German Streets Descend into Lawlessness
2016-11-02
[GatestoneInstitute] "We are losing control of the streets."
Key points fleshed out in the article with many examples:
  • During the first six months of 2016, migrants colonists committed 142,500 crimes, according to the Federal Criminal Police Office. This is equivalent to 780 crimes committed by migrants colonists every day, an increase of nearly 40% over 2015. The data includes only those crimes in which a suspect has been caught.

  • Thousands of migrants colonists who entered the country as "asylum seekers" or "refugees" have gone missing. They are, presumably, economic migrants colonists who entered Germany on false pretenses. Many are thought to be engaging in robbery and criminal violence.

  • Local police in many parts of the country admit that they are stretched to the limit and are unable to maintain law and order.

  • "Drug trafficking takes place right before our eyes. If we intervene, we are threatened, spat on, insulted. Sometimes someone whips out a knife. They are always the same people. They are ruthless, fearless and have no problems with robbing even the elderly." -- Private security guard.

  • According to Freddi Lohse of the German Police Union in Hamburg, many migrant offenders view the leniency of the German justice system as a green light to continue delinquent behavior. "They are used to tougher consequences in their home countries," he said. "They have no respect for us."

  • "It cannot be that offenders continue to fill the police files, hurt us physically, insult us, whatever, and there are no consequences. Many cases are closed or offenders are released on probation or whatever. Yes, what is happening in the courts today is a joke." -- Tania Kambouri, German police officer.

    • It seems safe to assume that the rest of Europe is experiencing similar excitements, about which they are similarly mum.

    #25  Migrants also do not commit more crimes than Germans

    (before we get started, let me declare I am NOT accusing anyone of misrepresenting)

    As a budding stats weenie, one thing I have learned to watch for when people start tossing numbers around is the difference between raw totals and rates. Are we talking X instances total or X per thousand people?

    Example: roughly speaking, the number of Blacks on welfare in the US is the same as the number of Whites on welfare. Equality, right? No, this is misleading because Whites are roughly 60% of the US population and Blacks are around 13%. So while the gross totals are equal, the rates between the two populations are wildly different. Said another way, 60% of the population accounts for half the welfare recipients while 13% of the population accounts for the other half.

    #24  I'm referring to the same statistics of the Bundeskriminalamt the article in question is referring to.

    I'm not saying that there is no problem (there is), but crimes Germans mostly suffer from are burglaries committed by criminal groups from South East Europe (Romania, Bulgaria, Serbia, Albania etc.)

    #22  EC: that's one helluva caveat you got there. Your stats lack any and all context and are therefore close to meaningless. I see where you're attempting to go and you may have a point, but this isn't it.

    #21  Basting is a cooking technique that involves cooking meat with either its own juices or some type of preparation such as a sauce or marinade.

    When the time and patience for basting has been accomplished, the push for Sharia Law will begin in earnest.

    #20  (riding buses without tickets, document forgery, petty theft)

    Certainly minor crimes compared with murder, gang-rape, beating and stabbing. However, get enough of that stuff and it will kill off a high-trust society.

    The Broken Windows model of policing speaks to what happens when minor crimes become tolerated and commonplace.

    #19  "During the first six months of 2016, migrants committed 142,500 crimes"

    The number is correct, but the numbers are actually down by 36%.

    Migrants also do not commit more crimes than Germans (with the caveat that some migrant groups, especially North Africa, Somalia, Eritrea and West Africa) do commit more crimes than Germans). People from Syria commit less crimes than German nationals.

    Most of these crimes are non violent and would actually qualify as misdemeanors (riding buses without tickets, document forgery, petty theft). Sexual crimes are just 1.1 %. Dug trafficking accounts for 6.6%.

    #18  Any thought of giving them safe havens - you know, like neo-colonial lands back in the old continent? Carving out 'safe havens' used to be an Old Euro pastime. Or would such competently run enclaves be too much of an embarrassment to the neighbors (and UN assembly members)?

    #15  I recommend a European 'Two State' solution with Marseille as the Islamic capital.

    You're gonna give 'em prime ocean front property knowing how well that worked in Gaza? The only real solution is to ship 'em all back to Africa or the Middle East or wherever...just get rid of them.

    #13  When a country is at peace for a long time the Army deteriorates and is drawn down to save money.

    The Euros have had a long period of internal peace and have drawn down their police both physically and, more importantly, attitudinally.

    Now when they're needed and needed to be tough they aren't there or capable of handling the situation.

    #11  ...while the progressives are all wrapped up with 'race' statistics in nearly every other venue, when it comes to crime, they seem to want everyone to ignore the same analysis.

    #10  Lawlessness in our streets would be our future too should the "Open Borders" flood continue. Wait a minute; there is Chicago, LA, NYC, Washington DC., etc.

    #9  Many are thought to be engaging in robbery and criminal violence.

    Why do you rob banks? Cause that's where the money is. Doing to the Euros what Cortez and Pizarro did to the locals.

    #6  But they'll will want a two state solution in every European country, Besoeker. After all, you can't expect North African Arabs in France to get along with "Syrians" in Germany, or Pathans in UK.
