I have. Roving gangs of muslims on every street corner, literally once a minute wishing I had a gun. The entire city reeks of piss and manners is a word they clearly don't have over there.
All of this sounds completely fake, except for the "manners" part which you got by reputation. Doesn't sound like you actually visited the place. What locations did you supposedly visit? What hotel were you?
I doubt you will be able to answer this, but props if you do.
Compares unfavourably to goddamn CLEVELAND dude.
Dunno about Cleveland, I've been there as many times as you've been to Paris.
Don't try to run defense for Paris.
Almost no one here has ever been there, which is why it's so easy for you to deceive people with your usual Boomercon opinions. Reality is different.
Oh my goodness I'm so sorry, I should have gushed on about the expensive shopping scene instead of pointing out how the city is overrun with foreigners on the dole.
You being a kurd and all probably feel perfectly safe. I should have considered your, what is it liberals call it, lived experience.
Also, given that they allow sexual emergency defense in court over there, any numbers coming from their government are suspect at best. Murder or otherwise.

Nope. But it's noted that you can't even say where your hotel supposedly was, and what places you supposedly visited. That's because you've never visited the city. Either that, or you were duped by a hotel outside the city.
You being a kurd
I'm a what now? You gotta admit, it's impressive to simultaneously be an Italian, Arab, Jew, Russian and now a Kurd.
and all probably feel perfectly safe
The main reason I care about politics at all is because immigration makes a mess of the entire continent.
Doesn't mean you get to lie about visiting Paris when you never have.

More of your Fixed Noise brainrot. The 'sexual emergency' case wasn't even in France, and it wasn't "allowed" in court - the guy was sentenced to one of our dreadfully low prison sentences.
I wanted to joke that you'd claim that the numbers are fake, but decided against insulting your intelligence so gravely.
Imagine asking for a list of places as if it were concrete verification that you had visited those places. Any LLM will give you a plausible list of sightseeing spots and hotels for any major city from damn near any time period you ask it to.
Here's a quick run-down of the places I saw when I was in Paris back in 1900. I assure you I have perfect recollection from my trip 125 years ago. I visited the Exposition Universelle along the Seine to check out the Grand Palais and Petit Palais and the Ferris wheel. Had dinner at Maxim's. Checked out the Winged Victory of Samothrace at the Louvre and had lunch at the Tuileries Gardens.
Obviously had to check out the Moulin Rouge for the can-can girls.
Need me to continue? Now it's on you to prove that I wasn't there.
Oh, I'm sure you'd be able to tell me using AI to make up tall tales about an American city when I haven't been there.
But even if I didn't, I'd point out that the surroundings of these places isn't anything as you described. In fact, there is no neighborhood in Paris that has 'roving packs of Muslims at every corner'. Not even the worst suburbs where I've never been.
Anyway, even if you're that paranoid, you could specify the neighborhood. Of course, you can't because you weren't there (98% chance) or you know you didn't actually stay in Paris (2%).
You'd be surprised at how bad people are at faking this sort of thing.
But I asked him where he has been. Then you can test that against what is in the neighborhood of those place. If I say that I went to Skid Row in LA and I saw tons of tents and drug addicts, that's one thing. If I say that I went to Beverly Hills and there were drug addicts everywhere, and people were shooting each other from cars, that's quite another. You see what I mean?
Well sure but bad neighborhoods are equally as famous as good neighborhoods. So even if he was making shit up, he'd have available knowledge to know the bad sites.
I was there about 8 years ago ago. No roving gangs, but it was starting to decline. The subway was full of Africans and they were also all selling garbage trinkets. What stuck out to me was the amount of graffiti you see everywhere.
It started to decline, as far as I can tell, in 2015 with the fake refugee crisis. It hasn't gotten better since, with more and more homeless drug addicts roaming the streets.
The graffiti is a problem everywhere in Europe. I don't know why people put up with this.
May I ask where, if you remember, you saw blacks selling trinkets? Not a gotcha. From your reply, it's very clear to me that you were actually there.
Yes, they were selling trinkets right by the Eiffel Tower where the tourists congregate. It was in the evening when I saw them, so am not sure if they do it all day.
Ah, I thought it would be the Sacré Coeur area, which is more notorious for this sort of thing.
One thing that's a major problem everywhere in Paris, and everywhere in Europe in touristic areas, is pickpocketing. It's so bad that when you try to buy a train ticket in Italy, the first audio the machine will play is: "Beware of pickpockets."
It isnt lol. Most non coastal big cities have the rot smell now. I first noticed it in Rome about 12 years ago. SF had it when I was there last week. LA doesn't have it but DOES have the crowds of cave people everywhere.
Paris didn't have the stench 20 years ago, but it had started in the underground around 15 years ago. It's fully believable that it has arrived in the years since. My last connection to a visit was 5 or so years ago, and the verdict was "I'm never going back" from a person who is decidedly NOT aware of the issues we discuss here.

What do you mean by 'the rot smell'? Urine smell? It's actually very rare - maybe they cleaned Rome up in the meantime. Funny thing is, Paris is quite bad on that regard, but it is very far from it being 'everywhere' or even in many places.

Very interesting. Can you explain your reasons?
Paris is bad.
I actually think that's a valid opinion. But these Boomer-brainrot types keep portraying it as a post-apocalyptic hellhole, and they've never been there. That's quite absurd.

Per 100,000 capita murder rate:
Paris: 1.1
Cleveland: 33.7
New York City: 5.3

Doubly no because you're a vaxxer.
Doxx? You live in that hotel?

KIRAJ?
This thread goes well with this post.

No dog in the fight but tell me what's in Paris isn't a great filter when there's Google maps and live video streams of Paris online
