      French authorities have arrested a Moroccan man after he allegedly lit a cigarette off a memorial in Paris.

      The moment at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, which includes an ever-burning flame, under the Arc de Triomphe was caught on video, leading to outrage from French leaders.

      Newsweek reached out to the French Interior Ministry for comment via email Wednesday afternoon.

      Typical IDGAF or who gives a shit attitude these days.

      He was a criminal before doing that stunt, good riddance.

      If they have to charge him with something maybe they should just charge him with trespassing since he went past the barrier, he hardly desecrated the monument, it’s still in one piece. If he wasn’t Moroccan his charge wouldn’t be as severe.

      Was that wrong? Should I not have done that? If anyone had said anything to me at all that this sort of thing was frowned upon…

      wtf, even the video in the article has the jet 2 (or whatever) holiday audio track.

      Well, at least he didn’t burn his face. That flame is a litte larger than one from a lighter, so this is a bit dangerous. (Gust of wind at the wrong time, etc.)

      They have so much respect for our fallen, history, and culture

      What’s the actual crime here, like disrespecting the monument or something?

      This is the most European thing anyone has ever done. Give him his citizenship.
      EDIT: Lived in France for years and literally saw a man in Nantes threaten to stab a group of people just to get a cigarette to smoke. Being this committed to smoking is a uniquely French phenomenon and this Moroccan is more French than anyone who has downvoted me.

      the right losing their shit over this is honestly hilarious

      I can’t imagine a more French thing he could have done, why are they mad at him?

      Well well, how the turntables!

      Pretty sure if a Frenchman lit up a Koran, a lot of people in this sub would say “meh, freedom of expression, so what?!”

      He did what many are dreaming of. The flame is the symbol of the great butchery and big capital starting war because they were afraid of a social revolution

    27. Ok_Awareness_9173 on

      Clearly very integrated into French culture (arrogant and loves smoking)

      Their eternal flame at the tomb of the unknown soldier is just out there unguarded where someone can walk up and light a cig off it? America’s has an armed guard

      Funny enough I asked if its doctor or engineer and it actually a morrocan hahahahaha

      The fallen soldiers would support this shouldn’t be illegal

      And of course everyone could guess the nationality without even reading it.

    35. DeaJes on
