Number Of Sexual Assaults In Cologne Far Higher Than Originally Reported. Meanwhile, Privileged Woman Tweets Nightmare Of Male Referring To Females as “Pretty Young Ladies”
[guest post by Dana]
Much is being made of this tweet complaining about an act of shameful sexual harassment when an airline pilot complimented the flight attendants on board the plane. MORE magazine editor Betsy Fischer Martin was the captive tweeter witness to the verbal abuse:
I know. Devastating. Truly awful. A compliment! From a man! Just how much leaning in do women have to do to end this national nightmare??
And so it goes. Such is the life of the accomplished, over-educated first-world cupcakes tightly wrapped up in their little cocoons of privileged upper-class existences.
But back in the real world, it’s a different story. If only it were just a perceived insult, life would be so easy. Instead, it’s brutal, ugly, and wholly devastating. Remember the rampant sexual attacks perpetrated by Middle Eastern asylum seekers that took place in Cologne, Germany earlier this year? I wrote about it here and here. Today, we learn that what is horrible can always become a whole lot worse:
At first, there was complete silence from officials. As rumors spread on social media, police had nothing to say about allegations of mass sexual assaults and other crimes carried out on New Year’s Eve in the German city of Cologne.
It was only days later that officials reported that hundreds of women were victims of assault in Cologne, Hamburg and other German cities.
But numbers that are now emerging are likely to shock a country still coming to terms with what happened in Cologne more than half a year ago. According to a leaked police document, published by Germany’s Sueddeutsche Zeitung newspaper and broadcasters NDR and WDR, the previous estimates have to be dramatically revised — upward.
Authorities now think that on New Year’s Eve, more than 1,200 women were sexually assaulted in various German cities, including more than 600 in Cologne and about 400 in Hamburg.
More than 2,000 men were allegedly involved, and 120 suspects — about half of them foreign nationals who had only recently arrived in Germany — have been identified.
Only four have been convicted, but more trials are underway.
As a reminder, President Obama plans on welcoming at least 10,000 Syrian refugees into the United States this year. Hillary Clinton upped that number to 65,000. Typical of the left, however, if you don’t identify the problem and name it in the public square, the problem doesn’t really exist, and therefore, there is no need to consider any unintended consequences.

This is just awful.

narciso (732bc0) — 7/11/2016 @ 8:59 pmPoor dears, I suppose that’s why they received one year suspended sentences. That’ll teach ’em. I suppose the thinking is, if only they had spent more time in Germany they would have learned to respect it more. Also, I hear the European women are arming themselves with “don’t rape me” armbands. What can go wrong with that ingenious plan?
A local German police department had posted their report online. I know state officials had called and demanded they take the report down. Since the article says the report was leaked, I suppose the local cops complied and took it down.
Cologne Mayor Henriette Reker said basically it was the women’s fault they got assaulted and raped because all they had to do was keep the men at arms length. I suppose the Mayor hasn’t noticed that German women don’t have 20 arms.
Merkel lets in a million Muslim refugees who think blonde women are whooers, and when government officials find out they have zero respect for uncovered women their reaction is, “Here, let me hold her legs down for you.”

narciso (732bc0) — 7/11/2016 @ 9:32 pmSo, regarding those 178 “likes” on Ms. Martin’s tweet: Do those 178 people like what the UA pilot said about the pretty young women, or do they like the fact that Ms. Martin is apparently outraged? Or is it a mixture of both, say 102 like the pilot’s comments and 76 like Ms. Martin’s reaction? See why I find social media so laughably stupid?

JVW (eabb2a) — 7/11/2016 @ 9:40 pmThat flight was a rarity – all of the flight attendants were pretty young ladies! I only see that nowadays on Asian carriers. Domestic and Euro crew tend to have several middle aged females (some of which are gorgeous) and at least one man of questionable sexual orientation.
David (6f3506) — 7/11/2016 @ 11:23 pmWhy do you assume the consequences are unintended? Conservatives keep believing bad things occurring rom leftist policies are an accident. They aren’t. The object of al leftist policy is agitation, confusion and usurpation. The rape of the German women is a feature not a bug.
I do not believe that to be a fair analogy any more than “For a country that once had slavery, how can a black get treated fair by police”. The “country” didn’t murder anybody. The socialist Nazi government did. And they murdered their own people among others in the name of socialism.
Which is why I am eternally grateful my Korean wife demands we fly Korean Air when we visit Korea. Asia, so far escaping from the idiotic entrapments of political correctness does not buy into the diversity drivel. Stewardesses remain hot chicks. And the country remains yellow.

