Four U.S. College Students Attacked With Acid While Traveling in Southern France

Four American women traveling in southern France were attacked with acid Sunday at a train station in Marseilles, a police spokeswoman said.

All four of the women were taken to a hospital for burn treatment, though two were mostly uninjured, according to the New York Times. One of the women had been hit in the eye with the substance and could not see well, TV station France 3 reported.

All four of the Americans were university students in their early 20s studying abroad.

A statement from Boston College identified them as Courtney Siverling, Charlotte Kaufman and Michelle Krug — students in the school’s Paris program — and Kesley Korsten, who studies at the Copenhagen Business School in Denmark.

“It appears that the students are fine, considering the circumstances, though they may require additional treatment for burns,” Nick Gozik, who directs school’s international programs, said in the press release.

All four women were in their third year of studies, the university said.

All cultures are equal.....

Islam needs to be eradicated from the face of the earth, and anyone who throws acid on anyone else needs to be given a dose of what they handed out.

Bonjour France.
Now do you see why most of us want to start vetting immigrants from that part of the world?

They were in a student program in Paris.

What the hell were they doing going to Marseille - a muslim city?

Clearly, they’re not smart enough to be in college.

Loss of tourism money might be the thing that causes Europe to push back. Might.

Becoming painfully obvious that a Christian society is light years ahead of other “cultures”.

Also obvious that this Multicultural move by our politicians is to erase our culture so that they can have their New World Order utopian dream and that it actually is a nightmare.

That’s racist.

First question from French police: “How were you dressed?”

There’s 1.8 billion Muslims in the world and most of these European countries have a population that averages in the tens of millions, Germany around 80 million, France 66 million, Belgium 11 million. The rape capital of the world Sweden has a ridiculously small 9 million and the Swiss even lower at 8 million. How difficult do these countries think it’s going to be for Muslims to eventually take them over? All that’s required is their continued support of open borders and time and there will be no turning back.

I fear it is too late. The massive cover up of young British girls from working class backgrounds being forced into sexual slavery with massive coverups from the police and court system suggests that it is all over for the U.K.

Acid throwers come from a culture that is evolving the wrong direction and a herd of animals that need to be culled.

The fact that all the reports seem to studiously avoid mentioning the name, religion, ethnicity or immigration status of the perpetrator, fits a pattern.

no, they are not ‘fine’ Gozik. No one who has acidic burns on their face or eyes, is ‘fine’.

Probably Muhammad, Omar, Abdul, Ahmed, Ishmael, or some other Amish name.
