Germans Reconsider Welcoming Refugees After New Year's Assaults (VIDEO)

Well, at some point they're going to hold an election over there in Germany, and the collectivist establishment's going to be shocked -- shocked! -- at the strength of the purported "far-right" parties, whatever those are in Germany. Any gesture of support for traditional values is basically prohibited, since leftists will attack you as a Nazi and have you arrested. Yes, they do that in Germany. Don't be joking around with any "Sieg Heils" or you might spend the night in the slammer, to say the least.

At the Los Angeles Times:

Germany's acceptance of more than a million refugees fleeing Syria and other troubled spots last year is undergoing intense scrutiny after an outburst of reported assaults on women in at least five cities on New Year's Eve.

By Friday, nearly 300 women in Cologne, Hamburg, Stuttgart, Duesseldorf and Frankfurt had filed complaints with police saying they were groped, molested or robbed by unruly mobs of up to 1,000 young men when New Year's Eve street-party celebrations turned into wanton violence, officials said.

A spokesman for the interior ministry in Berlin said officials have questioned 31 men in their investigation of the assaults, including 18 refugees registered as seeking asylum. Among those identified were nine Algerians, eight Moroccans, five Iranians, four Syrians, one Iraqi, one Serb and one American as well as two German citizens. Two have been arrested in Cologne, where 170 complaints have been filed, according to media reports.

The assaults — and a slow trickle of information from authorities in Cologne, Hamburg and Stuttgart acknowledging that the suspects included newly arrived refugees — unsettled some Germans and appeared to at least temporarily damage public support for giving shelter to so many refugees. For many Germans, there has been a growing sense that the country of 82 million is losing control of its borders and city centers after 1.1 million people from the Middle East, Africa and Asia arrived in the last 12 months.

Even German Chancellor Angela Merkel, a supporter of an open policy toward refugees, said in a speech late Friday that some of the assailants in Cologne deserved to be kicked out of the country and that she is now open to changing laws to make it easier to send people who commit crimes elsewhere to serve their prison time...

Chancellor Merkel? You mean, Time's Person of the Year?

She's just as bad as all the other bureaucratic barnacles handing Europe over to the Islamic barbarians. It's probably too late. But Germany's got elections coming up in 2017, so we'll see. We'll see if these people come to their senses before it's too late, if it's not too late already.

Still more.
