Mayor of Cologne: women should have code of conduct to prevent future assault
2016-01-06
The Mayor of Cologne said today that women should adopt a “code of conduct” to prevent future assault at a crisis meeting following the sexual attack of women by 1000 men on New Year’s eve.

Mayor Henriette Reker attended an emergency meeting with Chief of Police Wolfgang Albers and Wolfgang Wurm to discuss how to deal with the attack, where dozens of women were repeatedly touched and groped, with one case of alleged rape in the center of town.

“It is important to prevent such incidents from ever happening again,” said Mayor Reker, as reported in German by RP Online. “We have heard by now that they [the attacks] have occurred in other cities. This of course is not comforting to us.”

The crisis management team said prevention measures should include a code of conduct for young women and girls, and Mayor Reker said the existing code of conduct will be updated online.
Burqas, either black or blue, and escort by a male relative at all times. Wimmin shouldn't drive either. No makeup, jewelry, fingernail polish or pumps. Best just to stay at home according to the good mayor...
The suggested code of conduct includes maintaining an arm’s length distance from strangers, to stick within your own group, to ask bystanders for help or to intervene as a witness, or to inform the police if you are the victim of such an assault.
Inform the police if you're assaulted? I'll bet that never occurred to anyone...
In anticipation of large carnivals in the city centre in February, Mayor Reker promised an increased police presence. She warned young women about potential dangers of drunken events.

Mayor Reker also said a “better explanation” to asylum seekers was needed about the meaning of the annual carnivals. “We need to prevent confusion about what constitutes happy behaviour and what is utterly separate from openness, especially in sexual behaviour," she said.
Because separating clean fun from sexual assault is such a confusing thing at a carnival...
The attackers were described as North African and Arab appearance by the police. The Mayor has said that not all of the attackers were newly-arrived refugees and had already been known to the police, as reported by The Local.
Why should the new refugees have all the fun?

#16   I realize that these women were caught off guard, but didn't any of them try the good old go-for-the-gold tactic

My conclusion, based on what I've read about this incident as well as what happened to women on Tahrir Square is that the miscreants swarmed to isolate individuals, and then swarmed to assault each one, often pinning them down or lifting them off the ground. Under such circumstqnces, grabbing anything would be difficult. As for the men, I have to imagine -- knowing the cultures involved, that at least some of them were similarly molested, and the rest also were swarmed at the very least. Not the kind of thing many would complain about, nor would the reporters be very interested.

#15  In Köln, town of Muslim molesters,
Frau Reker now counsels her sisters,
"Ye Nymphs, avoid sewers!
Eschew Muslim wooers!
Use German virginity testers!"

#14  I realize that these women were caught off guard, but didn't any of them try the good old go-for-the-gold tactic?

(You know, grab the scrotum of the offender, twist and pull - hard.)

Inquiring minds and all that.

#13  Bring back the Chastity belt for the sake of diversity.

Perhaps add a poisoned needle to the thing as well for those days when walking through carnaval or near a mosque.

#11  Code of conduct? That's the best the mayor has got for her townfolk? Guess that German women are better about just following orders than American women.

#10  I believe there is already such a code, called "Fechtkampf mit schlogger"

#8  Just being an indigenous male in most Western Euro countries is pretty much a crime in of itself these days. After decades of leftist scapegoating, perhaps it shouldn't be too much of a surprise if they refuse to defend their government/communities against the results of their own poor governance.

#7  There's a code of conduct called "jail after a fair trial" to prevent assault.

Why not try that and halt immigration subsidised by extorting German taxpayers while your at it.

#6  Women of Germany - if you are attacked sue the Government for compensation

they let in the Islamists

They knew - or should have known given the public speeches on record - that Islamists regularly preach that Western women are fair game for sexual predation.

Islamists teach their followers that muslims are superior to non-muslims

hijabi women are modest and to be respected

those not wearing a hijab are sluts and you can do what you like with them

this is taught to young men and you can see the result. A sense of entitlement and sexual predation.

Secular muslims hate this and do not want a bar of it.

The problem is Islamist supremacism

So women of Germany - make your government pay. Start documenting attacks. Take photos and screenshots of mosques and imams preaching that hijabis deserve more respect than non-hijabis

only if your government is forced to pay you compensation will they ever change their policy

#4  Where the hell were the MEN of Cologne, while their women were being assaulted?

At Gays for Palestine demonstration.

#3  So women are somehow to blame here? I guess the government will do anything but fix the problem or admit they effed up.

#2  Where the hell were the MEN of Cologne, while their women were being assaulted? If I heard of 100 women being "successfully" assaulted, I would expect to be hearing about dozens of muzzies turning up at the morgue, or at least the hospital.

#1  Can you image what the media would say if The Donald of Trump had said that???

What the heck women's rights people have been saying for YEARS that rape and other forms of sexual battery were not the result of the women acted or dressed...and we've got a bizzillion years of jurisprudence to go with it.

Just goes to show you the liberals have one set of standards for Westerners and one set of standards for the poor waifs of Islam.
