In France, North African Muslims Riot, Pillage, Set Cars and Buses Aflame
JUN 30, 2023 2:00 PM BY HUGH FITZGERALD24 COMMENTSOn Tuesday, a 17-year-old Franco-Algerian, Nahel M., had been driving a rented Mercedes AMG without a valid driver’s license in Nanterre, a suburb of Paris. Nahel, who was too young to possess a full driver’s license in France, was employed as a delivery driver. Accompanying him in the car were two other passengers. Nahel, who had several previous traffic violations on his record, was stopped by the police. It was alleged by the police that Nahel refused to comply with their instructions. In a video recording of the incident, someone can be heard warning, “you’re going to get shot.” When Nahel attempted to flee the scene by suddenly accelerating, one of the police officers fired a close-range shot into his chest. The police later claimed that they felt their lives were in danger, asserting that Nahel had been driving in such a way as to knock them down from the side. Told to stop, Nahel ignored the order, suddenly accelerated, and was shot. His car then collided with a nearby post.
Immediately, news spread through the tam-tam of the Internet, and by that evening riots, by North Africans, in Paris, Marseille, Bordeaux, and other cities and towns had started, and they are now in their fifth day, with no sign of dying down. Shops have had their windows smashed, and then looted by mobs — everything from high-end sports stores, where clothes and designer sneakers were stolen, to the luxury goods stores on the chic rue de Rivoli, where looters helped themselves to thousands of dollars worth of merchandise. Hundreds of cars and busses have been torched all over France.
Macron instantly deplored the behavior of the policeman who shot Nahel M.,without bothering to wait for the results of a formal investigation. He no doubt hoped such a statement would calm the enraged rioters, but instead, it only inflamed them further. Then Macron, while many neighborhoods in Paris and Marseille were enduring riots by frenzied mobs of North African migrants, chose to attend an Elton John concert, in true “let-them-eat-cake” fashion. More on this here:
The killing of the 17-year-old was all the seething masses of violent and resentful maghrébins needed as an excuse to riot and vandalize and steal, expressing their hatred of the French state and its representatives, the police, and setting on fire automobiles and buses belonging both to the police and to French individuals. And under cover of the riots, they have systematically engaged in the mass looting of stores, concentrating – they’re no fools – on luxury items.
More than 40,000 police have been called up to stop the rioters. To date about 950 rioters have been arrested, and more than 280 policemen have been wounded. The riots are continuing in Paris and Marseille, with no sign of diminishing.
Yet the non-French media do not dare to report things as they are. The international media report as a given that the policeman was guilty of manslaughter, presumably moved by anti-Algerian “racism” rather than by an understandable desire not to be knocked down, from the side, by the car Nahel M. was illegally driving. Nor has the media noted that the rioters, as they looted shops, and burned buses, and threw Molotov cocktails at the forces of order, could be heard uttering the Muslim war cry of “Allahu akbar.” That might provide greater understanding of what prompts these rioters, who see nothing wrong with helping themselves to the property of French Infidels, “the most vile of created beings” or in defying the police, as representatives of the Infidel state.
These nationwide riots should wake up those French who have still been unwilling to recognize what the large-scale presence of Muslims in their country has meant, and will mean, for them in the future: riots, vandalism, mass theft, mayhem of every kind. Yet the immigration into France from North Africa continues unabated, with every sensible effort to halt it, as with the measures proposed by Eric Zemmour, met with cries of “racism” and “Islamophobia.”
Will Emmanuel Macron stop attending Elton John concerts — which is what he did on Thursday night, as Paris was burning — and return to his presidential post in the midst of the greatest civil unrest in his country since 1968? If he cannot handle the situation, and put paid to these riots by arresting not 950, but ten or twenty times that number of offenders, then he should make way for someone who can.
