This doesn't speak against the existence of a rape culture; it speaks for the existence of a broad undercurrent in social justice activist thought and practice that sees public shaming as a primary vehicle of effecting change and feels vindication through the 'correction' of individual instances as a buildup to institutional change. The Internet enables this, as well as a more general 'outrage first, questions later' attitude.


By the by, if whatever happened over New Years was constituted and organized by long-standing Muslim residents and citizens, or even refugees from North Africa (as opposed to the recent influx), then all the more reason to do well by the Asian Muslims and Syrians who are freshly arrived. If they understand it as "Europeans are our countrymen", then they are less likely, even where remaining poor and marginalized, to fall under the influence of troublemakers, criminals, and fifth columns.
