I don’t get to Paris, France as often as I used to;^)
Sigh. Me either, buddy.
Even Nice is not so nice any more with all the muzzies making the place unsafe.
Perhaps they should import more of them to appease the ROP.
Perhaps the bright side is that this region could become the first part of France that will possibly begin taking matters into its own hands to end the problem.
The assailant, named as Moussa, was arrested
They should have shot him.
Toulon has been notoriously Le Pen, probably still today.
