Austrian Police Charge Woman For Hitting Migrant Who Molested Her

Jan 6, 2019 10:27 am By Vijeta Uniyal

Austrian police have changed a young woman with inflicting bodily harm for defending herself against a sexual molester, local newspapers report. The incident took place during the New Year’s Eve celebrations in Vienna’s landmark City Hall square, where a 21-year-old Swiss woman pushed back an Afghan migrant who tried to assault her.

The woman also filed charges of sexual harassment against the man. Several eye witnesses corroborated the women’s testimony. The Afghan apparently harassed other women at the venue as well, media reports say.

Three years ago, the western German city of Cologne witnessed mass sexual assaults on the New Year’s Eve as thousands of migrant men raped, assaulted, and robbed more than 1200 women. So far, only a handful of these perpetrators have been brought to justice.

The Swiss woman could face fines under the country’s law, Vienna-based tabloid Blick reported citing an Austrian legal expert.

German newspaper Die Welt covered the incident on Friday:

In Vienna, a young woman was inappropriately touched by a man at the City Hall square (Rathausplatz). The 21-year-old woman, a Swiss tourist, was on her way to the big New Year’s Eve party in the capital with her three female friends, the Austrian media reports.

Around 1.30 hours, a man touched the young women from behind. In almost a reflex, the women turned around and hit the man. The man suffered a nasal bone fracture. He turned to the security personnel, was taken to a hospital, and was reported to the police by the woman for sexual molestation.

The 20-year-old Afghan man denies any wrong doing. However, “the witnesses said that the Afghan man had groped several women,” the Police  spokesman Harald Sörös said. The woman, too, faced consequences for the incident: She was charged by the police with bodily harm and might have face a trial. [Translation by the author]

Despite massive police deployment, the city of Cologne again witnessed chaotic scenes this News Year’s Eve. German newspapers reported pitched street fights between ‘young men’ and Cologne police. Police officers and first responders were attacked in several German cities on the New Year’s Eve.

Growing incidents of migrant crime in Europe have eroded public confidence in the police and justice system. The number of weapons permits in Germany has skyrocketed since Chancellor Merkel opened the country’s borders to immigrants in the spring of 2015. According to official figures released in December, German authorities issued 600,000 licenses for non-lethal weapons in past four years, an increase of 130 percent.

    The insane now stand at the gates of the asylum that guards the sane…
    It’s a bleak situation.
    Inverse reality.
    And very, very disturbing.

    HOW CAN IT BE THAT THIS YOUNG SWISS CITIZEN CAN BE CHARGED FOR DEFENDING HERSELF AGAINST A MOLESTER. WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO THE WEST ?!!!

    This is very disturbing to put it mildly…

    “Austrian police have changed a young woman with inflicting bodily harm for defending herself against a sexual molester, local newspapers report. ”

    Doncha just love Google Translate?

    Laut Polizei dürfte ihn das Belästigungsopfer reflexartig beim Umdrehen geschlagen haben.

    “According to police, the harassment victim should have beaten him reflexively when turning around.”

      So much for women’s self-defense classes !!! This is completely ABSURD !!!

      The case should be dismissed by the judge !!! If the Austrians continue like this, ordinary Austrians will have to resort to vigilantism.

          They weren’t on a bus. Read the article.

          How many women did you grope on the bus? This guy groped multiple women.

          If the woman beat you up for groping her, would you file assault charges?

          If you think it is so bad to be hit by a woman, you should be hit by a man.

          If a baby slaps you while you are coddling it, are you going to report the baby to the police?

          Is “Brian hoff”–really, “DefenderofIslam”–also claiming that that the mass molestations and rapes of Infidel women at the New Year were all “mistakes”. as well? What about his coreligionists in the Islamic State kidnapping women and selling them as sex slaves? Were those all “mistakes” as well?

          What about the Qur’anic injunctions to rape Infidels and take sex slaves? More “mistakes”?

