French police have detained 12 suspects after 145 people reported being pricked with syringes during the country's annual street music festival, officials said Sunday.
Millions of people took to the streets across France on Saturday evening for the Fete de la Musique, with authorities reporting "unprecedented crowds" in Paris.
Before the party, posts on social media had called for women to be targeted during the festivities.
The interior ministry said 145 victims across the country had reported being stabbed with needles. Paris police reported 13 cases in the capital.

This is easily my greatest fear and it came true on a mass scale

Getting injected with dirty misc needles all because you’re a woman, who knows what’s in them

What the f***

ppl losin their goddam minds and i put a large amount of the blame on how unregulated tech is just f***ing with ppls minds

we used to have monopoly laws that meant something

I think the issue is social media/news media sensationalizing negativity

Its so much beauty in the world but if u online/watching cnn all day youll never realize it

Not to mention systemic economic inequality, people gotta fight just to survive, not everyone built for that

Extremely bleak

what was in the needles???

Potentially Date tape d**** according to the article

How tf is that even possible

I actually think this would give freaks ideas. Happened in the UK too

could’ve been coordinated

my theory is that it's all with the purpose of ultimately pushing ID verification on the internet itself, based on your own user
(see how bad the people on the internet are? let's end anonymity by implementing a secure user-based system tied to your gov ID)

but maybe it's not that deep

“Officials did not say if these were cases of so-called needle spiking with date-rape d**** such as Rohypnol or GHB, used by attackers to render victims confused or unconscious and vulnerable to sexual assault. There was a spate of such attacks in the U.K. and a number of other European nations about three years ago.
"Some victims were taken to hospital for toxicological tests," the French interior ministry said.”

It’s unclear now, we’ll probably get an answer later. Hopefully these women can live normally after this

Idk, lots of “good people” would object to that, including myself who doesn’t spread hate or organise or participate in such events. Privacy is important, and companies, governments holding your information online aren’t in your best interest. That’s practically what they do now in some southern states

Cheers for the clarity I misread that

Saw someone say this will inevitably drive people outside so idk there’s hope to that

Whether outside is offline or revolution we’ll see

What the actual f*** man

wtf

the big picture is everything when it comes to this topic

in the long term this information can be used by future regimes to destroy any dissidents towards a system that is intrinsically flawed, unfair, possibly bigoted and racist. its a modern version of what happened in maoist china

i agree with u completely btw. i think ufo is saying the same thing youre saying

edit; i should add that the desires of the people are irrelevant at this point. democracy doesnt exist in the west anymore

This event sucks anyway and this only solidifies it

F*** losers.

this story comes out every year and I believe it about as much as the white vans driving around to kidnap people and steal their organs

same moral panic every time

same French minister that blames d*** trafficking on Iran and every computer bug on Russia. he's a retard

is there an article of this happening last year or the year before? im genuine
