Attack on Erasmus students in Corsica.

My sister was beaten up last night by a small posse of Corsican high school kids. 

She was walking out of a bar with some friends, admittedly, they were a bit drunk, when they were ambushed by two girls and three guys that were obviously looking for an excuse to fight. Two of our friends, the Venezuelans, were walking ahead by a small distance and my sister and a Spanish friend were behind. So this Corsican girl starts insulting our Venezuelans, in a very degrading way, ordering them to give her a cigarette, and since they didn't smoke, the Corsicans jumped on the guy first and started beating the crap out of him. They pushed away the only other girl and she couldn't stand up again because of a leg injury that was just starting to heal.

When my sister and our other friend turned the corner, they saw the two girls laughing at our friend who was being pinned down by two guys while the third beat him to a pulp. So my sister and our other friend ran to help him out, but they were clocked from behind before they even got there, the Spanish fell to the ground and the girls then proceeded to stamp on his face. With high heels. My sister tried to pull them away but she was smacked hard by one of the guys and pushed against a wall, she stood up a second time since our friend was starting to bleed like a fucking faucet, no wonder, the heel went through his cheek, and one of the girls punched her on the face. She fell down and they started kicking her. 

I'm not sure how it went afterwards, but apparently they managed to stand up and walk away, it seems like the Corsican kids 'finally let them go', and as they were walking away towards the hospital, they could still hear them scream shit like 'Arabs de merde' and so on... 

Let's say it was about 2 am. They got to the hospital, our Venezuelan beaten hard, face unrecognisable, our Spanish friend bleeding out of his eye and mouth, my sister limping with a fat lip and the other girl writhing in pain from her leg. The doctor took one look at them and said 'those of you who are not bleeding, it's not urgent so go home and come back tomorrow at 11 am'. 

By then of course, they had contacted the other Erasmus students at the dorms and they were all at the hospital. The Spanish, the Brits, the Bulgarians, the Americans, the Russians, all 10 of them, most of who speak French perfectly although with an accent, the 'doctor' was unmoved by their pleas and started being a bit rude as well: 'Do-you-understand-the-words-that-are-coming-out-of-my-mouth?' Which of course led to another uproar in the emergency room, but they were just as easily dismissed. When they asked for some ice for our beaten up friend, the doctor laughed and said 'Hahah, ice? This is no ice cream parlour little girl, this is a HOSPITAL'.... 

In a civilised country, the doctor would have called the police because our friends were obviously attacked, they would have had the obligation to take their statements. Not here. They were all sent home, except for our Spanish friend who actually got some stitches on his face. A goddamn hole on his face made with some slut's high heels. The whole bunch of them, my sister included, marched towards the police station, untreated by the doctor, to press charges. It was closed. 

She then came home at about 6 am. I was sound asleep, to my horror, because I sustain, had I been there, it would have taken all 5 of them to bring me down, and I would have at least made sure one of them got their noses punched back into their goddamn skulls. 

So far I don't have any more news, but of course by this morning, everyone in this goddamn town had heard that some of the Erasmus students had been attacked by a group of Corsicans. There's a lot of speculation to whereas they were from the front or not. I'm writing this beforehand to clarify that it wasn't anyone from the front. It was a bunch of idiotic kids, I'm suspecting high as a kite, with grandeur deliriums and no fucking humanity. 

The saddest part here is that probably, their charges won't be taken seriously, and those kids will go unpunished, because Corsicans here make their own laws, and they don't persecute each other, and our friend will have to live with a scar on his face. 

And WHAT THE FUCK with that hospital! Fuck, fuck, seriously FUCK them. 

I'll go to sleep dreaming I was there, and we all started beating that doctor with our mighty fists of justice, bruising every single part of his exposed face, and once we were done say to him: 'Go on, treat your bruises although you're not bleeding, take one single band-aid, I FUCKING DARE YOU'.
