Again, was a 10 year old raped by an Iraqi immigrant in a public swimming pool in Vienna recently?
Single tragedies add up. If they weren't a problem, then why the beefing up of the border and immigration laws? You're contradicting yourself there.

To "Hillary it" apparently means to avoid rushing to black and white judgments with little information or context.

A 10-year-old boy was raped by an Iraqi at a public swimming pool in Meidling, a suburb of Vienna, on December 2, 2015.

Breitbart.com was all over this two months after the fact, as was the UK's Daily Mail.

The Breitbart article is followed by long commentaries, including Europeans claiming all the rapes in their countries are by non-white immigrants.

By Feb 9, 2016, the Frankfurter Allgemeine Newspaper ran an article on how, despite the fact the incident was reported in Austrian papers at the time,  in many internet forums it was being bandied about that the the incident had only recently (Feb 2016) come to light, therefore suggesting a conspiracy among police and media to suppress news about immigrant crimes. This is coupled with another apparent "crime"--a 26-year-old Syrian man who is married to a 13-year-old Syrian girl was sleeping with her in a refugee camp, and was arrested for "rape."  The point of the article is that since the New Year's incidents in Cologne, both in Germany and Austria there has has been a heightened tendency to report or claim or otherwise discuss refugee-related crimes in the public sphere.

So now I am curious. How did you hear about this single rape which occurred 10 months ago in Austria , Mike? What is it's import for you?

Single tragedies are not usually the basis of policy decisions. When they are, it is usually a sign of panic and/or scapegoating
