Music festival organizers may have the best intentions, but when thousands of strangers show up to party, how they act is largely out of their control.
Actually Muslims do go to the Music festivals in Europe. Europe has a much higher Muslim demographic and arrival of recent migrants than Canada though.
There has also been a much higher incidence of mob sex assaults at them. And actually if it were possible to "ban Muslims" as Andy suggest, but do it in Europe it would stop 100% of the Taharrush Gamea style muslim gang assaults which can be estimated to have occurred in Europe in at least the thousands. And that's just last year.
Now what Andy and the CBC would like to do is set up what Devon Tracey calls a 'Two wrongs make a who cares.'
The CBC has gathered a bunch of anecdotal and incidental information which does not equate to the European Muslim group assaults and is often not even what the CBC writer is insinuating as a Music festival assault. Then without him actually saying it we are meant to inference the European assaults and think "Oh same thing then. No big deal."
For example he groups two cases from Europe that actually were Muslim assaults without him pointing the fact out. There's a suggestion of ":nudge, nudge: See...same thing". One of those cases was the mass murder at Bataclan in Paris.
Andy heard the suggestion 'no big deal, sex assaults happen at all music festivals.' It's in his first post.
In the same paragraph CBC guy mentions the Christina Grimmie case which was a YouTube stalker murder.
Remember the title here? "Music festivals marred by sexual assaults and violence/" Disconnect much, CBC? And let's guess, why. Two wrongs makes a who cares, right?
The CBC also does that thing they like do where they post a study that does not actually say what they're hoping to infer, but they're relying on you not to click to see it. For example, this one:
It does not really deal with Music festivals. It deals with mass gatherings in general and has a twenty hour window from the events. The assault did not necessarily happen at the event, and events can be as varied as " New Year's Eve, Canada Day, university frosh week (celebrating the start of the university academic year) and Halloween mass gatherings. The size of the gathering does not matter."
The report peels 53 cases from a yearly total of 204 sexual assaults in Ottawa. The 53 are cases that may have occurred on anything they're calling a "mass gathering" involving anything from University frosh week to Halloween, and may have occurred in the victim's or assailant's home or an automobile, and can include people known to the victim.
This happened during a year in a population of about a million. That's about the same population as Cologne Germany.
About 2,0000 women were assaulted at a New Year's celebration in Cologne. That's in a single night and almost all if not all the complaints where the perps could be identified involved groups of young Muslim men.

Same thing, so who cares, right CBC? Right Andy?
Except it's not.
