@Strandjunker is there a link to any articles? I see a lot of what Philly (Inquirer) is is going through but less about the other host cities.

Women especially should be wary of traveling here to the deep-surveillance rape nation of dumb white holy alpha boys. These creeps will stalk strangers around the planet by the dozens now, you can bet.
