In addition to my normal skewed interpretation of the world/flights of fancy, I’m also running off 2 hours of sleep today and I really thought the picture accompanying the article was a picture of a French gangster.
I was so impressed at how the French approach even gang wars with a bit of pomp.
I was kind of disappointed when I opened the article to see that she’s just like, a cop. I mean, still fancy, I guess, but not “blastin’ with gold filigree on my hat” fancy.
Also - horrifying. I hope they get that under control.
Bring back blunderbusses, muskets, swords, and tri cornered hats to French crime #keepitoldschool
Police bust into a building through the windows, swinging from the chandeliers:
"Ha ha! Zis is a raid! En garde naives...!"
Fight music and clashing of swords starts.