      One defender of the moslem wrote the perp ““torch” (sic) her by mistake”. The thought occurred to me that she reflexively should have torched him – just like bacon or a pork chop on a stick. Several problems would have been resolved simultaneously and justice served — well-done, perhaps? Just think, it would give new meaning to “torch her” something moslems perpetrate daily against dhimmi by command of the false prophet and his little book of mao.

        Even the use of fists and fingers is not permitted. Maybe Merkel, May and Macron can just give all European women a required-wear T-shirt reading ” I am a woman. I am unarmed. I will be prosecuted for any self-defense. Please do not hurt me”.

    Many Germans who are annoyed with the countries absurd gun laws have opted for high-powered air guns with high-penetration rounds. This keeps them within the law. And no attacker will detect it is an air gun.

    Jan 6, 2019 at 1:26 pm

    I have taught thousands of women to defend themselves against such attacks. Some of those whom I have coached have had to defend themselves against much worse that groping and have left their attackers with more consequences than just a broken nose, without any charges being laid against them.

    Police in Europe and the UK have capitulated to the forces of political correctness and are no longer the protectors of the communities that pay their salaries. They are now the tools of left wing governments that will do anything, including destroying their own culture, to appease the hordes of migrants being allowed to replace their own population.

    One can only hope that the rise of nationalist populism will sweep across the west quickly and with the result that left wing governments are thrown out and replaced by ones that govern for the good of their country and its people.

      Following the link regarding “pitched street fights between ‘young men’ and Cologne police. Police officers and first responders were attacked in several German cities on the New Year’s Eve” you read a description of how two groups (would ethnicity be a factor?) had fought back and forth (reason?) and then police intervened (on any particular side?).
      This linked article seems quite deficient and thus makes you speculate if possibly groups of muslim men are attempting to assert continued barbarity in response to attempts to infringe upon their atrocities towards German women that notorious New Year’s Eve a few years ago. Maybe groups of German men are better prepared this year and thus the Police are showing their faces this time?

    The “man”…translate: the slimy moslim creature…”denies any wrong doing”
    *****************************************************
    Well, duh….of course he “denies any wrong doing.” He has been taught to believe that he has the *right* to touch any woman who is not covered head to toe…any time, any place and in any way, up to and including rape…if he wants to…and she can’t stop him. And it has been demonstrated to him…and to all of the others…that he is above the law in other countries that have taken in the clime in great numbers. He had to deny “wrong doing” when asked what he did to receive a nose-breaking blow by a young woman.

    Charging her is just so wrong. He should be charged, serve his time and then go back to afghanistan from whence he came.

    She should be given some kudos for reacting to what could have turned out much differently if she had not done as she did. There certainly should not be any charges for self-defense. This will only deter other young women from defending themselves against assault.

    • gravenimage says

      Exactly, Somehistory. Muslims don’t believe that there is anything wrong with molesting Infidel women.

  7. Jaladhi says

    Jan 6, 2019 at 1:46 pm

    Such behavior by the West only goes to show that they deserve what is coming to them!! Instead of charging the rapist, they are charging the victim for fighting back – what is this justice? I can’t believe what is happening in in the West. Frankly, this totaly disgusting!

    • Ezra says

      Jan 7, 2019 at 10:26 am

      Yes, kafirs, submit to your moslem masters. After all you are just dhimmi: your men have no stones and your women ripe for moslem plucking. UK and the West have allowed the asp into its its bosom and it’s far too long in the tooth now to reverse the decision without war.

    How absurd . What injustice ! How much more in the wrong can those police officers be, who are mind infected, the left wing madness and folly politically correctness ? Did the police expect this women who was sexually assaulted by that Muslim migrant to let that Muslim migrant creep get always in his violation of her ? That Muslim sex attacker is the one who should be arrested and charged and then jailed.

    Shame on those police officers who took part in arrested this young women and not that vile Muslim sex attacker. For she is the innocent person and by contrast he Muslim migrant is the guilty one , the criminal.

