France : Hundreds of Youts mug their way through a subway train
This appears to be legit, the scanned article is in Le Parisien's paying archive, and can be found through a search (only the intro and the writer's ID). What is incredible is this mass mugging is as disturbing and shocking as the Nice train attack on the New Year's eve... but instead of causing a similar stir... there's NOT a single word on television, radios, national newspapers, about it! The control of information by the french Establishment is not a myth.The headline reads: "A hundred vandals attack passengers". Apparently the incident happened several days ago but was NOT reported the papers, with the exception of Le Parisien. Vox Galliae reports: Overcrowded subway lines where assaults are ever increasing, passengers fleeing the subway in a state of total panic, and to top it all off, the police are forced to evacuate the station. On Tuesday evening around 9:00 P.M., hundreds of "youth" attacked the passengers of lines 4 and 12, between the Marcadet-Poissonniers and Château Rouge stations, stripping them of all their belongings: handbags, MP3 players, cell phones... From the scan, 300-400 Youths were coming back from a public Halloween party; they started by pelting a police car, then entered the subway station; mass muggings of passengers involving at least 100 hoodlums started as soon as the train departed; police intervened by stopping the train, but the Youths had thrown down stolen objects and a few weapons (like an hammer) and passengers were too intimated to identify the muggers, still present with them. Train restarted, but attacks resumed immediatly. Police had to halt the train again, shutdown the subway station and evacuate the public, escorting the Youths on foot away from the scene. 12 arrests were made when searches found stolen objects. This terrifying information was made public only by Le Parisien. (local parisian newspaper, lot of local infos on crime and all, not much spin) An incredible media black-out... Click the link for the Vox Galliae article, then click the image for an enlargement. Look closely and you'll see that the Paris metro today is identical to an inner-city American public transport. I have not yet located the actual article. Posted by: anonymous5089 2006-11-06 |
