Especially the whole keeping it quiet thing so as to not draw attention to the problem.

Likewise the way the officials at first pretended it didn't happen at NYE or tried to minimize it.

And it's damn sad how many women who have been or will be assaulted by this- and it's even sadder that I have seen reports of some who have come forward to report assaults being attacked as racists for reporting it.

It's a huge mess that there is no good way out of. The narrative was cast early on when German authorities kept denying it was related to refugees or immigrants, their later moved to try and find and prosecute people were too little, too late for public opinion.

And now the mess is causing huge rifts in the left with people seeing it as a racial/religious discrimination issue vs a womens rights issue and that's starting to tear apart the left.

It's just a huge mess- and only the Trumps and Le Pens of the world are winning from it. The left loses, women in these country lose, and the migrants who are not doing this all lose....
