Culture-Enriching Rape in the Hospital at Nanterre

The following French news report doesn’t mention the ethnicity of the “homeless person” who snuck into a hospital and raped an elderly woman in her bed. However, you can bet that if the attacker had been a white Frenchman, that fact would have been all over the news, and police investigators would already have discovered Rassemblement National literature in his digs. Therefore, I’m betting on cultural enrichment in this case.

A couple of notes. First, the daughter of the victim appears to be part African, so the victim herself may well be a culture-enricher. Secondly, if millions of invaders hadn’t been brought into the country, there wouldn’t have been any need for all those elaborate security precautions. Hospitals would routinely be safe places, and rapes of patients would be extremely rare. Notice that having “only” seven attacks a year constitutes a big improvement!

Video transcript:

00:01   She was raped in her hospital bed.
00:04   Within these walls, in Nanterre.
00:07   Last July, a 70-year-old woman was recovering from a fall,
00:11   when she was attacked by a homeless person.
00:14   Some hours later, her daughter, at her mother’s bedside,
00:18   will never forget her look, on that day.
00:22   She looked worn out, tired, devastated.
00:31   Sadness and anger.
00:34   According to her, the rapist got into the hospital through a defective emergency exit.
00:40   To prove it, she has provided us with this video, recorded the morning after the rape occurred.
00:45   The filming person opens the emergency exit from the outside without any difficulty.
00:52   Under normal conditions, it’s impossible.
00:55   Concerned about this malfunctioning, the victim’s loved ones pointed out
00:59   they had warned the hospital facility some days before the attack.
01:02   This makes me angry because I said to myself that
01:05   whenever a person is hospitalized, they must be safeguarded.
01:09   According to the 70-year-old woman’s lawyer, there were neither cameras
01:13   nor security guards in the building at the time of the incident.
01:16   Did the hospital of Nanterre turn out to be negligent?
01:20   The hospital management refused to agree to an interview.
01:23   Here is their answer, sent by e-mail:
01:26   “We reserve our answers for the judiciary about the circumstances of the events
01:30   and the measures in force within the facility”
01:33   The rapist has been arrested, placed under preventive detention while waiting for the trial.
01:38   The family will alert people about the lack of safety in the hospital.
01:44   This seems the purpose of the author of this video too,
01:48   which he filmed in the hospital he works in.
01:51   As in Nanterre, he can easily open this fenced emergency exit from the outside.
02:00   At the top of the stairway, it’s not difficult for him to overcome this door, blocked with a chair.
02:07   This access is, therefore, extremely vulnerable.
02:10   According to him, this is the floor where the ICU is located.
02:17   We showed this video to this experienced nurse. —Hospitals are real colanders, yes.
02:23   Throughout his 35-year-long career, he says that he witnessed malfunctions in numerous hospitals.
02:29   But it isn’t a matter of infrastructure only.
02:32   He says that the staff’s negligence plays a role too.
02:37   There are doors which are badly closed, which are blocked with some doorstops,
02:41   because it’s more practical, since it’s a little shortcut to go deliver lab results.
02:46   Because in the evening, the delivery guy comes to bring food to the medical teams,
02:50   so they don’t need to go downstairs to open the door for him. It’s simpler.
02:54   By doing this, they don’t realize how dangerous it can be.
02:57   According to him, there is an urgent need to secure hospitals.
03:02   Nevertheless, every year state aid has been allocated
03:06   to medical facilities, for the last six years.
03:09   Since it endured frequent break-ins and attacks,
03:12   the Arles hospital has recently received an envelope containing 200,000 euros.
03:16   This money has enabled them to install new cameras,
03:21   an electronic badge system, and a door-closing remote device.
03:26   On day-mode, the doors are opened automatically, whenever they detect someone’s presence.
03:30   If there’s any danger approaching, we switch to night-mode, which enables us to lock the doors.
03:35   Less than two years after securing her facility,
03:38   the manager already sees the results. —We used to have an average
03:42   of more than one attack a month, in the emergency unit.
03:46   In 2021 and in 2022, we only underwent seven attacks a year,
03:52   which means: the number of attacks has been reduced by half.
03:55   Since 2017, €25 million a year has been spent on securing the hospitals.
