Apparently, the blatant immodesty caused them to run away in shock. O that such a ploy it would work with Daesh... In the noble spirit of self sacrifice I'd undertake to pick and train the "shock troupes" myself. A bravura splash of graffiti on the station building at Villefranche, Cote d'Azur, France.
