Thugs in Paris attacked a man who was walking to his office without a mask, and beat him bloody. Then they made false accusations against him.

Did they do this because he did not wear a mask? Or did they do this because he was black? I suppose it was the latter, since they called him racist insults too.

It was right for them to take quick action on seeing a person outside without a mask on. But the proper action was to give him a mask to put on immediately, and fine him. Perhaps arrest him if it was a repeat offense. Not to invade his studio and attack him and others.

I am glad to see that the authorities are not delaying the pursuit of these thugs. In the US it typically takes mass protests, over time, to get that far.

Article 24, which puts people in jeopardy if they expose thugs for their crimes, is very dangerous for human rights in France.
