"I wish I could say that the French Alps healed me. That I basked in their beauty and found the spiritual rest and direction I was seeking."
"But Grenoble frightened me. I heard stories of midday muggings where victims were pepper sprayed. Once, I saw two cars in a parking lot engulfed in flames. Another time, a rock shattered the bus window next to my face while I rode home from work, scattering glass fragments across the seat."

Why all the crime in France? Could it be immigrants?
The globalist left are on the march to de-criminalize crime.
Soros funds a lot of it. The left deny it all.

That makes NO SENSE..
If immigrants were the cause of crime; crime should be sky high here in the states; oh wait!
Women think finding love with men is complicated.
Then they find out it isn't.
All you have to do is rub the bulge.
NYT writes its headlines for a particular type of fart-sniffing wine-and-cheese tittering brand of BoBo dipshits. The headline above is a perfect example.
>"Being a follower of Jesus comes with certain expectations of conduct and purity. But this was a statue, not to mention a cultural experience...And so, we shined the statue in turn and sent our request into the universe. Ashley gave him a confident polish, I an apologetic stroke."<
Gag. Yes, of course, it is creative writing. But she actually had the revealing thought. Is there anyone who thinks for a minute that she entertained such virtuous 'Jesus pure' qualms during the two and half years between the time she fell in love with Billy and the day she married him?
Go buy a lottery ticket Micah. You are a lucky, lucky man.
Diversity is our strength.
"stories of midday muggings where victims were pepper sprayed. Once, I saw two cars in a parking lot engulfed in flames"
The likelihood of the perps being followers of Big Mo as they Allahu Akbared their way through Europe is 100%.
Read the story. She comes off as hyper neurotic and not very bright. Sticking with Micah as if he was the last man on earth. Leaving her friend to put her on a dating app. Unable to bear the loneliness of her own thoughts.
Sad, really, but if the marriage works, she'll have lucked out, and for her sake I hope it does.
Otherwise, this is why we write essays around a subject and not publish our raw material.
"Why all the crime in France? Could it be immigrants?"
Yep. I hear a lot of Americans like to visit France.
"The globalist left are on the march to de-criminalize crime.
"Soros funds a lot of it. The left deny it all."
As do all rational people.
"If immigrants were the cause of crime; crime should be sky high here in the states; oh wait!"
Do you have evidence to support your implication that immigrants are the cause of high crime in the States?
"Soros funds a lot of it. The left deny it all.",

That's a cheap shot, calling the Philadelphia Inquirer 'irrational.'
Soros, a philanthropist who pushes for criminal justice reform and other issues, had already spent about $10 million around the country to back progressive candidates for top prosecutor jobs in 2017 when he focused on the Democratic primary here. Philadelphia Justice and Public Safety, a PAC he funded, spent almost $1.7 million to help Krasner.

Actually, the French followers of Our Lord & Savior, like many other ethnic groups, brought along quite a bit of the old pagan ways with them, including saints that had fertility rituals associated with their shrines, including my namesake.
This stuff goes back a long way.
Yes, actually, it is young male immigrants committing the majority of violent crimes throughout Europen countries with high immigration rates, especially rioting and violent and sexual crimes directed at women, girls, gays, and Jews. The statistics are entirely unambiguous.
The situation in Britain is a bit different regarding crime in general bit not crimes directed at young women and girls, knife crimes, random attacks, and of course terrorism.
Do you have evidence to support your implication that immigrants are the cause of high crime in the States?
Not the sole cause, no, but a major contributing factor, obviously. The truth is incontestable, but whether a jerk like you would be persuaded, by anything short of a knife at your throat and a demand to “Dame tu billetera!” is debatable. L
Sheesh. Bunch of grouches around here! I liked it.

Re Grenoble, must have caught the same disease I sensed in Lyon that sent me to Grenoble. At the time, it WAS idyllic. And moreso upon encountering a French via Vietnam gal who ultimately provided company to Nice and Monaco and back up to Paris, wher some drama ensued.
