    The article just doesn’t care to tell you that the syringes were capped.

    The Sun helpfully includes that important detail.

    The influencer posted clips showing him creeping up on passersby and pretending to jab them with a capped syringe - just days before France’s massive Fête de la Musique street festival in June.

    I went looking for the information because I was like “you can kill someone so easy that way, wtf?”

      Tbf,the last time I have jabbed myself with a needle it had a fucking cap on. I simply fell over against a wall. To make things better it contained some nasty drug that in theory could have hurt me badly,but luckily didn’t.

      (Before anyone is concerned about my drug use - I work as a paramedic and the medication in the syringe is one I am highly allergic to…)

      Still better than a contaminated one. Wouldn’t recommend both, though.
