From the comments in Gawker’s one and only, people here seemed to treat the reports of the attacks as though they were hoaxes fomented by neo-nazis. Some, apparently, still do.

Try reading the news. The criminal complaints (mostly for sexual assault)in Cologne alone have now topped 500 (The Guardian). This doesn’t include the 1000+ men who converged on Helsinki’s trainstation (Associated Press), or the hundreds of men who attacked discotheques and assaulted women in Bieifield Germany (BBC).…

Germany’s and Europe’s experiment in letting *anyone* who claims to be a refugee come to Germany and request asylum has led to thousands of women being sexually assaulted by gang raping single men on New Years Eve alone. I’m not saying that actual refugees are undeserving, but according to the German authorities a…

“Strong system in place”

How dare you not accept politically convenient refugees that we can use to advance our own power?

In Europe, thousands of women were assaulted by immigrant and asylum seeking gangs of men many who claim to be Syrian refugees on New Years Eve. The authorities now admit this was a coordinated attack against European women. Does this hearten you?

The GOP has been slashing budgets for virtually any kind of oversight anywhere and hence, there is virtually *no oversight* left.

Did I miss something? How is the GOP involved with the Housing Authority of Baltimore?

“...this one will make the services stronger in the long run, not the other way around.”

You need to read just one story to understand everything.

Jesus. The fact that they may have been “coordinated” assaults is very disturbing. It makes me wonder if this was some sort of terrorist related activity. Most Syrian refuges are Shia Muslim not Sunni’s, but if the attackers were Sunni’s, then the question needs to be asked.

BERLIN — At least 21 asylum seekers from the Middle East and North Africa are suspects in the New Year’s Eve rampage of sexual assaults and thefts in the German city of Cologne, authorities said, as word emerged of similar acts in Finland and Sweden as well as other German cities — including the alleged gang rape of…

It doesn’t matter why Jackie is mentally ill. Outside of the circles you are in, what is perceived is that people like you will continue to deny the obvious in the face of the facts and insist that Jackie is a victim. Naturally, they will wonder if anybody you say is a victim really is.

It isn’t “scorched earth” it is the truth. She lied. About everything. That’s the truth.

Except when you have people like Jez advocating for never questioning rape allegations.

Uh. The blame is on Jackie for making this shit up in the first place. Not on the reporter who did exactly what people like you say she should do.

How about I make this clearer:

If you lived in the fraternity where the fake assault didn’t happen, with protesters round the clock, death threats, and cinder blocks crashing through your windows, you may disagree that there were no victims. Also, a couple of UVA administrators had their good names smeared.

You seriously need an education in critical thinking.

Yes, “fudged.” She invented a guy that didn’t exist, a gang rape that never happened, on a night that the fraternity in question did not throw a party. Any journalist with a shred of professionalism and integrity would have abandoned this non-story after doing the very basics of her job.
