Polymarket is a betting site, not a news site, but I caught them posting this earlier this week.
JUST IN: Public pool in Germany evacuated after dozens of French men allegedly jumped the fence, entered without paying, & clashed with staff.

I immediately wondered if these French men were like Maryland man Kilmar Abrego Garcia. I looked all around for more information, but the best I could find was an article posted to Reddit.
Post a picture of these French men. I have a theory https://t.co/oLDmImJhke

I’m sure the “French men” looked like this, right? Surely they weren’t foreigners… pic.twitter.com/jWj6jhjx9H

From the article I found on Reddit, which I think is from WELT:
Around 50 to 60 men from France reportedly made repeated attempts to enter an outdoor pool in Kehl, on the border with France, without paying admission. As a result, the police cleared the swimming pool in the Auenheim district, east of Strasbourg, on Sunday, according to their statement. The group is said to have climbed over the outer fence.
During the incident, multiple verbal altercations occurred with the security personnel. Furthermore, the "intruders" emptied trash cans and failed to abide by the applicable pool rules, the police reported. The security service reportedly ordered the group to leave the premises several times, but the men did not comply with the instructions. When the arriving police cleared the swimming pool, the troublemakers left the scene unrecognized.
Based on witness statements, the police informed WELT that the group was visually described as North African. It was no longer possible to conduct identity checks.
Definitely leaving out a huge portion of this story. Probably the true description of these "French men " 🤣

I'm betting they were not, in fact, French men

Were they wearing berets and shouting "Ou la la"?

Otherwise they weren't French.
*Fake news. If the Germans just started yelling, the French would have immediately surrendered.

They were seen using baguettes 🥖 as pool noodles

Germany needs to reinforce the borders around its pools and its entire country, with these rude French men pulling stunts like this.
