Paris metro drivers say some stations not safe enough, refuse to stop

Some metro stops in Paris are now so rife with violence and drugs that subway trains cannot be safely off-loaded

(Breitbart) – Drivers working for the Régie Autonome des Transports Parisiens (RATP), Paris’s publicly-owned transport company, say that several stations to the north of Paris have become rife with drug use and criminality and present a danger to passengers, French broadcaster BFMTV reports.

According to the RATP union UNSA, there are drug addicts and dealers seen daily on lines 4 and 12 at stations like Marcadet Poissonnier and Porte de la Chapelle with the later station also being a well-known place for migrants to camp out.

The union also says that the safety of the RATP employees is impacted in troubled areas as the number of violent incidents toward the employees has increased dramatically in recent months.

The RATP has also commented on the conditions saying that they are working with local police to try and clean up some of the more troubled stations, but UNSA and the Federation of Transport and Public Service Users, an advocacy group for transit users, say the measures are not enough.

Last week, both organisations sent letters to Interior Minister Gerald Collomb, Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo, and president of the Ile-de-France regional council Valérie Pécresse requesting “urgent and serious measures be rapidly implemented”.

The move comes only months after French courier service Chronopost announced that they would not be delivering packages in certain Parisian neighbourhoods due to danger to their staff.

While the migrant-populated suburbs of northern Paris have long been considered no-go zones, the violence and crime of the suburbs have started to spread into the northern part of central Paris in recent years.

In his recent book, No Go Zones: How Sharia Law Is Coming to a Neighborhood Near You, Breitbart London editor in chief Raheem Kassam noted last February that bus drivers were avoiding certain stops in the suburb of Aulnay-sous-Bois after the area was plagued by riots.

Kassam attempted to visit the area of the rioting, which started after a man named Theo claimed that police had brutally inserted a baton into his rectum, but was told by the bus driver that the bus would not be stopping in the area.

Women in the north of the city have described being constantly harassed by men who often refuse to allow them into certain cafes.

Last year a “no-go zone” app was released for mobile phones which allowed users to look at sections of Paris and report crimes so that other users can avoid areas with a high number of reports.

The Law of Unintended Consequences reaches far and wide. How could the French of yesteryear, invading and “owning’ Morocco and other Arabic countries, have ever foreseen this? Unable to realise that something called “Liberal Left” with it’s impractical, pie in the sky ideology of kumbaya and love for all combined with the huge damage France had done to native peoples of North Africa and the pain she had inflicted, would combine to let loose a torrent of retributive misery across France. Will the face, the heart and soul, the identity that was France, be changed forever I wonder? Wouldn’t be… Read more »

And England, Sweden, Norway, Germany, and all of the other nations who allow themselves to be sucked into the abyss.

Isabella seems to have the rather naive belief that this mass destabilization of Christian society is an unintended consequence, rather than a deliberate act. Familiarity with the Kalergi and Yinon plans reveals a different agenda altogether. Once once-Christian societies are rendered so hopelessly divided and riven by ethno-religious internecine strife as to make them ungovernable, the NWO agenda may be advanced by several notches. This extremely distressing situation has an end-point; the introduction of the Noahide Laws, and the utter subjugation of the goyim beneath Orwell’s iron-clad boot, for evermore. The jew has been working towards this antichrist endgame for… Read more »
