Breitbart is a terrible source, but yeah, it happened.

Googled it and his was the only site to make a big deal. If it really happened like that all of the major outlets would have been all over it.

Hyperbole meter alert buzzing like crazy.

Dude, I live in Germany.
All the mainstream media here are in a frenzy, Merkel made an appearance concerning that matter yesterday.

Breitbart seems to be slightly tweaking the numbers though.
They casually speak of thousands and as if everyone was involved.
The whole group was about 1000 people and sub-groups from there did the assaults. But since there were dozens of attacks, it seems that a very large percentage was involved.

What exactly was going on that there were so many middle easterners just gathered in one place?

Still calling a bit of BS. Sounds more like a huge drunk crowd getting ridiculously out of hand, and less about some sort of middle eastern immigrant "event".

Cologne sex attacks: Merkel disgust at New Year gang assaults - BBC News

Again, it certainly wasn't big enough to gain a US audience. And there's millions here who would feed on this **** to death if it were truly legit as a refugee driven event.

The BBC is a cunt of a source. Biased beyond belief.

They still have no idea or aren't telling yet.
Might have been a group of people celebrating new year's eve and then it escalated, might have been a planned criminal flashmob, might have been a mixture of both.

Even Breitbart took half the article before they so much as mentioned that the people involved were of middle eastern decent. Maybe nobody wants to step on that landmine until they know what the story is.
