Related: About this forumTYT: Widespread Sexual Attacks On Women Explode On New Years Eve
In Cologne Germany there were many reports of sexual attacks on women. The reports came on New Years Eve, and the women report being attacked by groups of Arab or African looking men. Ana Kasparian and John Iadarola (ThinkTank) hosts of The Young Turks discuss.

There were protests in Cologne on Tuesday night in front of the cathedral which, along with the train station, was the scene of mayhem on New Years Eve when a crowd of about 1000 young men, many of them drunk, attacked passersby and police with fireworks, and went on a robbery and sexual assault rampage.
Police say the assailants were of north African or Arabic appearance, a fact born out by witnesses.
We were fondled, I was groped between my legs. My friends also were fondled. My boyfriend tried to pull me away. There was quite a big group of people, maybe thirty or forty, said one clearly distressed victim.
Men detained by the police said they were firing the fireworks for fun. But it was no fun for Jenny.
I heard a sizzling sound in my hood. I somehow tried to get the firecracker out of the hood. Then it fell into my jacket and burned everything. The scars will be permanent. I was lucky that it didnt explode.
