It was all over the French news.
|
|
Last Friday in Paris, two thugs, ages 16 and 17, tried to steal a cell phone from a 14-year-old.
|
|
The youngster resisted, so they stabbed him to death.
|
|
The head of the Paris police complained about an increase in scale, a rise in violence among the youth.
|
|
Interior Minister Bruno Rotaillot declared himself horrified by a loss of bearings and the collapse of authority.
|
|
These guys are deep thinkers.
|
|
The big French state TV program, C'est dans l'air, spent an hour
|
|
I learned that children under 18 commit 30% of the violent robberies and 40% of the burglaries.
|
|
This lady jabbered about how France has failed its youth.
|
|
So that's the problem.
|
|
Another report, this time on BFMTV.
|
|
More statistics on youth crime.
|
|
Young French people are really turning out awful.
|
|
There was a fancy roundtable on the big broadcaster TF1.
|
|
179,000 minors arrested in 2023, up 6% over the year before.
|
|
And we got just a hint of what I really wanted to know.
|
|
A short spot with a black man who spoke bad French.
|
|
He is the lawyer for one of the killers.
|
|
But come on, tell us the race of the perps.
|
|
I found this promising article from yesterday.
|
|
What's the profile of the suspects?
|
|
Well, one was born in August 2008, the other in May 2007.
|
|
The younger had a record of violent gang robbery, and the elder specialized in theft, violent extortion, and carries a knife.
|
|
They had been ordered not to be in contact with each other.
|
|
Good luck with that.
|
|
They lived in the same housing project.
|
|
But they could have been lineal descendants of Lafayette.
|
|
For all the newspaper knew or cared.
|
|
The latest update from Le Monde, the French paper of record, didn't tell us either.
|
|
But this is the era of citizen journalism.
|
|
It was on X that I finally found a picture of the murdered boy, white and Jewish, and confirmation that the killers are black.
|
|
Of course, every Frenchman with half a brain knows that white people don't carve you up for a cell phone.
|
|
And that nearly every underage thief and drug runner and robber and hitman has immigration origins, as the French delicately put it.
|
|
But mostly, they carve each other up.
|
|
The talking heads were comical in their silence about the victim.
|
|
But he was why this murder was a sensation.
|
|
France would look the other way if Abdul had bled to death.
|
|
It's different if it happens to a nice Jewish boy in a safe neighborhood.
|
|
Of course, the U.S. media are almost as bad about making sure we don't hear about rampaging BIPOCs, what I call the bi-pocalypse.
|
|
But that's changing.
|
|
It's just too easy for citizen journalists and cameramen to show them up for the hypocrites and spin artists that they are.
|
|
Things are changing in France, too.
|
|
Here's a French ex-account called French Lives Matter that promotes the term francicide.
|
|
That's when non-whites, or paper Frenchmen as they're called, kill real French people like the ones in these pictures.
|
|
When Rashida Dati, a former justice minister, moaned on X that this was all so tragic and intolerable, she got an earful.
|
|
Lots of replies along the lines of, who are the killers?
|
|
Dare to describe them.
|
|
What about immigration that is submerging France?
|
|
Start with expulsion of foreign minors.
|
|
Save your tears.
|
|
All you politicians will be swept away, either by a fatal Islamist tidal wave or a brutal conservative revolution.
|
|
We're waiting for a Donald Trump.
|
|
Long live Donald Trump and Elon Musk.
|
|
Keep taking orders from Soros and things won't end well.
|
|
Even Prime Minister François Bayrou.
|
|
Got a slap in the face when he wrote on X. It is excruciating to write about the killing.
|
|
A commenter hit back with, close the borders, stop immigration, expel illegals.
|
|
Another wrote, aren't you ashamed of your inactivity when you see what Trump managed to do in one week?
|
|
There may be nothing our rulers hate more than looking ridiculous.
|
|
X is merciless.
|
|
And big media look like dishonest fools when they hide the facts people care about most.
|
|
There's a new wind blowing.
|
|
All eyes are on Donald Trump.
