Four Boston College Female Students Acid-Attacked in France

29

Four Boston College women studying abroad in Paris were attacked at a station in Marseille by a woman who tossed acid in their faces.

Police say the incident wasn’t terror related — but then again, they also say they’ve not ruled out terrorism completely.

Passengers look at information monitors at the Saint-Charles Station in Marseille, France, where four Boston College female students were attacked.

They also aren’t releasing the name of the 41-year-old woman they arrested as a suspect, either.

And what’s still unknown: Did this woman target these poor college students because they were American? Did she target them because they weren’t wearing a burka, in accordance with sharia law?

These are the elephants in the room — and law enforcement is dragging on getting the answers.

Here’s some of the story, from ABC News:

The four American women attacked in Marseille, France with hydrochloric acid by a woman early Sunday are students at Boston College, a university spokesman said in a statement.

The students, all juniors, were studying abroad in Europe. Three of the women were enrolled at Boston College’s Paris program, and the fourth was a student at the Copenhagen Business School in Denmark, the spokesman said.

The acid incident occurred at around 11 a.m. local time Sunday morning at the Saint-Charles train station in Marseille.

All of the students were apparently targeted by what authorities describe as a 41-year-old woman with a history of psychiatric problems.

The incident was not terror-related, Marseille police said.

Two of the students were treated for burns to their face at a Marseille hospital and have since been discharged, police and the university spokesman confirmed. The other two students were treated at the scene for shock, police confirmed to ABC News.

“It appears that the students are fine, considering the circumstances, though they may require additional treatment for burns,” Nick Gozik, director of Boston College’s Office of International Programs. “We have been in contact with the students and their parents and remain in touch with French officials and the U.S. Embassy regarding the incident.”

Local newspaper La Provence reported that the arrested woman told authorities she wanted others to suffer like she had.

The woman, according to the newspaper, told police she “went crazy” and was not targeting anyone in particular. She also showed officers pictures of herself with burns and claimed she had been a victim of an acid attack, and wanted to replicate what others had suffered, the newspaper reported.

A U.S. State Department spokesperson told ABC News they are “aware” of the acid attack against the Americans, but deferred any specifics on the incident to local authorities.

“The safety and security of U.S. citizens abroad is one of the State Department’s highest priorities. Due to privacy considerations, we have no further comment,” the State Department spokesperson said.

When they don’t provide a suspects name, use the mental illness defense and say it is not related to terrorism, you can usually connect the dots.
My advice to travelers is to stay away from Europe. Its no longer your parents Europe. It is now EUrostan.

I had to travel to Marseilles for business about 10 years ago. To say it was a sh*thole is to insult sh*tholes everywhere. Don’s advice is correct – stay away from Europe. (I travelled through London as well last year and was shocked at how dirty it has become.) Stay far, far away.

We’ve been hearing about acid attacks on women in Pakistan and Afghanistan for quite a few years now – I am sure that the EU has admitted more than a few — for humanitarian reasons of course — come on Trump — call the frogs out on this!

france is becoming more like pakistan every day, first it was the people, then the filth, now it is the muslim culture of violence that dominates everywhere muslims are. The french accept this willingly as it enhances their drab and colourless mime like lives, they are now in the “invisible” box of islam, there is only one way out.

Parisabad and Marsallibad. Expect more acid attacks. Muslims have no fear of being caught, killed, and incarcerated. After all Allah will give them all sorts of rewards for this in the afterlife. Only two ways to stop the. Send them back where they came from or kill them all.

I imagine their acid attack didn’t leave them disfigured for life — otherwise they might be singing a different tune.
In the atheist West it’s allah board for the train ride to islamic hell on earth.

Shockingly, Boston College, US media and French media have remained silent about the circumstances and all details regarding the assailant. I have never accepted the “mental illness” excuse, save for the reality that if she had been attacked with acid herself, as she professed, and was living with the permanent disfigurement and horror behind her head covering, she may have a vendetta against innocent, young women traveling carefree and joyfully about Europe. It is reprehensible that the evidence of Sharia adherent Islamism, metastasizing across the world, continues to be ignored, buried and labeled as “Islamophobia” by the willfully ignorant.

Stay out of acid-spraying and knife-stabbing range of Muslims and street criminals.

