This is incredible, and I don't know which is more mind-boggling:
- Hundreds of German girls were sexually assaulted in public by a thousand foreign men, right in the city center.
- The German police swept the attack under the rug and actually reported with delight that the celebration-turned-horror show were "happy and peaceful".
- The German media managed to cover the whole thing up for FIVE days and refuses to acknowledge it until it blew up on social media.
- The German mayor lady blamed the victims for not keeping at arms length between them and the pepetrators.
Holy shit. The last time something like this went down in Germany, I believe East Berlin were still under the gentle care of the vengeful Red Army.
Replace 'German media' by 'Cologne police' and I agree with your post (except your numbers in the first paragraph are a little high from all we know, but that is not important). Local media were reporting as soon as the evening of Jan 1st, and we are talking about not small local media but media with quite some reach. The scandal is that it took days for police to even acknowledge there was a story.
