#5  Embarrassed but harassed, they say,
By parasites paralysé,
"It's cruel we must school
This young fool with les boules!"
But when harried, they parried. Hooray.

#4  From Bright Pebbles’ link, a very useful clarification:

UPDATE. Paris fought back:

Witnesses cited by French media said a group of men playing boules threw heavy metal balls that are used in the popular game at the attacker, with one hitting him on the head and stalling him.

If you’ve ever played boules – I have, many times – you’ll appreciate how this strike might have stalled Afghan Stabby.

Thierry, a witness quoted on BFM TV, said a group of people then assailed the attacker.

"Someone with a wooden stick smashed him across the knees and he fell to the ground," he said. "Loads of people arrived, some were saying 'kill him' but one guy who was pinning him down said 'no, the last thing we must do is kill him.'"

#2  It's a well known problem that the establishment make sure people do not look into

The establishment need to be exported to the shitholes they imported people from.
