Retired teacher 'Marlene' faces jail for ripping off Muslim's veil in first case of 'burka rage' | Mail Online

I wish that someone would be ballsy enough to do that in this country.

The French woman felt enraged when she was shopping and saw another woman in a full burka.

"As a woman, I felt attacked," she said, so she attacked the woman.

What excellent logic the attacker employed.

It was self defense - she had no choice.

It was either burk or be burked.

Unfortunately for the french woman she didn't "just" try to take the veil off the other woman but DID physically assault her in the process.

She's just getting a head start on law enforcement. It'll be illegal to wear that stuff in 6 months time anyway. Maybe those women should start practicing now so it won't be such a burden once the law takes effect. At least France is getting their act together.

No excuse for getting violent unless you're under physical attack. What a nut.

Why would anyone lose control of themselves in such a manner? Are we so easily outraged these days? Have we no self-control? Why would anyone get so worked up over this anyway?

[MIKEETC]

Maybe the idea of not knowing what was "under there" drove her crazy because she just had to know...

This woman was a nutcase.
How could she possibly have felt attacked?
