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.
Maybe trust the victims first and if there is evidence against it doubt?
Edit: As I dit not write that clear enough: If people are accused of course not just lock them up but if hundreds of people report that they are victims of a crime don’t just call bs.
So guilty until proven innocent? Just lock up random people based on vague memories when drunk?
Did they accuse random people? As far as I understood the articles, they filed reports but did not name suspects. When random people get locked up for this, that’s an issue for sure. I meant that you should not instantly call bs when hundreds of people report something like this.
