City of Paris deploys "anti-refugee boulders" to prevent camping while waiting for space at a humanitarian center

Once again, a biased media goes off half cocked and Corey blithely reposts the accusation without waiting for the whole story. Because who cares about justice, right? Accusations are more than sufficient to get people worked up…

The RATP (Parisian authority for Regional Transport) is currently building Tramway lines on the Boulevards Marechaux that replaced Paris’s last defensive walls & moat in the 1920s. The Boulevard Marechaux used to have bridges and tunnels that allowed the circumferential traffic to avoid slowing each other down but the Trams are too heavy/need to much room so most of them are being removed and the few that remain will need to be heavily reinforced.

The entire north of Paris has become very difficult to enter/exit due to the roadwork and the bridge in question is due to be destroyed in a few weeks, but for those with an axe to grind it’s an unholy plot to deny immigrants a dry spot to sleep and not because it’s a dangerous construction zone that the RATP needs to evacuate so that no-one gets injured/killed.
