The safe shorts are available as running pants or hotpants. "Starting off, we only produced a small series, but it was sold out really quickly", tells us the entrepreneur from Oberhausen. The demand – 80% of it in Germany/from Germany (the article says, mostly German women buy it) – is high.
The shorts feature a padded crotch (to reduce groping), a locked-down waist draw-string, cut- and tear-resistant fabric, and a 130 dB alarm.

[Update: Mea culpa! A comment to the original story provided evidence that the source of this story is less than entirely reputable. The above link cites, as its source, Bild. My German is rusty, but it appeared that the Voice Of Europe story is a nearly-literal translation of the story appearing in Bild... So, all is good, right? Umm, nope. Though Bild is extremely popular, Wikipedia notes: "It is the best-selling non-Asian newspaper and has the eighth-largest circulation worldwide." (No wonder I recognized the title of the publication!) Reading further, however, reveals: "...Bild has been described as 'notorious for its mix of gossip, inflammatory language, and sensationalism' and as having a huge influence on German politicians. Its nearest English-language stylistic and journalistic equivalent is often considered to be the British national newspaper The Sun, the second highest selling European tabloid newspaper, with which it shares a degree of rivalry."
Ugh. I apologize for letting a story such as this make it to the front page. There's too much discussion on this story to remove it at this point, so I would just ask that those posting comments please try to avoid inflammatory, bigoted, and/or racist remarks and, instead, focus on the shorts' construction and functionality. --martyb]

If you pick any country with moslems you will see their behaviour in direct proportion to their presence. Any news against Merkel's agenda is hardly ever syndicated and stays only in local papers where it vanished from the front page in hours. Try poking round a little if you are serious and not just trolling.

That's just one city. Pick one. Then pick a day. Though sometimes they do sit on news and then release it many days later.
Here's another, also partial list:

The jargon varies from country to country. "asian man" in the UK "youths" in France "gangs" in Sweden refer to the same problem: islam
If Sweden's not your thing, look at France, Austria, Germany, the UK, or anywhere else.

No demographic is crime-free.
The relevant question is whether they're committing more crimes than the locals, and you've shown me nothing that indicates the affirmative.
I share your distaste for this silly terminology. It's used by deluded individuals who think it's somehow more polite to use a word that most people will interpret to mean 'oriental', than to just say 'ethnically middle eastern'.

no, they're not trying to be polite. are you really that brainwashed? they are purposely covering up the truth for their political agenda(or what they think their political agenda is). this is typical NWO strategy. cause trouble to gain control.

And you won't get it packaged for you in a single article unless you go to reprehensible far right sites, none of which I'm willing to link to. The main reason for the lack of summary articles is that many countries have made it illegal to report in articles the ethnic background of those charged with crimes. Some had waves of daytime gang rapes already years ago perpetrated exclusively by islam. Laws were quickly passed and the news stopped saying who were the attackers. The results took the immediate pressure off the state, but kicked the can further down the road and now things are truly out of control in those places.
*You* can get the information yourself by waiting for the police reports to be published, in some countries they are automatically public. Then *you* must connect the dots on your own between the original article, the police report and a follow up article. It's too much work for most private individuals and most journalists would be fired by their editors for breaching political correctness or similar ideological limits. So for most there is no summary on a silver plate.
Other times you can get a hint based on neighborhoods which are exclusively one group or another. Others you just have to go with common sense:
