France rolls out school bag searches to combat knife violence

I think the hunters got mad, and it's one of the most powerful lobbying groups here. But IIRC the government is still moving forward on this

It's not a French riot without valiant, topless muses with flags promising liberty for all. 🤘🏼

Wait, they do what now? I thought, Opinels are equivalent to the french citizenship. When I think of France I picture Burgundy wine, baguette, Camembert, an Opinel and riots.

Are y'all rioting yet?

Because fucking with our personal freedom in the name of anti terrorism wasn't enough, they're also banning fucking *opinels* now, which are the cheese-and-charcuterie-eating implements by excellence.

Searching kids' school bags "because of knife violence" makes them get used to unwarranted searches in a police state.

I mean, searching kids' bags is one thing, but combat knife violence in school isn't a "solution" to anyone but cops.

The only way to stop a bad guy with a knife is a good guy with a bigger knife.

Everyone is going crazy about security these days.

Yes! You can die because of getting stabbed. But – you can also die because of stumbling over your open shoelaces. It's a life risk I'm willing to take.

If you want nearly perfect security, then you will have absolutely no freedom. Think about that.
