Yaka Maraval and the gypsy victims who had the apartments ransacked, set on fire, as well as two trucks and a car, “do not understand why no police protection measures had been put in place on Thursday evening” to prevent 250 to 300 young people armed with Kalashnikovs and iron bars invest without problem the residence Jupiter , to commit abuses, having terrorized parents and children.
