"German police union chief slams NYE ‘safe zone’ for women
***
The comments by Rainer Wendt, who heads the right-leaning DpolG union, come amid an ongoing debate in Germany about how to tackle an increase in sexual assaults.

Wendt told the Neue Osnabruecker Zeitung daily in an interview published Saturday that establishing such a safe zone sends a “devastating message.”

“By doing so one is saying there are safe zones and unsafe zones” for women that could result in “the end of equality, freedom of movement and self-determination,” the newspaper quoted him as saying.

Wendt said the move appeared to ignore the “political dimension” in Germany, two years after hundreds of women reported being assaulted or robbed during New Year’s Eve celebrations in Cologne. The suspects in most of those assaults were migrants.

The number of rapes and sexual assaults recorded in Germany last year rose 12.8 percent compared to 2015, to 7,919 cases, an increase blamed on an influx of asylum-seekers, many young and male.

Other security measures in Berlin include concrete blocks to prevent vehicle attacks and bag searches at entrances to the party area."

This reminds me of @Patrick's comments about migration, including the idea of an instinctive test. Some people appear to have underestimated the danger:

"Afghan teen in custody over fatal stabbing of German girl
***
A 15-year-old Afghan refugee was in police custody on suspicion of manslaughter in Ludwigshafen on Thursday after allegedly stabbing his ex-girlfriend to death in the southwestern German town of Kandel, in the state of Rhineland-Palatinate.
***
While the boy is currently being held on allegations of manslaughter, investigators will examine whether his actions constitute murder. The maximum penalty for both manslaughter and murder under German juvenile law is 10 years.

At the Thursday press conference, deputy chief of police Eberhard Weber said the girl's parents had filed a criminal complaint about the boy on December 15, after he threatened their daughter for breaking up with him."

"Germany offers cash to asylum-seekers to return to their home countries
***
Germany has been funding the voluntary return of migrants for several years. Last year figures reached a peak when 55,000 returned home voluntarily. More than half were given cash handouts.
***
The International Organisation for Migration, which organises cash-funded returnee schemes, cites former refugees such as Methak B – a 33-year-old Iraqi citizen who fled to Germany in 2012 with his wife and two-year-old son.
***
When his wife became pregnant again, the family applied to return home. They were helped with government handouts and a reintegration programme for northern Iraq, which enabled Methak to start a stationery shop in the centre of his home city of Erbil."

@curious2 I don't remember that "instinctive test". Not that I didn't say it, but maybe you can remind me what was about.

I do think that publicly stating that you will obey the laws of the country above the laws of the Koran (or bible, or any holy book) should be a requirement to enter the country at all. If you won't promise to obey our laws, you should not be allowed in. Yes, lots of people will lie about it, but it's still important to make a clear point that our laws apply to them, and that they promised to obey. Maybe they should even have to write it down, because psych research shows that simply writing down a phrase makes you more likely to believe it. Very short and clear, like "I swear to obey the laws of the United States above all other laws, especially above all religious laws in cases where the two conflict."

Several people have referred to the idea, including IIRC one of your screen names. Here is an example. If you haven't called it a test or similar, then I'm sorry for misattributing it.

This was a crime hard to top wrt brutality and heinousness, as the stabbing were multiple and utterly disfiguring. The officials claim that perp is 15 though it's likely he is an adult. It pains me to see this great country so cucked, but a lot of it as to do with guilt from WW2. It needs a revolution and Merkel needs to be tried for treason.
