The suspect is <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bild.de\/regional\/leipzig\/kindesmissbrauch\/dieser-mann-missbrauchte-ein-maedchen-auf-dem-schulweg-48500546.bild.html\" target=\"_blank\">described<\/a> as being in his mid-thirties with short brown hair and a stubble beard.<\/p>\n<p>Leipzig police have explicitly refused to say whether the suspect is a migrant, but have implicitly admitted that he is. They published a facial composite of the suspect with the politically correct warning:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cThis image is to be published only in print media in the greater Leipzig area. Publishing this image on the internet, including on social media such as Facebook, is not covered by the court\u2019s manhunt order (<em>Beschluss zur \u00d6ffentlichkeitsfahndung<\/em>) and is therefore prohibited.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The effort to censor information about the rape, in which German officials show themselves to be more concerned about protecting the identity of the rapist than the welfare of the victim or other girls he might attack, is almost unprecedented in Germany.<\/p>\n<p>To its credit, the Berlin-based newspaper, <em>Bild<\/em>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bild.de\/regional\/leipzig\/kindesmissbrauch\/dieser-mann-missbrauchte-ein-maedchen-auf-dem-schulweg-48500546.bild.html\" target=\"_blank\">responded<\/a>: \u201cBILD is ignoring this request. We want to ensure that the suspect is arrested as quickly as possible.\u201d Indeed, <em>Bild<\/em> has been one of the only newspapers in Germany even to publish not only the image but also report the story of this rape.<\/p>\n<p>Violent crime \u2014 including rapes, sexual and physical assaults, stabbings, home invasions, robberies, burglaries and drug trafficking \u2014 has skyrocketed in Germany since Chancellor Angela Merkel welcomed into the country more than one million mostly male migrants from Africa, Asia and the Middle East. Few, if any, of the migrants were vetted before being allowed to enter Germany.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gatestoneinstitute.org\/9229\/germany-lawlessness\" target=\"_blank\">Continue Reading Here<\/a>\u00bb<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Police in many parts of Germany say they are stretched to the limit and unable to maintain law and order amid a spike in crimes committed by migrants.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[100,202],"tags":[179,21,181,195],"class_list":["post-6652","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-european-union","category-migration-crisis","tag-germany","tag-immigration","tag-islam-in-europe","tag-migration-crisis"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
