Berlin "Safe Zone" thread

Posted by LuchAAA on Sat Dec 30 16:23:59 2017

Authorities will establish a "Safe Zone" for women on New Year's Eve in Berlin for whatever they do to celebrate.

I'd like to read some OTchatthoughts on this.

What, not in Hamburg, Düsseldorf, Köln or other cities?

The existence of "safe zones" implies they've allowed no-go areas. You know, the ones they keep denying exist.

It reminds me of an incident decades ago at an NYC zoo (I forget whether Bronx or Central Park) in which numbers of captive zoo birds were being killed inside their open air (but caged) enclosures.

When some said that the birds have to be put inside secure enclosures others said this would be a terrible concession to violence in society.

But at least one person said that in a society where people will no longer control their own impulses we have to consider physical barriers.

I may be recalling the details imperfectly but that's the gist of it.

So in Berlin. If that society can not or will not count on the restraints of civilization to prevent mass violence against women in a celebration, we may need to offer women a "cage," not to keep them in, but to keep the thugs out.

I can't think of a way to put it more politely.

Here's MY final solution ( pun intended, accompanied by an emoji so not to invoke Poe's law) 😃

Deport all foreigners from Berlin, Germany, Europe. Problem solved. If problems still persist, deport all ethnic non-Germans.

There ya go!

Poorly vetted immigrants are causing a crime problem in Germany. It is however a small crime problem relative to the overall US crime problem.

So in Berlin. If that society can not or will not count on the restraints of civilization to prevent mass violence against women in a celebration, we may need to offer women a "cage," not to keep them in, but to keep the thugs out.

I can't think of a way to put it more politely.


No need to put it more politely. In performing a major humanitarian act, Germany inadvertently let in a whole bunch of thugs. Now Germany has to figure out the best way of preventing the thugs from doing more damage without destroying the political progress it has made in the last 100 years.

The "cages" obviously aren't an ideal approach, and they may not even be a good approach. But maybe they are a good short term solution. They are certainly a better short term solution than returning to authoritarianism.

In the longer term, the goal has to be to make it clear to the thugs that their behavior will not be tolerated, and that there will be severe penalties for engaging in it.

No. I had family members who had Prussian ancestry dating back 200 years who were deported in 1939.

Women celebrate the same as men. Just without the harassment. Without being gawked at, propositioned unwantingly, and generlly hassled for simply being in the room. Something like being civilized. There's a serious need for it.

Returning to Authoritarianism is a better solution than having the indigenous natives resort to being put in cages. The P.C. ideology is keeping the animals OUT of the cages, but the Germans in? Um..yeah, no.

Suggesting authoritarianism this early in the discussion shows you haven't really thought this through. Authoritarian rule puts everyone in a cage and is beyond the last resort.

If you go back and reread what I said, I do not tell you how many to do that. I gave you my solution. The 800-pound gorilla in the room that lots of people that don't want to discuss is Islam immigrants who don't want to assimilate to German ways and customs. These followers expect the Germans to accommodate their worldview

What I find comical is that people think that Germans can't solve this. Yes, safe zones are stupid but they're probably some municipal employee's idea to make his or her job easier, rather than dope out a long term solution. And that doesn't include going full Hitler. The last hijacking attempt in Germany was over in under a minute with all hijackers killed. Nobody went full Hitler then and they won't now. They'll fix it; they always do.

I would find it comical if it weren't so dangerous. There are significant minorities in every country who want to go full Hitler, and BB and others egg them on.
