Evidently they're tough enough because the French gendarmes are reported to be loathe to tackle them.

Who knows what their problem is. I don't know why they don't defend their nation. It's rather sick, actually. I know quite a few French, most of them great people, and after talking to them, it would appear as if the situation is hopeless. They either want to stay in the United States and leave France altogether or stay in France and live with the problem, not wanting to stir the pot.