Perhaps the women would have been happier if he had referred to them as “those ugly bitches.”
Bar Sinister (c62a89) — 7/12/2016 @ 7:18 amDamn – I missed my opportunity to tweet/snap/post that “I like the Orange Line” which was my Chicago-centric version of the pretty ladies tweet – because I left my smartphone at home. I also caught some dude trying to do a PG rated version of upskirting.
urbanleftbehind (5eecdb) — 7/12/2016 @ 8:05 amReally, Sammy? Women like to be complemented because they’re insecure about their beauty? I like to be complemented and I’m not insecure about anything. But women only like to be complemented in front of people who don’t care, one-on-one and only from the “right” person? I don’t know what women you know but the ones I know certainly don’t fall in to those parameters. It sounds to me like these stupid broads decided to become victims of someone saying something nice. Idiots do that nowadays. See, a complement is fleeting but being a victim lasts forever. Any word on how the airline pilot was “punished” for being so unkind as to call what apparently are a bunch of vile, cackling hens by a complementary name? Was he fired? Suspended without pay? Forced to attend “sensitivity” classes? The whole idea behind these complaints is to harm the individual so I’d be curious to see what punishment is appropriate for “wrongspeak”.
Rev. Hoagie® (0f4ef6) — 7/12/2016 @ 8:19 am“although the perspective is a little backwards, he’s looking at the future backlash, (ht tim blair) and not the prospective assaults themselves”
Maybe if all the leftists are this super-afraid of it, to the point of ignoring and minimizing any and all bad behavior by their preferred voting blocs, you should just encourage the future backlash to become the present backlash. You can start by electing Trump.

They never know how they look, and always worry. That’s why beauty products sell so much. A compliment makes them feel that they are OK or better.
It’s about beauty that they are insecure. Theer can be other reaosns for liking compliments, of course. But women only like to be complemented in front of people who don’t care, one-on-one and only from the “right” person? One-on one, but if theer are people around who don’t care, it doesn’t matter. They don’t want it to be done by the wrong people.
It wasn’t pure nice. It detracted from someone taken them seriously, which in turn would interfere with their job, which was to convey instructions, not to get people to look at them; and possibly brought unwanted attention, or made them feel they could get unwanted attention from one or more of the passengers.
Probably nothing.
Sammy Finkelman (c82029) — 7/12/2016 @ 8:39 amI should check the fomratting.

One-on one, but if there are people around who don’t care, it doesn’t matter.
They [also] don’t want it to be done by the wrong people. One-on-one can be appreciated. In front of people is embarassing.

Maybe we should elect the candidate for whom ‘not taking women seriously’ is an implied part of his persona and part of the benefits.
Dystopia Max (76803a) — 7/12/2016 @ 8:49 amRev H., Actually one of the passengers complained via Twitter, not of the “pretty young ladies” themselves. Which coming over the PA from a (presumably) middle aged man does sound sexist and unprofessional. But I am only a middle aged man, so what do I know? I am just going by what I learned about treating women correctly when I was growing up.
But being being publicly condescended to by a co-worker is nowhere as bad as being forcibly kissed and groped by complete strangers,with no real consequences to the gropers….which of course was Dana’s actual point.
kishnevi (3ebfe9) — 7/12/2016 @ 8:49 amOddly, when I’m on a plane the stewardesses want attention, they want you to look closely at what they’re doing and what they’re saying because it could save your life. I can only ask: if it could possibly bring unwanted attention then what were they doing that they wanted to hide?
And I wouldn’t dismiss the poor pilots punishment so quickly, Sammy. Even you are playing into these douchebags hands so you can believe the airline is under pressure to “do something” to teach this big, bad pilot how politically incorrect it is to complement stewardesses. What’s the point of being a constantly complaining leftist if you can’t cause pain and suffering for someone else?
Rev. Hoagie® (0f4ef6) — 7/12/2016 @ 8:51 am“coming over the PA from a (presumably) middle aged man does sound sexist and unprofessional.”
Maybe you should stop respecting the words ‘sexist and unprofessional’ more than you do a middle-aged man who’s well qualified at a difficult and dangerous job that hundreds of peoples lives depend on.
Dystopia Max (76803a) — 7/12/2016 @ 8:54 am“publicly condescended to by a co-worker”
Maybe you should also stop using equalist language to describe professions vastly different in skill, replaceability. Try following @ChateauEmissary to re-masculinize your vocabulary.
Dystopia Max (76803a) — 7/12/2016 @ 9:01 amYou were taught growing up that referring to a few young ladies as “pretty” is condescending, unprofessional and sexist? Wow. I think you have calling them “pretty” mixed up with calling them “whores”. Seems people today can’t take a compliment so screw’em.