    As it is written in Bible “He who justifies the wicked ,and he who condemn the just . Both of them alike are an abomination to the Lord.” Proverbs 17:15. [N.K.J.V.]

  11. Arthur says

    Jan 6, 2019 at 5:05 pm

    How much longer till the story continues…

    “Police cited that if the Swiss tourist had been wearing a niqab and had been in the company of a male guardian, as suggested by the new integration law, the assault would not have taken place. Therefore, she will be punished with 6 months in jail, a fine, and is responsible for all medical expenses of the Afghan she attacked. Furthermore, the prosecutors offer to reduce the jail sentence to 6 months parole under the conditions that she travel with a male guardian at all times outside the home. This way a man can intervene if she becomes violent again before another Muslim is victimized.”

    Jan 6, 2019 at 5:30 pm

    You think it’s bad now? Soon – if it isn’t already – it will be a “hate crime”
    and an arrestable offence to even report what any Mohammedan savage
    has done, no matter how vicious the attack, murder or rape.
    Mohammedans are the symptom, not really the cause. They just do what
    they do best – the only thing they can do – but they are the attack dogs of
    the far-left.

    • Sun says

      Jan 6, 2019 at 10:31 pm

      Veru true – it will be a hate crime soon. This is a small excerpt from the UN Migration Compact:

      “Promote independent, objective and quality reporting of media outlets, including internet-based information, including by sensitizing and educating media professionals on migration-related issues and terminology, investing in ethical reporting standards and advertising, and stopping allocation of public funding or material support to media outlets that systematically promote intolerance, xenophobia, racism and other forms of discrimination towards migrants, in full respect for the freedom of the media.”

      • Paul says

        Jan 7, 2019 at 5:57 pm

        Yes,as soon as they use their favourite buzzwords “tolerance, xenophobia” etc.,
        you know exactly where this is headed and what their intentions are.
        They’re nice fluffy terms they’re using – for now. Cannot give the game away
        too early on.
        This is classic ‘progressivism’.

    It is abundantly clear. There is no minimum that I can do to defend myself from a Muslim attacker that will not get me charged and convicted. Therefore I shall inflict *as much bodily harm on my attacker as I possibly can* using everything at my disposal. As I’m going to pay anyway and I have only one chance to get what I’ll be paying for, the only time to make my punishment fair is while fighting off the attacker. The police will have to tear me off the bastard, when part of his body will come away between my teeth. No doubt the police will do just that, as they’re now duty-bound to protect Muslims no matter what they do.

    Merkel, tell your raping hordes, THIS ENDS HERE!!!

    Es ist völlig klar. Es gibt kein Minimum, das ich tun kann, um mich vor einem muslimischen Angreifer zu verteidigen, der mich nicht angeklagt und verurteilt laßt. Deshalb werde ich meinem Angreifer so viel körperlichen Schaden zufügen, wie ich kann, mit alles was mir zur Verfügung steht. Da ich sowieso bezahlen werde und ich nur eine Chance habe, das zu bekommen, wofür ich bezahle, ist die einzige Möglichkeit, meine Strafe fair zu gestalten, wenn ich den Angreifer abwehre. Die Polizei wird mich vom Schwein abreißen müssen, wenn sich ein Teil seines Körpers zwischen meinen Zähnen löst. Zweifellos wird die Polizei genau das tun, da sie jetzt verpflichtet ist, die Muslime zu schützen, egal was sie tun.

    Merkel, sag deinen vergewaltigenden Horden, DIESE ENDET HIER !!!

      You hate to concede any of our freedoms to barbarians but these women were wise to have gone out together in a tight, cohesive group. A woman alone is less likely to get physical for fear of bringing on worse treatment, but if she’s with a group (who will at least bear honest witness for her) then, like Anjuli, I relish the fact that she clobbered the desperate, insulting, lying clown. It would be nice if they could learn to expect such an explosive reception. Bravo! Encore!
