Eve on the Reeperbahn - a street known for its boisterous night life.
Some similar attacks were reported in Stuttgart.
A policeman who was outside Cologne station during the New Year's Eve trouble told the city's Express news website that he had detained eight suspects. "They were all asylum seekers, carrying copies of their residence certificates," he said.
However, there was no official confirmation that asylum seekers had been involved in the violence. Commentators in Germany were quick to urge people not to jump to conclusions.
German n-tv news says Cologne police are considering calling in reinforcements from other parts of Germany and installing extra surveillance cameras, with telescopic lenses.
Cologne's mayor, Henriette Reker, was stabbed in the neck in October, while campaigning a day before the mayoral elections. The suspected attacker, a German national, was angry about Germany's immigration policy, officials said.

That's what deluded parents might believe, 13, but it's not true.

Is anyone shocked or surprised by this?
What happens when you throw the doors wide open to anyone and everyone.
Just a shame ordinary people have to suffer for politicians folly.
funny how this isn't happening in places like Poland.

No laughing matter lily.
when reprisals happen, if they do watch the universal outrage and condemnation take place.
It's sadly lacking for the events of NYE in Cologne.
