I said it was serious, is what I said. I don't take assaults on women lightly. I was just balancing out the Breitbert article with info that indicated there could be some exaggeration in play with respect to the facts. The article implied the perpetrators were refugees (i.e. of recent arrival). Not necessarily. Nor was the number "1,000" as a descriptor seemingly correct. Seemed kind of sensationalist to me; Breitbert tends to like to appeal to the "fear of others" in its readers.

Apparently you are not willing to look at anything except what you have already decided. Thank you though for the excerpt - it is hilarious. "Especially in the latter question, the investigators talked more rain in recent days. According coincident testimonies of affected women, the perpetrators "of North African origin" should be." Noam Chomsky would be proud.