What were four female students from America doing in France?
Apparently, they didn’t get the memo of what France, Europe as a whole, and the Netherlands has become and now belong to any Muslim who can make bombs, behead Priests in their church, obtain and throw acid, carry a knife/gun, throw gays off of buildings, inflict any kind of horror on women and little girls, and any other horror they can inflict on the human race who does not bow to their god.

But then, we have similar horrors going on here in America by Black Lives Matter, Antifa, and every Libtard who results to violence in their efforts to tear down America and her history.

SPLC, CAIR, and many other anti-America, anti-freedom vile traitors to our country roam around free to inflict anything they want on Americans. George Soros (who just received millions from Kellogg’s) struts around free in our country brandishing his dual citizenship with America and Hungary when it has already been proven that he is funding most of the violence during the election and since then. He also funded the violence of Occupy Wall Street. He funds many of our elected officials -McLame, Marco Rubio, and others.

We need a Petition to President Trump to rescind his American citizenship for sedition and traitorous acts against America and her people.

A year ago we heard that Kellogg’s had given one million dollars to BLM to help them commit violence against Americans and law enforcement- I quit buying Kellogg’s products…..now, yesterday, we heard on the news that Kellogg’s has been giving money to SPLC and many other anti-American groups.

I don’t know what Kool Aid Kellogg’s is drinking, but clearly they don’t know how to connect the dots…..Muslims and other anarchist don’t eat cereal or many of their products….it’s not Halal (adhering to Muslim requirements). And, there are not enough of them to support Kellogg’s extreme Libtard, over- paid leadership.

Time for us to show Kellog’s – like we did Target and other companies over the men in women/girls restrooms – that this is America…home of the Brave and the Free….go online, make a list of every product Kellogg’s is behind -yes, sadly Kiebler cookies and some crackers that I used to love – carry that list with you to the store and start looking for alternatives.

Why would anyone put money in the pockets of companies that give money to those who hate America and are bent on destroying us?

Act now or learn to enjoy Halal products and brutality for the rest of your lives….it’s coming to that.

You’ve got to be kidding. That, or you’ve been brainwashed. Pres. Trump is doing more for this country and its safety from all threats than any previous president. Please wake up. He can’t do exactly what you want, exactly when you want it. He’s engaged in a long-term war and has the media, the Democratic Party, much of the Republican Party, the NeverTrumpers, Breitbart News and Steve Bannon, and many other so-called “conservative Trump supporters” against him. He is brilliantly carrying out his agenda, and we can’t and won’t be able to see every step and result along the way. Please stop the knee-jerk criticisms and let him do his work.

The only thing that has ever stopped this jihad is war. Get over it, and learn to fight fire with a bigger fire. They attack with acid, and the radical Islamic jihad motivation is covered up (I see the hand of the US State Dept. Tillerson, the Muslim Brotherhood’s biggest Muslim Brotherhood supporter after Hillary) – then boycott all Muslim stores, there are lots of them in the US, call them and say why.

The extraordinary lengths to which the media has protected the female perpetrator of this horrific acid attack certainly leads one to suspect she is Muslim. “Authorities” reveal that the attacker was “known,” was a victim of an acid attack herself, and has a history of “mental illness.” It is informative that authorities did not offer any details regarding her mental illness. One could accurately speculate that she is confined to a full burka, horribly disfigured from the acid attack she suffered, and subsequently, has serious mental health issues. I suspect this was a resentful, premeditated attack against these unsuspecting Western girls with beautiful faces and their full lives ahead of them. Acid attacks are committed 99.9% by Muslims and are a component of sharia punishment. Just like Nidal Hassan, the Ft. Hood jihadist, was “mentally ill” and his atrocity labeled “work place violence,” so too was the “mentally ill veteran” who committed jihad at Ft. Lauderdale International Airport and the “mentally ill,” disgruntled employee who committed jihad and beheaded a fellow employee at the Oklahoma Meat Packing plant, and of course, the gender conflicted “mentally ill” jihadist who plotted to terrorize Mainstreet USA at Disney World, but decided it was too secure and attacked Pulse Nightclub in Orlando instead. Where are the journalists? AWOL for at least the last decade.
