Just to be clear I was blaming poverty for
some of them turning to crime i.e. theft, shoplifting, NOT rape or other sexual crimes. I also made the point that there are clearly criminals amongst the hordes but maybe you missed that bit.
I've lost count of the number of times I've pointed out the serious problems which will inevitably result from this influx whether it be from an existing criminal or terrorist element or whether it come further down the line when expectations haven't been met, life in the EU has been proved to be a lot harder than was thought and those on the fringes of society gradually get drawn into criminal activity. Maybe you'd care to look by at my posts here early in January after the sexual assaults were starting to be made public, having been 'avoided' by the mainstream media here. I don't see any excuses for that appalling behaviour then and there aren't any now.
Why would it surprise anyone that criminals whose lives have quite probably been made very difficult in their home countries would seize on a opportunity to move to another country (whether it be via 'forced immigration' or via free movement rules) where they're unknown and the opportunities for illegality far greater?
A tinderbox of social unrest, criminality and even terrorism is being created in the EU and the very many lessons from the past concerning large scale migration appear not to have been learned. For the victims of all of this whether the criminality pre-existed or was as a result of various, almost inevitable, factors post immigration, it's really not much comfort. Pointing out what will be, for a proportion of migrants, the almost inevitable outcome of mass movement into communities which may be (and increasingly are) hostile and have very different rules of acceptable social behaviour etc. isn't excusing it.
