She is “mentally disturbed,” of course, like all the rest.
“Panic in Marseille: she gets out of her car and begins to pray in the middle of the road,” translated from “Panique à Marseille: elle descend de sa voiture et se met à prier en plein milieu de la route,” Nice-Matin, December 23, 2021 (thanks to Medforth):
The scene sparked a wave of panic in the district of Gineste, in Marseille, this Wednesday, December 22.
The reason: the disturbing behavior of a 35-year-old motorist, reports La Provence.
While traveling in a Nissan, the latter suddenly stopped her car in the middle of the road, got out and began to pray on the road, according to a police source cited by our colleagues.
When other road users asked her to stop, the young woman then “got back into her vehicle and made dangerous maneuvers and swerves. Witnesses described her with a Koran in her hand, and she allegedly shouted Allahu Akbar on arrival of the police,” according to the same source.
She was easily apprehended, and nothing dangerous was found on her or in her vehicle.
Quoted by La Provence, the Marseille prosecutor’s office, which requested a psychiatric examination, specifies that the young woman “did not cause any damage, did not hit a car (…) and no one was injured.” She was not known to the anti-terrorism services, which moreover were not brought into the case Wednesday evening.
The lead of a mentally disturbed person is probably favored, concludes Provence.

Is that a bullet-proof vest the gendarme is wearing?
Or is it a stock photograph from somewhere else?
Is this now the new normal?
Cultural enrichment makes life more and more unsafe.

To MC: the bulge under the grey jacket is body armor.
Michael Copeland says
Not all that long ago police did not wear body armor.
Maybe it is the New Normal, an example of creeping loss of civilised norms.

I know that some accompanying pictures on stories here are from the specific case, but some are generic.
You are right, though, that bullet-proof vests used to be rare in Europe. Since mushrooming Jihad attacks they have become *much* more common.

What I found more significant in Paris were regular soldiers with rifles at the ready patrolling the platforms of Metro stations, and historic sites such as the Eiffel Tower. They were everywhere. It made Paris feel like a city in danger.

Yes–European cities never used to be like this.
mortimer says
The attempt to dismiss all jihadic terrorists as mental disturbance shows that those who do also dismiss psychiatry. In psychiatry, mental illness is characterized by disorganization of thought. Jihadists are often very organized and accomplished people who have been able to achieve through mental concentration and great self-discipline. A mental patient cannot concentrate and discipline himself long enough to achieve very much.
Consequently, most people like the woman in this news story are not ‘mentally ill’. There condition is called ‘overvalued ideation’ … Nazis who were PhDs had a similar condition of overvaluing Hitlerism, rather than critically examining it under their academic microscopes.
Isn’t it fascinating that woman used PRAYING in the middle of the street as a way to impose beliefs on Western people. ‘Only Allah has a right to be worshipped’ … this is a way of life, not just an empty slogan for Muslims. Jihad is the imposition of this belief on the ‘other’.

All true, Mortimer. And the genuinely mentally ill are often *much* less of a threat than are Jihadists. In fact, the mentally ill are more likely to be victims of violence than perpetrators.
Beneath the Veil of Consciousness says
A Nissan, you say? Well, that explains it. No self-respecting jihadi worth their weight would be seen dead (prior to a suicide attack) in anything other than the traditional Toyota pickup truck. Obviously, she’s an apostate. Therefore, clearly deranged.

All stolen from Australia and put in shipping containers!
ISIS didn’t even bother to take off the sign writing on the doors of the ones that were stollen from companies.
Just remember one of the starting places of ISIS was Sydney Australia.

She may not have had gun or knife, but she had an automobile and the book of filth that demands that she kill for her fake ‘god.’
She may have been planning to run over someone, but just had not worked it all out before she was on the street.
Like serial killers, who come in two forms: organized and disorganized, it happens with others who break the laws. Perhaps her muzlum brain is of the “disorganized” variety.
Rarely says
“I’m superior to you!! I can do what I want when I want to and you have to give me space. I don’t need to adhere to your laws if I don’t want to. Yadda, Yadda, Yadda.”
What an ignorant jerk.
My advice to her? Keep doing it until someone with the same sick mindset runs you over. Poetic justice — it will probably be another muslim.

Around 3 million people in France suffer from a serious mental illness. 6 million of these are Muslims.
