Oktoberfest sees rise in reported sex crimes despite lowest attendance in 15yrs

This year's Oktoberfest saw the least amount of people turning up at the Munich event in 15 years, but still experienced an increase in sex crimes reported to police, the Local writes.

Around 5.6 million people visited the festival this year, a drop of 300,000 compared to the previous year. The number represents the lowest since 2001, when 5.5 million attended the event, which took place soon after the 9/11 terror attacks.

As the numbers dropped, so did the amount of crime – with one type a notable exception. Thirty-one sex crimes were reported to police this year, compared to 21 in 2015.

Other incidents occurred which didn't always involve official police reports, according to the support group Safer Wiesn for Girls and Women, which counted 215 women who came to a security checkpoint for help. Eighteen of those had experienced violence. That number also represents an increase from last year, when 197 women came to the checkpoint for help.

The crimes occurred despite increased security at the event, which saw organizers arrange entrance checks for everyone attending the festival grounds for the first time in the event's 200-year history.

The increased security came amid ongoing terrorism concerns throughout Germany, following recent attacks. In July, a shooting spree in Munich left 10 people dead. That same week, a teenager in Würzburg attacked train passengers with an ax and a man blew himself up outside a music festival in Ansbach.

The Germans needs one of those Ass Kicking festivals like the one Clark Griswold got his ass handed to him at.

What ever happened to those dudes in Germany?

I mean those Muzzies getting a couple wooden Clogs up the shitter, I think would send them swimming back home.

Ignorant sluts get exactly what they deserve.
Just like D & R Voters doing nothing but continuing the status quo.

10,000 or more sexual abused women saying this shit stops or there will be blood
might get a little attention.
Maiming for life might be proper punishment.
Donald Trump didn't quite get it right. FUCK THE POLITICALLY CORRECT.

Don't expect too much & one won't be disappointed.

"Organizers said this was due to greater awareness on the part of authorities.

Still, the group “Safer Wiesn for Girls and Women” counted 215 women who came to a security checkpoint for help - up from 197 last year - and 18 of the women had experienced violence.

There was a drop in other kinds of crimes, such as pickpocketing incidents and the number of people hitting one another with the heavy Maß beer jugs."

Wake me when the "it was rapey muslim immigrants" premise can be validated. I know they are all heavily into beer culture. (snicker)
