Hatchets and harpoons were thrown in a beach brawl that broke out after a tourist was seen taking pictures of women wearing burkinis in Corsica.
The fracas between a group described as North African ‘Muslim families’ and local youths broke out a day after a ban on the head-to-toe swimsuits was upheld by a judge in Cannes.
A tourist was seen taking pictures of women wearing the full-body swimwear on a creek near the village of Sisco on the French island.
When the bathers objected, a group of local teenagers are said to have come to the photographer’s defence.
Local reports said that the group of North African men armed themselves and took on the young Corsicans. One man was hit by a spear-like weapon and a pregnant women was taken to hospital with injuries.
...
The unrest in Corsica, which lasted several hours, escalated when the teenagers’ parents rushed from their village to the beach where two of them were then injured with harpoons. In retaliation, villagers then set fire to cars belonging to the bathers, it is claimed.

I think we’ve all done this a time or two ...
Back in the day they had public harpoonings to cut down on this kind of thing.
The Muslims are going to run into a buzz saw with the native Corsicans. They don’t take any crap.
Who needs the Olympics!
High Tide and the sharks are a pretty cheap cleanup crew. Just leave em below the high water mark......
Which isle? LOL!

LOL indeed!
Harpoons can be dangerous. Can even kill somebody in a back alley songwriting contest.

Yep. Native Corsicans have strong familial honor. Kinda like Sicily.

I don’t know about the Moby part, but many of them are definately d**ks.
When going to a SoCal beach, we worry about parking, traffic, sunburns, and jelly fish. Being harpooned is not really high up on the list of concerns.
From hell’s heart I stab at thee; for hate’s sake I spit my last breath at thee..!!!!
