That I can’t answer. I had a Spanish colleague back in a previous job and he was a very cool dude. But the group referenced in the article appears to have a well deserved reputation. I’ve even seen that type of family/clan moral compass (financial scam, not physical) here in the US in another job role. Not commendable.
Pretty sure most states still allow Women to marry at 16, men at 18.
LADIES:
What were YOU doing at age 12???
Planning on getting RAPED & then preggers with twins?
AT 12?????
Raped a 12-year-old girl just a part of the culture.
Sounds like all the male filth coming across our borders.
Biden approved asks is it shower time yet?.
I’m thinking 25 years minimum. Maybe divorce would go down. I know that will never happen. But no a bad idea.
Great story!
Have you ever wondered how far back you'd have to go in your family tree to find an "underaged" female ancestor?
So many Gypsy jokes..... They are generally held in very low regard by near everyone in Europe.
“A 12 year old Gypsy girl asks her mother, “I think there is something wrong with father, he stopped sleeping with me.”
I guess that could go for Joe Biden too.
I’m thinking .45ACP, 230 gr. hardball.
Farther than my great grandparents. My great grandparents were 26. My grandparents were 23. My parents were 24. My wife and I 27. Yes same age. Weird. Women always around 6 months older.
Gypsies have been in Europe since the Middle Ages. If they were part of the modern flood of third-worlders you would have a point, but they aren’t. They were indeed a “Camp of the Saints” phenomenon, but from back in the days of absolute monarchs and Inquisitions.
They are, by now, part of the deep structure of European society and culture.
Its a very interesting to examine the influence gypsies have had on European arts and society. In the course of their hundreds of years as wanderers all over Europe they were the principal entertainers most of the Euro peasantry saw on a regular basis.
Consider this bit out of Bizet’s “Carmen”. The “Chanson Boheme” - its about gypsies - sometimes referred to as “bohemians” in France.

Brahms - “Hungarian Dances” - a riff on gypsy violins.

And then there is Spanish flamenco, and everything that came from that. Flamenco is a gypsy-moorish fusion style.
Their influence in popular music especially has been profound. There is probably more “gypsy” than African in everything we hear today.
Are they a good thing, on balance? I’d say no, but they are by now a very established, inextricable part of Euro culture.
Gypsy’s are not muslims....
