(Translated) It is what a survey for West France reveals, carried out a few days after the violences made in the Nice-Lyon train during the night of the Sylvestre Saint. A feeling of insecurity more marked in Island-of-France, where million people borrows the suburban trains regularly.

Carried out January the 5 and 6, after the violences made by a group of young people in the Nice-Lyon train the morning of January 1, a Ifop survey for West France reveals the feeling of concern of many French in the trains.

Close to one probed on three (32%) often smells itself or sometimes in insecurity when it takes the train, this study reveals. They are 8% to feel "often" this feeling of insecurity, and 24% to test it "from time to time", detail this survey.

Most anxious: women and seniors

In Island-of-France, where million commuters takes the train regularly, they are 38% to often feel or sometimes insecurity, whereas they are only 30% in the rural communes. On the whole, the women are more numerous (39%) that the men (24%), just like old people of more than 35 years (33%) compared to their juniors (30%).

63% of probed use the train, and only 30% are favorable to the suppression of the first class. The survey was carried out near 1.010 people according to the method of the quotas, but the questions about the insecurity were put only to the 63% probed having stated to use the train.

"Close to one probed on three (32%) often smells itself"

Seeing the words "probed" and "smells" in the same sentence is never a good thing.

1 in 3 afraid to take the train, because 3 in 3 are afraid to defend the train.

The train is evidently owned and operated by the Maginot Line.

So forty muslim disaffected youth terrorized 600 passengers by robbing, beating, and sexually assaulting them, and only three of them have been arrested. This is insane.

What's weird is there is not that much on the news about the attack, only the vow of Chirac to increase security.

The French need to hire some CTA transit cops. Those guys take no crap from anybody.

Out of the 3 of 3, you have to figure at least one, if not one and one half, are followers of Moongod, or the actual perps. Naturally these, Salam Salakem wouldn't have any fear at all on the train.

In other words the stats could read, "Half of native French fear taking the train."

But very appropriate for an article about the French, don't you agree? ;-)

The french have truly evolved into a species that cannot defend itself and will be extinct.

The French need a spine. 20 little muzzies would not terrorize a train of 600 people in the United States. American 13 year old girls have more spine than that.

The French are a race among races;
They make love in the funniest places:
Any orifice handy
Is thought to be dandy,
Including the one in their faces.

Reminds me of a story I read here on FR. Seemed that a flasher thought he would get his perv jollies by flashing a bunch of Christian school girls. They were fresh out of class and still had that particular school girl uniform on. He flashed them, then as one, they chased him down and beat him like a thief in a third world country.

Weren't those Philadelphia Catholic school girls? I hear those are definitely a breed apart.

I wouldn't even call them "Frenchmen" any more. How about "Fwenches" (sound it out and see what it sounds like)
