French woman pleads for help:
"I am 26 years old, blonde, with light eyes, and I have always lived in the 6th arrondissement of Lyon, which is thought of as the poshest area in Lyon, and my daily life has become unbearable. I write this because, ten years ago, I could go out with my friends in the evening, at any hour, without being bothered, insulted, followed, or stabbed.
I mention stabbing because, three years ago, my boyfriend, along with two of his friends, on their way home, were approached by a group of men. They surrounded them, stole one of their cell phones. They tried to fight back, and my boyfriend, in spite of being a strong rugbyman, got stabbed, in the arm--while protecting his neck, which was the target. Someone tried to cut his throat.
As for myself, on a regular basis, men follow me, insult me because I refuse to talk back or because I say I have a boyfriend. One day, one spit on me. More and more, I am whistled at like a dog, or "ksksks"'d like I am a cat. Acts of this nature have happened to me perhaps thirty times in the past year.
Six months ago, we adopted a puppy. One evening, my boyfriend went out to walk him at 9pm, and three men tried to steal the puppy. Since then, we only go out in the evening as a couple, and I always carry pepper spray in my purse.
In our neighborhood, just in our block, there are three drug dealing spots, which work constantly. Day and night. With everything that entails: watchmen loitering outside our house, milling about, shouting, getting high and bothering people, especially women.
Every single one of the actions I mentioned (and they are only a part of what we have gone through) is the fact of men of sub-Saharan African or North African origin. A white man has never behaved towards me the way they have.
Is it racist to call out what my daily life has become as a woman, because of immigration? Is my reality, my daily life, racist? Am I not as legitimate as any other person to call out traumatising acts of violence, just because they are done by foreigners or immigrants?
To be clear, I am not talking about men in general, but specifically men, sometimes underage, who are of immigrant background.
Now, and for about four years, the way I live my life has had to change to live with this constant insecurity. Now I live with a pepper spray outside my front door, a taser, and a false pistol, after an attempted break-in. We have had an extra lock added to our door. We have a security camera in our apartment. In my purse, I carry a second pepper spray, as well as brass knuckles on my keychain. I never walk into a building without checking both sides of the street, in case a man is following me. I never make eye contact with you-know-who. I constantly cross the street. I no longer leave my home on my own after 9pm. I no longer use public transport for obvious reasons. I am afraid when I am alone at home. I am afraid when outside. Now, I am always afraid.
I do not want this future for my children who, fortunately, are not yet here. I do not understand people who do not see that France is turning into a cradle of insecurity because of immigrant men. Insecurity to women, but to men as well.
Therefore, for your future, and those of your children or your children-to-be: cast the right vote.” Quote Damien Rieu @DamienRieu · Jul 1 Témoignage qu’elle m’a demandé de vous partager. Les Français sont persécutés dans leur propre pays et vivent en réfugiés de l’intérieur. Et vous vous étonnez de ce qu’ils votent ?
He was not wrong.
When we were in Italy I was harassed only once; the man was not a native Italian. He kept following me, invading my personal space, yammering at me, and getting upset that I was shaking my head no and moving away.
He didn’t notice my big burly husband standing off in the distance.
My husband saw what was happening, barged over, and started sharply barking something in Italian. “Italiano?” The man gulped, quickly backing away.
Apparently, these “guests” target travelers thinking they can get away with bad behavior because most people won’t have the time and resources to travel back to testify at trial. If you live there, it’s another story.
What kind of “men” is she referring to? I have little doubt that most are from Africa or the middle east.
Oops, I didn’t read far enough.
There are very good reasons the Founders denied the vote to women.

As I repeatedly noted, and others as well, the 19th amendment wasn’t a good idea.
Women have a lot of wonderful qualities. Being leaders or selecting leaders are not two of them.
“LIberals do not understand consequences.”
To liberals cause and effect is a foreign concept.
They are incapable of connecting dots.
Great posters!
All great.
“They’re still doing the Olympics?
That’s cute”
Yep, and you can look forward to break dancing, skateboarding, and climbing events added to the schedule. I doubt I will watch even an hour of it. In the 70’s and 80’s I could hardly wait until the next Olympics, Summer and the Winter games.
How frightening! LORD have mercy and protect her!
“God bless her. Elect Le Pen and deport the uncivilized animals.”
Fine now, but did her and her kind have to put the ENTIRE NATION though their learning curve? If she had half a brain, she would have been voting for Le Pen, or equivalent people, DECADES ago.
Actually ANY brand of lead spray would work...
I am very satisfied with Ruger, and have also had good results with S&W.
Cultural enrichment.
And in talking to such, they are completely incapable of grasping the consequences
illegal welcome, this is what the puppets did to you
OUTSTANDING posts.

Testimony that she asked me to share with you. The French are persecuted in their own country and live as internal refugees. And are you surprised at what they vote for?
