The Local: Mass sexual assaults by refugees in Frankfurt 'completely made up'
Mass sexual assaults by refugees in Frankfurt 'completely made up'
Prosecutors in Frankfurt are investigating two people for making up a crime, after they claimed in a national newspaper that dozens of Arab men rioted and sexually assaulted women at New Year. The claims first appeared in Bild newspaper on February 6th, which described the men as a "rioting sex mob," speculating that they had come from a refugee home in central Hesse.

I don't think these people realize what happens when they stir anti-refugee sentiment. When you say "the refugees are raping our women" people will say "I have to defend my people against the refugees" and you end up with a bunch of "justified" hate crimes and even more hateful rhetoric. Fake news stories could literally kill people.
This "mass sexual assault" has been the #1 argue point for the alt-right against refugees. I bet they'll say this is fake news for exposing fake news.
This is literally how genocides have started in the past.
This another text book example of made up stories by the extreme and far right in Europe. Such lies are done to help bolster their appeal to emotion attacks on main stream political parties in various EU countries.
I worry about the number of hate crime that will be commited by people that fell for the fake rape story
"I was a victim of this tragedy."
"You were 100 miles away."
"We are all victims of all tragedies."
Shocked.
Fake news. 🙄
