(1,561 posts)You think it's ok to get safety advice. And as an American, I understand why you think it's ok. In America, you are kept in a constant state of fear: carjackings, guns, police may kill you, terror terror terror, children kidnapped, Amber alerts, etc.
You don't have that in Germany at all. People feel safe here. You see women out by themselves at 3am by themselves walking home. My wife used to leave our son outside in a stroller when he was a baby while she did some quick shopping (surely someone would call the police on me in the US)
Germans see that the refugees, foreigners, or whoever these 1000 men were as guests in their country. Germans do not feel they have to change their behavior to accommodate these people in their own country. They never had to worry about their safety before and why should they now because of these 1000 assholes.
