I was actually in Cologne that new year's eve.

It was bloody scary.

What it reminded me most of at the time was when the Egyptian rioters turned on the women fighting along side them. It was very much a case of them trying to terrorise women to make them scared to be out on the streets, put them in their place. This is what people don't get, Charlie Hebdo got it dead wrong, it's not a case of these men losing control or not knowing how to act in Western society. Rather it's a concerted, tactical, political campaign of violence and sexual abuse to change society, gain power for themselves and control the behaviour of women, even women they will never know.
