I was trying to be polite. Very well, how about this? Let's not be bigoted and stereotype people based on certain events.

Let's not care if women and girls can go out in public without fear of being harasses or attacked?
This is something we take for granted in the West. In Islamic countries they have to be escorted by male relatives when they go anywhere. This is why. Arab men know what Arab men are like.

The person in the video is sixteen, policy decisions are not made based on videos of clumsy teenagers and their incoherent thoughts.

So what you are saying is that her fear is not substantiated? She is just a clumsy teenager and whatever she experienced is not real? Have you ever walked down the street as a teenager and saw a group of young teenage boys and be afraid to walk by because in the past, they surrounded you and groped you and thought it was funny? Maybe you are right, I don't know.
However, I am really concerned with the blase attitude I have been reading on these boards by several posters regarding the cover-ups of the New Years Eve debacle, the 15 year old boy that was stabbed in Sweden protecting a friend who was being sexually harassed, the young Swede woman who was recently murdered.
I don't care the race, religion, ethnicity by any of these attackers, but I have heard one too many comments by some men on these boards that lead me to believe that sexist prejudice is alive and well, but kept secret. Thank God, for young women like her who speak their mind.

Incoherent?
Maybe if it was a girl you knew..?
A daughter, a sister...?
But she means nothing, nor do others of her age?
Isnt that a tad bit self centered to ignore others founded fears?

What Christ-like compassion.
And if policy decisions are not made based on videos like this, why does the German government feel it neccessary to censor this video from Facebook?

All such censorship does is drive the populace to more drastic measures.
Both the government and the local media have shown that the cannot be trusted in their tellings of events relating to refugees. So people will have to turn elsewhere for their information. This will largely be through rumor, through fringe sites, and through propaganda of anti-migrant groups. It is not exactly reliable information and information given with an agenda, but it is the only information that the populace has, since the government and media gives them none. And since they have been abandoned by the usual authorities anywya, the agenda it had been packaged with will seem less and less off putting.
Migration on this scale was never going to happen without conflict. The government seems to think that it can keep conflict from being real if it ignores any conflicts which do occur, but all it does in the end is make moderate and peaceful resolution impossible. Conflict was inevitable, but the scale of it could have been minimized. Any possibility of that now is less and less likely.

The problem with this approach is that another person may make a video saying the exact opposite. So policy decisions should be based on this video or a thousand other videos floating on YouTube?

I don't think anyone is saying that policy decisions should be based on this one girl's video. However, she is bringing to light some of the events that are real that have happened in Germany (and elsewhere). I have my own opinions about the influx of 100's of thousands of refugees to these countries and how it came to be. But that is neither here nor there. It's bigger than I am. I don't know what the answer is, but there has to a plan. You can't just bury your head in the sand and act like this is not really happening.
