Five youths detained after a Jewish teenager was beaten into a coma by a gang in Paris have been released without charge, AFP reported Wednesday quoting judicial officials.
The minors, aged 14 to 17, were held for questioning as witnesses following the attack this past Shabbos in the multi-ethnic 19th district of the capital - reported HERE on YWN.
The Paris prosecutor Jean-Claude Marin said Tuesday the 17-year-old victim, Rudy Haddad, was beaten by a gang after street brawls between Jewish teenagers and youths of north African and sub-Saharan descent.
The boy was so badly beaten by a gang wielding metal bars that he went into a coma from which he only emerged on Monday.
According an informed source, he is slowly recovering but remains “very traumatized” and is encountering memory problems.
A probe for “murder attempt aggravated by its anti-Semitic character” has been launched against the perpetrators, a group of six or seven youths of black African origin, who remain at large.
The prosecutor has confirmed the anti-Semitic character of the aggression and said anti-Semitic insults – like “dirty Jew” - were shouted during the aggression.
Sources quoted in the press reported that several brawls broke out in the area Saturday afternoon between Jewish and North Africans and black youth groups and that Haddad was attacked later on the day when he was walking alone in Rue Petit, near a Lubavitch Shul.
Paris has been dangerous for Jews for a long time and it's a gutsy move to walk around in public with a kippah (yarmulke, Hugh) on.
Taking a lenient approach to mob violence begets organized mob violence.
Wasn't Libya's Qaddaffi saying just the other day that Barack Hussein Obama should embrace and be proud of his African muslim identity? Yeah, that's a plan...

Why not let the North Africans out, after all they won't do it again. And this doesn't send a message.
From the country that convinced Theodor Herzl that Europe wasn't safe for Jews, leading to the founding of the Zionist movement.
The "palaeos" must be happy.
Warning! This is a high-volume ping list.
Wow. Holocaust memorials are banned in Britain and you can beat Jews almost to death in Paris and walk.You can almost beat anybody to death in france and walk. I had a friend who flipped off some africans who had their car in the middle of a crosswalk in Paris. They only stopped beating him when his girlfriend begged them to stop.The "palaeos" must be happy.
Nothing happened to them. Then again, given the anarchy in American cities these days I doubt it's that much different here unless you kill someone.
Just love the use of the passive voice: street brawls “broke out”
The cycle of violence resumed.
Fighting erupted.
Things happen, I guess.
After Barak Hussein Obama is selected, he will begin negotiations with the Muslims and the French authorities. These disaffected youths of France need more opportunity. And they need better outlets for their youthful energies.
I wouldn't be surprised if the youthful and charismatic future president were to suggest 24-hour illuminated Petanque parks, with proper bathing facilities for pre-prayer ablutions.
“youths of north African and sub-Saharan descent”
Translation: Muslims.
And I’m sure the “brawls” meant the Jewish kids refused to hold still while the Muslim kids beat the tar out of them.
“Barak Hussein Obama”
Born to a Muslim, educated in madrassas; please don’t tell me he isn’t a muslim. We don’t know that. We do know he hangs around with radical hate america ass holes though.
K-e-e-p-y-o-u-r-p-o-w-d-e-r dry.
Islamics demonstrating their tolerance and love.
The message from the French government is clear: they will bend over backward not to make the muslims feel bad. If this kid had pulled out a knife or a gun to defend himself, imagine how long he would be in prison.
I had to re-read it to note that this happened on Shabbos, the day that these Jews MUST walk through the town because they cannot ride in a vehicle.
If this keeps happening, the rabbis need to rule that there must be a safer way to get to shul. Remember, we are to LIVE by the commandments, not die by them.
What was Sarko’s reaction to this?
Yeah. I'm sure the Jewish teenagers seek out a lot of brawls--and that's what this sentence implies.
I think the attack was motzei Shabbos, when he was walking home from shul. But I’m surprised he was walking around with a kippah on.
I haven’t heard of any response from Sarkozy. And I haven’t gotten the low down from friends in France yet.
Maybe I misunderstood ...
Just had a thought ... if he's a Lubavitche he may even have peyos .. not long peyos but there nevertheless ..
Again, this is predicated on where he holds ..
I read he was near a Lubavitch shul but I don’t know if he’s Lubavitch. Some guys wear baseball caps or some other kind of hat so their head is covered but not as obvious as a kippah by itself.
true ... this area, the 17e, includes Montmartre and Sacre Coeur. It’s the schmatte district ... cosmopolitan area ... lots of black hats and kippot walking around.
Ah North-Africans, so Algerians or Moroccans. France is becoming a dhimmi state and those groups are the new masters. I hope the Jews left in France will leave now like a lot of them did before.
They are in need of ‘yirah” lessons. Fight chaya with chaya..
“youths of north African and sub-Saharan descent”
Repeat after me — MUSLIMS.
There that wasn’t so hard.
