France: Almost 150 Women at Music Festivals Attacked; Many Injected With Unknown Substances

By Selwyn Duke

It just keeps on getting more and more bizarre, life in the modern, “diversified” West. In recent years we’ve heard about knife, acid, and vehicular attacks in Europe and sometimes the United States. Now comes news that at least 145 music festival attendees, almost exclusively female, have been assaulted with syringes across France. This all happened on the same day, too, in what’s being called a “coordinated” attack. What’s more, it’s reported that many of the girls and women were injected with unknown substances. Also generally remaining unknown, curiously, are the identities and backgrounds of the suspects.

Per Euronews:

French police have detained 12 suspects after nearly 150 people reported being assaulted with syringes across France during its annual “Fête de la Musique” summer festival.

The outdoor festival took place all over France last Saturday, with authorities reporting “unprecedented crowds” in Paris.

The Interior Ministry said that 145 people nationwide had reported being stabbed with needles, with Paris police reporting 13 cases in the capital. Upwards of a dozen women and underaged girls have been hospitalised.

“The ministry is taking this very seriously,” a spokeswoman from the Interior Ministry stated. “Some victims were taken to hospital for toxicological tests and the investigation is ongoing,” the ministry added.

Officials have yet to say if these were cases of needle spiking with date-rape drugs such as Rohypnol or GHB, but the drugs rendered victims confused and vulnerable to sexual assault.

As to the coordination, Fox News informs that French politician François Grosdidier, who is the mayor of Metz,

indicated that calls for syringe assaults have been circulating across social media, sparking fears of a coordinated attack.

French influencer Abrège Soeur shared on Instagram ahead of the festival that “calls are circulating on Snapchat to prick people with contaminated syringes.”

Whodunnit? It’s a Mystery, I Tell Ya’, a Mystery!

True to form, most “authorities” and establishment media are treating the suspects’ identities like national security secrets. What this means, for one thing, shocker of shockers, is that the perps aren’t cute little 13-year-old, indigenous European boys. (The mini-series Adolescence taught us how dangerous they are. But perhaps this French situation is, uh … an anomaly.) Commentator Andrea Widburg, however, has some ideas on this matter and a bit of information. To wit:

Before I even knew what kind of individuals perpetrated these needle attacks, I already knew — we probably all do — and it wasn’t the few white Frenchmen left but … Muslim migrants. While most of the creeps are still on the lam, a Bangladeshi suspect has been arrested as well as another man who shouted at his victim in Arabic, claiming to be a doctor.

They kept telling us that the waves of third world migrants they were bringing into the West would be tomorrow’s “doctors” and “engineers” so … well-played.

Some of the cities where needle attacks occurred at the highest rates were Chambéry, Metz, Paris, Montpellier, and Grenoble — and, since many of the women did not experience cognitive issues after being injected, the date-rape drug (GHB), which is typically used, was ruled out. What was in those needles? Semen? HIV?

(The last line contradicts Euronews’ reportage. So, yes, there are conflicting reports.)

The reality is that it could’ve been something innocuous, such as water. But the needles themselves assuredly weren’t sterile, and, regardless, such acts terrorize people. (And this is, of course, the goal of terrorism.) Just imagine having to think, “Will I now develop some problem or disease down the road?” Unknowns can be scary and reduce people to living with continual anxiety.

To Focus on Just the Needles Misses the Point

But the syringe attacks weren’t the only problems during the concerts. There also “were stabbings, ‘battles with police,’ sexual assault, gang activity, and around 50 cars … lit on fire,” Widburg further relates. She then presents the relevant tweet below.

Again, curiously, neither of the above videos show little Jamie causing mayhem. But, okay, Jamie is in Britain. And that brings us to a story out of the U.K. — and another problem his demographic isn’t responsible for.

She Was Spat at, But Won’t Spit Out the Whole Story

“Thousands of men are spitting on women runners,” wrote British journalist Alice Giddings last month — “it’s happened to me.” Yes, she reports that “men” spat at her. To this I replied on X:

I have a question: You say that “men” spat at you. What did these “men” look like?

I have a sneaking suspicion that there’s more to the story than is being mentioned.

Giddings did not respond. But the following X user did, and he was very blunt:

If it had been white men that spat at her, it would’ve said “white men”

Of course, the poster just states the obvious. Spitting at someone is a sign of anger or contempt. And who might be angry at these women, and why?

It’s well known that Muslim migrants despise Western women’s immodest dress norms. (And we could use a dose of modesty — without the dose of spittle.) There’s also this, from website OpIndia: In “Islam, spitting carries a special meaning, especially, to ward off the ‘evil spirit’ or ‘Satan’.”

Note, too, that women are seldom more scantily clad than when going for a run. So it’s easy seeing how jihadist-minded Muslims’ ire would be directed at them.

See No Evil, Hear No Evil, Speak No Evil

So why did Giddings refuse to identify the perps beyond their maleness? This is the reason:

“You must never [again] refer to Asian men.” And your “awareness of ethnic issues” needs to be raised. (Note: “Asian” is how Muslims are generally referenced in Britain.)

This was a warning issued to a U.K. official years ago. Her sin was blowing the whistle on Muslim rape gangs targeting native British girls.

You see, you can put an onus on men or youngsters. This is why Giddings wasn’t left to identify her assailant as merely a sentient biped. But discriminatory, identity-politics imperatives forbid specificity beyond the approved whipping boys.

And that’s what is prone to happen in the increasingly prone West, which bends the knee to the unassimilable and tolerates the intolerable.
