Photos and videos captured that night show young women trying to push through crowds of up to 300 men pressing in on them. Some of the women were crying, some yelling, others were being defended by their friends. Many of the women said they used their shoes to beat off gropers. A short distance away, an emcee walked out of his event and stumbled upon 25 men threatening a group of women. According to some women on the scene, not only was the harassment frightening, the apathy of cops who looked away and didn't intervene was worse.
In the days that have followed, the official stance on the mass harassment has done somersaults. First the police vowed to punish the offenders and called on the victims to file police complaints. Three days later, the police said they found no street camera footage to support the claims of sexual harassment, although the police commissioner has since said there is "credible evidence" of the attacks.
And then came the remarks of home minister G. Parameshwara, one of the highest ranking officials in the state of Karnataka, of which Bangalore is the capital. He went on record to say: "Youngsters ... try to copy the Westerners not only in the mindset but even the dressing. So some disturbance, some girls are harassed, these kind of things do happen."
On January 3, Abu Azmi of Mumbai, the state leader of a political party, said on national TV: "If my sister or daughter is roaming around on December 31 with random men who aren't their husband or brother, I don't think that's right." He added, "If there's petrol near fire, it will burn. If there is sugar, ants will come." His words were highlighted in angry tweets.

And Joe Biden missed out on the “grope”, which he didn’t at the swearing in of new congress critters. This groping on a whole new level though vs. pervie Joe.
NPR found something outside America to criticize?
Bangalore -has a significant Muslim population. This is especially true of the neighborhoods around the molestation hot spots.
Repeat of what happened in Germany.
Are the cops union in that country?
In the balkanized 3rd world city of San Jose, the cops also stood aside and did nothing as Trump supporters got beat. The chief is a white-hating mexican.

Bangalore? I don’t even know ‘er...
Little by little, the only protection for women will be Sharia Law.
Women will obey because it is the only bit of safety to be had.
Muslim gropers sounds right, but I may be falling prey to my own confirmation bias.
You don’t know the little ‘ore?
NPR requires no more than a handful of employees to spin classical music. Its otherwise compressed, insipid commentary isn’t something I want to be taxed for.
“they were beating off gropers with their shoes.”
Some kinda kama sutra thing?
I suspect that Muslim men don’t grope women because they can’t help themselves. This is a demonstration of power, and a punishment for not following Islamic rules. A woman is supposed to stay where she can’t be seen by men outside her family, and harassing them like this is meant to make them afraid to mingle with men, and learn to stay home.
There is no protection for women under Sharia,unless you are willing to sell your soul. Under Sharia, a muslin cannot have sex unless you are his wife, so under Sharia, he can kill your husband, declare you his wife, have his way then divorce you, selling you into sexual slavery.
Now if you are OK with that and are willing to worship Satan, he might only beat you, or not believe you.
Then it’s between his pocket book or his rage. You either die, or wish you could.
If you don’t believe me, look it up your self. The only conjecture I allowed my self was changing the name of Allah to Satan.
Because it’s obvious that is the proper translation in english. After all in the Koran and the commentarys, Allah lives in hell stoking the fires with the damned.
It’s a clue...
If the women had knives and traveled in groups, this would stop real quick.
It is a deathly insult in Islam to be hit with a shoe. They were shamed. Shame is the Achille’s heel of islam, it is how they are controlled. With no way to lift the burden of sin, shame builds up with explosive force, so much so that they are willing to kill themselves to be free of it. Their Imams know this and exploit it fully.
You all think liberals are insane... Islam has them beat by a mile.
Sharia law or guns. . .hard decision.
