Pepe Lepew: Blissfully Ignorant
Reader Steve sent this message and story to our attention. His note and the story speak for themselves. Prepare yourself.
“This is IMPOSSIBLE. We all know that France is on the cutting edge of human/civil rights – next you’ll be telling me that Iran is run by a sadistic tyrant.”–Steve.
France rapped over human rights
France’s law enforcement and prison system have been sharply criticised by Europe’s human rights watchdog.
The Council of Europe found prisons were overcrowded and police operated with a sense of impunity, according to excerpts from a report due next week. ..prisons were overcrowded and dirty, jail cells in police stations were in a terrible state and the justice system was too slow…He [the inspector] said there was a weak reaction to anti-Semitic and racist crimes and called on France to fight against all forms of police brutality and violence.
No…No…it can’t be true! I’m still trying to double-check this, trying to see if I can get a second, third and fourth source for the information because it’s just so darn…unbelievable. After all, everyone knows France leads the world when it comes to tolerance and civil rights. Heck, we’ve been told by the French for years that they’re better than virtually everyone else in the Western world. I’ll keep researching and if any of you hear anything else about France not being paradise please let me know.
INTERESTING! “He who accuses all of mankind convicts only one.” –Edmund Burke
Note to self: Do not end up in a French prison.
Ummm..doesn’t one need to have something before one can lose it?
😐
I’m not sure if the French are any better than anybody else, but they do make d*mn good tires! I’m sorry, I love my Michelins.
