There is a way to interpret her curfews other than "law and order" which is more consistent with her sympathetic approach to youth rapist gangs: she's being motherly. That may or may not be a bad thing. I remember a very amusing seminar with young (male) Scandinavian writers, and the Norwegian talked about how his generation were all "sons of Gro Harlem Brundtland".

guaranteed to evoke a violent reaction from police is to challenge their right to "define the situation." --- David Graeber citing Marc Cooper

sorry, I happen to be a mother too, and I don't think being being motherly should lead to be so irresponsible; I believe on the contrary, she would have had very different words had her own young daughters been living in one of those rather dangerous-for-unveiled-girls cités; and she would have been extremely severe had one of her beloved sons been anywhere near to raping a young girl; well at least I hope so; somewhat, it was the image I had of her, a humane and positive image, that her words that day, distroyed.
