A large number of residents of the heavily-migrant populated Paris areas of La Chapelle, Goutte-d'Or and Barbès have demanded the government act to stop underage Moroccan migrant gangs, with women being routinely targetted for assault.
The petition, which now stands at over 1,600 signatures, asks the local government to provide measures to deal with the gangs of underage Moroccan migrants, typically aged 14 to 17, many of which are addicted to drugs Le Parisienreports.One resident, named Mireille, claimed that the migrants had
targetted her and her 15-year-old daughter saying, "The first time was a Sunday night, I saw three of these young people on the sidewalk and I felt a threat then we turned around, but right after one of them jumped to my daughter's throat, maybe to get her collar on her, she broke free, started to cry."
"The next day we filed a complaint, but now I'm no longer quiet in the street, and she either. It is very unfair not to be able to walk freely in this neighbourhood," she added.
Comment: Yeah, that sounds about right.
