INCREDIBLE. BERLIN TO HAVE SAFE ZONES FOR WOMEN ON NEW YEAR'S EVE – AT 12:44 P.M. ET: Of course, the language is hedged. We must be oh so careful. But the facts speak for themselves. Reckless immigration policies lead to very bad things. From BBC:
The new security measures planned for the Brandenburg Gate party come amid concerns about sexual assaults.
A large number of assaults and robberies targeting women at Cologne's New Year's Eve celebrations two years ago horrified Germany.
Hundreds of women reported being attacked by gangs of men with migrant backgrounds.
Ah yes, "migrant backgrounds." You know, people from Topeka, San Diego, maybe Tokyo or Ottawa.
The events in Cologne heightened tensions in the country over the large influx of refugees and migrants - 1.1m people arrived in Germany in 2015, some, but by no means all, fleeing violence in Syria and Iraq.
Hundreds of thousands of people are expected to attend the New Year's Eve party in Berlin on Sunday and security will be strict. Large bags, such as rucksacks, and alcoholic drinks will be banned at the Brandenburg Gate.
Women who have been assaulted or feel harassed will be able to get support at a special "safety zone", staffed by the German Red Cross, on Ebertstrasse.
COMMENT: Well, at least they're facing reality. Cultures aren't the same, and they aren't equal. And we have no obligation to avert our eyes just to be "multicultural."
