I like that the French expect immigrants to respect the established values or get the f out.
Wish my government had such a policy.

If you leave a place for a reason but don’t assimilate and adopt the host customs, then you’re just bringing your problems with you. Unfortunately that’s a good 50% of the cognitive dissonance around immigration. The other 50% is just racism / ethnocentrism.

People do a lot of dumb things. I kind of get some of them. I get bungee jumping, sky diving, even running naked across a football pitch if it makes you happy. But this is just… fucking why?

He wasn’t deported, he was given a three month suspended sentence and ordered to receive drug and alcohol treatment after pleading guilty and apologizing. [Source](https://www.brusselstimes.com/1697572/man-receives-conditional-jail-sentence-for-lighting-cigarette-with-eternal-flame-in-paris).
