In reply to the discussion: Attack over women’s ‘shorts’ in southern France [View all]Dorian Gray
(13,736 posts)30. I'm anti burkini ban
and I think that if these attackers should be arrested for assault. And if they are immigrants, they should lose their residency over something like this.
It's terrible. Nobody should attack any woman for what she wears. It's horrible. This woman was riding a bike. Good Lord, let her ride in peace.

So your 'solution' is to insist that everyone behave nicely. Sorry, that's not going to happen.

If you would have read through the thread, you would have seen links from other sources.

No, I have the sense to verify the non-bullshit story with other sources.

Eh, just because I might not like a source doesn't fully discredit a story.

I had a bad experience clicking a link in a comment a few years back and have never done so since.
