French police arrest a woman in Brittany over the
Tour de France's worst-ever crash

Original Article

A woman has been arrested by police probing the worst crash in the history of the Tour de France. French radio network RTL revealed the woman was arrested this morning and is now being held in police custody in Landerneau, a small town in Brittany where the 122-mile first stage from Brest ended on Saturday. It remains unclear if the woman handed herself in to police after prosecutors begged the public to help track her down. She is accused of involuntarily causing injury and faces a fine of 1,500 euros.

Comments:

1500 Euros is just under $1800 in US dollars, doesn't seem like enough after the disruption she caused. Hopefully they can find more charges for this idiot. That smirk on her face is sickening.

Her only mistake was not to include Black Lives Matter on her sign. Had she have done this she would have been hailed a worldwide hero and someone to be admired for being so woke

The tour de France hasn't seen this much drama since 1897.

The phrase 'Allez Opi Omi' has been showing up in dozens of internet stories. Hope she enjoyed her 2 seconds of fame.

The last entry in the bold text summary under the title reads: "This is an indictable offence in France punishable with up to a year in prison and a fine of just under £13,000." She can easily be identified as the article includes a clear picture of her face. A claimed alibi defense of "It wasn't me" should fail.

The problem with our modern and “safe” age is more stupid people survive to adulthood that otherwise wouldn’t make it.

Being a self-centered, uncaring idiot, and substantially harming others with your stupidity and arrogance should have a cost.

Sadly, this isolated incident will probably result in one or two things : A) Copycats with a "political message(s) " causing future disruptions.... B) Massive knee-jerk over-reaction by the Race authorities..."to make sure something like this never happens again "....meaning : fan access/viewing restrictions

I don’t think the message was intended for her grandparents. I think that she is the grandmother of one of the competitors. So it should be easy to ask the riders and find the one who is related to her.

My take on this is: yes, she's a dummy, but how did a dummy like her (and so many others) manage to get so close to the track? She caused the accident alright but only because the race security let people get so close to a narrow road FULL of bicyclists. If stupidity were a crime she'd be under arrest but then so would many others! The schmucks who run the Tour share in the responsibility.

Every location where the race is run allows spectators to stand right by the roadside within inches of the riders but in her case cluelessness had a lot to do with it. Some idiots even try to high-five their favorite riders. Try that at the Indianapolis 500.

She's getting away cheap. Fifteen hundred Euros wouldn't cover the cost of one of the wheels on those bikes. Each one of those bikes costs at least ten grand and more.

#13, I don't know about the EU, but in the US system a guilty establishes a basis for civil court, i.e. suing for damages. The fine is the literal tip of the iceberg.

Putting her on the road as a target is the most disgusting thing mentioned. Nice to see what kind of people post on these threads.She was unthinking, but I don't believe it was purposeful. Please have some forgiveness in your hearts.

When Fulton County, Ga., poll manager Suzi Voyles sorted through a large stack of mail-in ballots last November, she noticed an alarmingly odd pattern of uniformity in the markings for Joseph R. Biden. One after another, the absentee votes contained perfectly filled-in ovals for Biden — except that each of the darkened bubbles featured an identical white void inside them in the shape of a tiny crescent, indicating they’d been marked with toner ink instead of a pen or pencil. CORRECTION*

Perhaps CDC Director Rochelle Walensky has no sense of irony. We recently passed the 500th day to slow the spread, which, as we all know, started with 15 days to slow the spread in March of 2020. Now, Walensky is saying that if we all put on a face diaper and get the jab, we can defeat the Delta variant in a few weeks: “We can halt the chain of transmission,” Walensky told “CBS This Morning” on Wednesday. “We can do something if we unify together, if we get people vaccinated who are not yet vaccinated, if we mask in the interim, we can

Over the weekend, the American public finally learned that the vaccinated were being forced to wear masks again because of a massive outlier in Massachusetts where vaccinated people at a beach gathering had a high viral load in their nasal pharynx. And when press on the data during an appearance on CBS’s Face the Nation on Sunday, Dr. Anthony Fauci claimed that viral load meant the vaccinated were spreading it at the same rate as the unvaccinated. But Fauci would be later proven wrong by a high-ranking Israeli public health official and a former FDA commissioner. CBS moderator John Dickerson began by asking Fauci what new understanding

Provo, Utah–As Mindy Greene spent another day in the COVID intensive care unit, listening to the whirring machines that now breathed for her 42-year-old husband, Russ, she opened her phone and tapped out a message. "We did not get the vaccine," she wrote on Facebook. "I read all kinds of things about the vaccine and it scared me. So I made the decision and prayed about it and got the impression that we would be ok." They were not. Her husband, the father to their four children, was now hovering between life and death, tentacles of tubes spilling from his body.

Senator Kevin Cramer (R-ND) joined Jay Thomas on “The Jay Thomas Show” on Tuesday and took questions from local callers. During their conversation Senator Cramer was asked by a caller about Ashli Babbitt and her killer Lt. Mike Byrd. Senator Cramer refused to identify the killer but said he was grateful for the officer’s action. Senator Cramer then lied and said Ashli Babbitt was warned by police before she was shot in an ambush. This is a bald-faced lie. The officer hid in the shadows, did not utter a word, and then shot Ashli Babbitt in the neck as she climbed through a window. She was unarmed and was not a threat.

TOKYO — Laurel Hubbard, a transgender weightlifter from New Zealand, was knocked out of the women’s 87+ kilogram competition early after failing on all three of her attempts. Hubbard failed on her first attempt to get 120kg above her head, bailing out early. On her second attempt at 125kg, she was able to get the weight up and pumped her fist after in satisfaction, however judges ruled it a “no lift.” She returned quickly for another attempt at 125kg only to fail to stand up with the weight above her head. Hubbard was the only one of the 13 finalists to not complete at least one lift.
