Virus Outbreak France Guadeloupe Protests

French authorities sent police special forces to the Caribbean island of Guadeloupe, an overseas territory of France, as protests over COVID-19 restrictions erupted into rioting and looting for the third day in a row. On Sunday, many road blockades by protesters made traveling across the island nearly impossible. (AP Photo/Elodie Soupama)LE GOSIER, Guadeloupe (AP) — Schools closed across the French Caribbean island of Guadeloupe on Monday and France's prime minister appealed for calm and dialogue after protests against COVID-19 rules and vaccinations descended into days of rioting and looting.
France's central government sent in police special forces to restore order in Guadeloupe, as emergency workers said they were unable to reach neighborhoods barricaded by angry crowds.
The prefect of Guadeloupe said 11 people were arrested by police overnight Sunday into Monday. He said some patients who need to receive kidney dialysis treatment couldn't get access to a hospital and “are now in danger.”
“We have several patients' in the blockaded area of La Boucan, tweeted Patrick Portecop, head of the regional emergency service. “We are powerless.”
Guadeloupe’s education department ordered schools closed Monday and urged parents to keep their children at home.
Demonstrations in Guadeloupe, an overseas French department of about 400,000 people, erupted over France’s mandatory vaccinations for health care workers and the country's COVID-19 health pass, which is required to enter restaurants and many other venues across France.

As they degenerated into rioting, an 80-year-old woman was hit by a bullet while on her balcony and at least two others were injured, according to local authorities. A weapons store was among businesses looted, the regional prosecutor said.
While mainland France has seen similar protests, demonstrators in Guadeloupe are also angry over deep-seated economic, social and racial inequality, and expanded their demands in recent days to include a general salary increase, higher unemployment benefits and the hiring of more teachers.
Guadeloupe's COVID-19 vaccination rate is 33%, compared to 75% nationwide, which authorities blame on false information about vaccines shared online. There is also distrust toward central authorities stemming frompast health scandals.
French Prime Minister Jean Castex held an emergency video conference Monday with officials from the region. He called for calm and promised a dialogue with health care workers who are opposed to vaccination.
On Monday, the mood in Guadeloupe's main city of Pointe-a-Pitre changed from street to street. Police were clearing major thoroughfares of road blockades that have made movement difficult for days. Smoke wafted up from heaps of burning garbage. Nails, broken glass and tree trunks littered the streets and one woman rummaged through the charred remains of her home.
Outside the main hospital, striking workers have set up a camp against mandatory vaccinations for health workers, and sympathizers bring food.
Guadeloupe President Ary Chalus decried the looting: “We cannot destroy what we built together.” But he noted that the riots are 'about more than mandatory vaccination,' and lamented on television that the central French government hasn't responded to requests for economic support “as fast as they sent in law enforcement” to quell the rioting.
“There is a situation that is very explosive, there is a very local context. There are tensions that we know about that are historic,” French President Emmanuel Macron said Monday, adding that 'the vaccine is the best protection, and to not cede to lies or manipulation. ... Public order must be maintained. Guadeloupe has the right to calm.”
The nearby island of Martinique is facing a general strike that started Monday over virus rules and long-standing grievances with the mainland.

San Diego Criminal Defense Attorney Benjamin Theule explains how police officers set up online prostitution stings to lure unsuspecting 'johns' into a situation where they can be arrested for solicitation. Despite being known as the world's oldest profession, prostitution is thriving more than ever because of the Internet and websites like Craigslist and Backpage. Police officers know this and routinely setup online prostitution stings to try to crack down on this type of activity. You can be arrested for solicitation of prostitution even if you back out at the last minute if the cops believe you may have done an 'act in furtherance of' prostitution.
(1) What is involved in a prostitution sting?What the cops are going to do is to go online and create an ad on backpage.com or other sites like Craigslist, where they'll post an ad in the escort section with seductive picture of a 'hot' female saying - for instance - 'Blonde Bombshell Looking For a Good Time. I've got what you need, give me a call.' When a 'john' calls, the police will be recording the call and will be gathering as much information as possible; talking about price, talking about sex acts, talking about meeting at a hotel.
Police officers will rent out a couple rooms at a local hotel and will have the John come to meet the girl (who is an undercover officer). The undercover officer will be wearing a wire to record the interaction. She'll try to confirm that the person is the same person she talked to on the phone, and that the meeting is about sex for money, in addition to gathering as much evidence as possible for the recording. Once they approach the room (typically as soon as they open the door), the other officers will arrest the individual.
(2) What happens if an individual backs out at the last minute?Sometimes individuals will get a bad feeling about the situation and will back out at the last minute, not going into the hotel room. A lot of officers may still make the arrest, saying just by going to or approaching the hotel room, that's an act in furtherance of prostitution, and that's enough to get a conviction.
(3) How do you defend against a solicitation charge?One of the most common defenses for prostitution or solicitation cases has to do with the intent involved. In order for the prosecution to prove that an act of prostitution or an act of solicitation was going on, they have to show that there was an intent to engage in sexual activity.
A lot of times during these stings, there's ambiguous language being used back and forth. Sometimes it's because of a language barrier between an individual and the police, or it could be because of the language being used by the cops. Sometimes they just hint at things hoping that a client will start talking 'sex, money, right now.' So that can open up legal defenses to employ.
Another defense that can sometimes be capitalized on is when an individual was simply messing around, with no real intent to commit an act of prostitution or solicitation; they see a girl who is very flirtatious, and they are seeing how far things can go with language, but there's no real intent to exchange money for sex.