The stewardesses didn’t object. They have the relationship with the pilot.
The shrew that you 2 want to fawn over is the complainer. Get a life.
njrob (7929fa) — 7/12/2016 @ 9:05 am5. Mariel is different in that you had a largely upstanding co-ethnic host (even though there was a lot trepidation and snobbery from the 59er class) to set those guys straight and also a correctional facility inmate population in South Florida that is majority black/Haitian – which itself is a large disincentive to act a fool. The reality of the Cook County IL Jail system probably keeps Chicago’s illegals from acting out as savagely as those from LA and other SW areas. The new ME refugees in Europe do not fear jail the same way since the majority (or a large plurality) are legacy colonial Muslim populations (i.e. Algerians in France, Pakis in Britain, Turks* in Germany*). *Not colonial per se but an extension of the old Central Powers agreement preceeding WWI.
urbanleftbehind (5eecdb) — 7/12/2016 @ 9:07 amkishnevi, how is referring to the stewardesses as “pretty” an example of not treating women correctly?
Cruz Supporter (102c9a) — 7/12/2016 @ 9:14 am“how is referring to the stewardesses as “pretty” an example of not treating women correctly?”
It implies that they’re different as women, which is death to the HR equalist mindset.

redc1c4 (c3507e) — 7/12/2016 @ 9:19 amThe lesson of the post is that while the Muslims do have some unchallengable-in-retrospect points about female psychology, the Muslims themselves have to go back to their ancestral lands where they can rape their women and goats in peace, until such time as they become civilized or dead.

If we don’t detect and condemn true evil, we substitute something.
The more “real” evil we ignore, the more trivial we need to have a fit over.
BTW, I was told that I, “Sounded like a Republican” yesterday, and it was not meant as a compliment, and I was so surprised by the statement that I didn’t react to it.

I am confused and saddened by people who seem to think that the facts are not as important as “showing support” “against racism”.

narciso (732bc0) — 7/12/2016 @ 10:05 amI didn’t realize this tweet had no backstory to it, and it was entirely the MORE magazine editorix discovering a serious deficiency in the way an airline functioned that nobody else had noticed.
It did devalue what the stewardesses were doing, and implied it was not worth paying attention to on its own merits.
I suppose the pilot said what he said because nobody pays any attention to the safety instructions anyway, because either they already heard it, or it goes by too fast to understand if they didn’t; or possibly both reasons at the same time, that is, they heard it many times and never understood and are never going to understand it if all that happens is that the same words get repeated over and over again; so he thought maybe he could get people to at least pretend to be paying attention, so in case any bosses were watching, they’d be satisfied. But that may be drilling down too far.
Sammy Finkelman (c82029) — 7/12/2016 @ 10:10 amnarciso (732bc0) — 7/12/2016 @ 10:05 am
Fidel was looking for anything that violated United states immigration laws in the hopes that would get the United States to want to reject the refugees, because he knew if it went on long enough his regime would be over. As indeed the Communist regimes of Eastern Europe ended in Hungary and East Germany once the Iron Curtain (in the case of Hungary) and the Berlin Wall (in the case of East Germany) went down. If we’d just let it go on a few weeks or months longer, that would have been the end of Castro.
Castro wasn’t looking for what was objectively bad, just what was against U.S. immigration law. So he sent a lot of homosexuals (many of them, it turned out, to their doom, as they acquired AIDS_) Nowadays they’d be the first to get political asylum, and Castro wouldn’t have sent them.
The INS asked people who they were. The real criminals didn’t volunteer that, and that wa staht even though sometimes people on the same boat pointed them out, because of tattoos or something they’d said, or because some other people came from the same prison, while others were detained.
There were a lot of people convicted of sexual offenses who turned out to be real refugees. It had been the practice in Cuba when the son or daughter of a regime official had a relationship with a person of the opposite sex with whom the parents(s) didn’t want their child to have one with, to send the other young person to jail – if it was a boy seeing a girl who was the daughter of somebody important, he was convicted of rape; and if it was girl seeing a boy, she was convicted of prostitution. There were also people convicted of theft that wasn’t really considered theft by the United States. (usually of state property)

Sammy Finkelman (643dcd) — 7/12/2016 @ 12:18 pmSammy,
Whats sad is that in theory it should be easier for the Euros to deal with it, since the longtime Muslim population seems to be the criminal du jour as opposed to a buffer group that does grunt level “hood” retail, medicine, unglamorous (i.e. civil) engineering as in the States. Col. Ralph Peters in a NY Post column several years ago spoke of this as a reason that Europe would be quicker to backlash than the US – Peters actually stated in the column that (keep in mind this is about 2008 or so) that the US gets the good Muslims.
urbanleftbehind (5eecdb) — 7/12/2016 @ 12:27 pmI think you’re comparing Muslims in Europe vs Muslims in the United States. I don;t understand what you mean by “hood” retail. Are they two separate things?
Even in Europe, it was second generation. One reason it didn’t happen in the United State is, true, that Muslims were more educated, but the other reason is that modern western democracies’ criminal justiice systems tend to create a criminal class. In the United States that function was occupied mainly by African Americans after the 1930s. You get the slightest real differential, combined with residential segregation, and it gets magnified pretty quickly.

Actually, in the U.S. the backlash should be against blacks, if there is going to be backlash. A big problem is that people, and taht includes Col. Ralph Peters, don’t understand what’s going on.
It doesn’t have too much to do with where people are coming from – it has to do with people who grow up in urban “ghettos” where everything is wrong.
The problem with terrorism is separate – the only connection is that terrorist and radical groups recruit in prisons, sometimes planting people in the prison staff, especially chaplains, and the terrorist group can give some meaning to a person’s life if they are enough of an idiot and also cruel.
