The last paragraph is in French, like the rest of them.

Gives a whole new meaning to “stiff the waiter”.

Yes, but my point was not the chosen language, but the fact that the neighborhood is described as bad by a resident, who has had altercations.

Nope. This can’t be real.

France has “Gun Control”. It’s a crime-free Utopian paradise.

Must be agitprop from “far-right” “anti-immigrant” “anti-diversity” “ultra-nationalist” (did I leave any out???) groups.

I’ve seen the area referred to both as a no-go zone and a banlieu.

If that’s true, it might explain why authorities are pushing the bad service story

This type of crime happens here too.

Agreed. Except we call it, "Waffle House".

Noisy-le-Grand?

Is that like the Big Bang?

“Very cosmopolitan” must be a synonym for “vibrant.”

And I suppose you are the PC Police for Free Republic? Perhaps you need to update your DU membership.

I’m just pointing out a demographic fact. Let people draw their own conclusions. It’s also a fact that the Paris suburbs tend to be where most of the crime happens — not all of them, but certainly some of them.

Translated:

“Other residents, however, point the mood of the neighborhood: “it’s full of delinquency here,” said Jeremy, 40, referring to drug trafficking. “There are often alcoholic people,” said 40-year-old Aboubacar, claiming he had already been involved in arguments.”

The perp is likely a Vibrant, IMO.

It’s August. Half of France is on ‘les vacances’ in August (the other half takes off July). Of course the service will be slow.

Well, if the sandwich had carbs the waiter was doing the shooter a favor. Too bad the shooter didn’t understand that.

Focused intense pressure on a major artery can shut down the flow. Enough applied pressure to actually do the job through intervening bodily tissues will hurt like hell. Will need help to hold a semi-conscious person in place for this to work. Also, helps to have a rounded object smaller than a fist, larger than a kubotan, to focus the applied force.

Well, they cannot be fired and tips are automatically added to the bill, so what is a guy supposed to do?
