Cologne and other cities, New Year’s Eve 2015. IIRC the (female) mayor suggested the young women should “stay at arm’s length distance” or some similar inane stupidity.
Yeah, good luck with that in a crowd.

Yes,I’m not surprised by a “keep an arm’s length” comment.But I distinctly recall “dress more modestly” being recommended by one official.
