We're still not clear on the scale of this, the crimes alleged and the status of those who did it. The numbers for example vary wildly from hundreds of men to small groups and so on. Reports are coming of it happen in other German cities but we're not sure what exactly happened in those cities. It may have happened in Finland too but the police were proactive.
The real lighting of the fuse here will be the nationality of any of those arrested. If they are, as suggested, refugees then this will become a massive issue. Until we know for sure though....

Refugees? Economic migrants? Such is the concern about the abject failure of the EU to control this mass migration that I don't think it really matters who these people are if it turns out they're 'foreign'. People are fed up with what's going on and the lack of control which is so clearly evident. Even where it hasn't already happened, IMHO that sentiment is, sadly, likely to extend to genuine refugees sooner or later.

Meanwhile back in non-Schengenland we've just granted asylum to a Sudanese guy who broke all the rules, passed through various safe countries, breached security in Calais and then walked through the channel tunnel. Presumably being allowed to remain here is the severe punishment which has been meted out and it's intended to send out a clear message to others who'd dare to try the same tactic.

I'm beginning to think the migrants have taken over the reception centre...
