Even here in the South of Germany where the gutter press waits with baited breath for the next refugee "incident" to spread all over the interweb is driving them to boredom. You see them walking around, the press that is. See also a few fields with tents, never a peep of disturbance from the refugees arriving. With winter on it's way I'd not be wanting to live in the field, but I guess it beats dodging bullets.

I live in Sweden, listen to the local and national news daily and none of this is mentioned at all. I've not heard of anyone worrying about such things and so if it does occur it is so small fry in the grand scheme of things it's not worth mentioning. It's kind of like Swedish news reporting on each and every street fight on a Friday / Saturday night in anyone of the tuliphole council estates in the U.K. while claiming the U.K. Is in the process of a coup.
Sweden is so safe compared to the uk it's almost a joke. I regularly forget to lock the car door or house and so do most of the neighbours, there is no theft or crime where we live. I would allow my 11 yr old daughter walk home from a friends late on a Saturday night through the high street and not fear in anyway that something bad would happen to her. I haven't yet seen a street fight or bar brawl ever in the 4 years of living here and I go out regularly. I can't really think of a better definition of safe.
This big issue here in Copenhagen is bike theft, though there are more bikes than people here it seems Romanians scoop them up by the lorry load and send them home for profit.....Comment

Also, if you do end up on the wrong side of Hauptbahnhof station, you do see quite a few refugees (mostly women) begging.
I assume they are refugees since they kept saying "from Syria"Comment

Originally posted by jbond007 View PostCouldn't it also be attributed to increased presence of police since the previous incident ? Also, with Oktoberfest ongoing more visible presence of police and maybe intelligence sources working in the background. Haven't there been a few arrests based on intelligence ?

I don't see any police at the nearby fields. Sure there's an increased presence at Oktoberfest, but my guess is we'll see more arrests from the usual Aussie crowd than others."Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience". Mark TwainComment
