Because sanctions are extremely light here in France. On the news recently a Doctor got beaten bloody, and the aggressor walked out free.

In France self defense is frowned upon by authorities sadly.

I won’t argue about the police brutality because it exists, but the problem is deeper than that. When the law can’t stop you from stealing, nothing can!
