Paris Residents Threaten Vigilante Justice Amid Rising Criminality
Breitbart ^ | 1-16-2021 | Chris Tomlinson

Residents of the 17th district of Paris have threatened to take security matters into their own hands if the police and the government refuse to deal with growing criminality.

Locals living in the Square du Tarn, mostly men in their 40s and 50s, say they have formed a collective to fight back against the growing insecurity in their neighbourhood posed by drug dealing and other delinquency.

“We’re all from the neighbourhood. We all know each other. As soon as we see danger, we warn each other on our WhatsApp group Neighbours Alert! We get organised, and we disembark,” one of the members told the newspaper Le Parisien.

“For now, we are in vigilance mode,” one of the men said and added: “We respect the law. But we’re not going to let ourselves be eaten up… We’re going to hit them!” he warned.

If nothing happens, we will apply our own justice. For the moment, we are doing investigations. The group is growing.”

The group has previously worked with police and managed to help get a gang of burglars detained — but a police source claims the thieves were let go after just 24 hours in custody.

Several no-go zones across France have seen similar stories in which residents feel powerless to stop growing criminality and call on the police and government for help.

A report from August of last year revealed that many no-go zones have seen residents band together to form collectives to put pressure on the government to act. Some have even taken local governments to court and won cash settlements after inaction from authorities.

Anarcho-tyranny in France. Is anyone surprised?

If they go vigilante, they probably get arrested, charged, tried, found guilty, imprisoned.

The massive injection of migrants was no doubt a NWO operation to help tear the fabric of nationalism

Doesn’t this exist in certain areas of Paris regarding preaching?

The French are showing more backbone than the residents in our own metropolitan areas.

A reprise of the French Resistance? Manny Macrone may want to consider that.

For their own reasons, politicians of the Left are promoting insanity. From making up new “genders” to erasing both legal and traditional rights, they are systematically dismembering societies around the Western world. Why? I’d say to create chaos from which they expect to gain greater power. Forcing people to find their own justice may be a tactic to further crack down using the organs of society that are supposed to protect the average citizen but are increasingly used by politicians to hobble society. The police raid dinner parties and arrest people for interacting when at the same time criminals are let out of jail because they might become infected. Well, if politician’s intent was to force people to commit crimes, I think they are about to succeed. The people who will be injured are those who enforce the edicts and those who they are enforced upon. The politicians will be safe, all of them breaking their own rules with impunity. It’s good to be the king.

I think the French have been putting up with the lawlessness a lot longer than we have and they're finally getting fed up. We're nowhere near that point yet.

Speak only for yourself.
Many are DONE; NOT taking ANY BS.
Some are prepared to use lethal force.

Get a bag of lime.
Shoot.
Shovel.
Shaddap.

“Government” still is, after all, “We, the People,” right?

‘police source claims the thieves were let go after just 24 hours in custody’

They do the same thing here. Not enough jail space. Vigilantes are not trained in restraint. Instant justice would do more to stop it than any legal system. NY subways were safer after Bernie Goetz administered his own justice.

From the Bureaucratic point of view, it would be easier and less messy for them to arrest the Vigilantes than to deal with the REAL PROBLEM.

This is a universal thingking of all bureaucrats. We just saw it here. After the antifa False Flag Op storming of the Capitol, it was very easy for the Deep Staters to wring their hands at the "terrible mayhem" rather than address the issue of why the huge crowd was in DC - A STOLEN ELECTION! With the help of the criminal "media", that point seems to have been totally forgotten.

The muzzies threatened to burn a thousand churches in France, and the next week or so, the most iconic one was burned down. The cowardly government, not wanting to confront them and have a civil war, blamed it on a careless accident. I wonder how many Frenchmen are actually buying that crap?

Absolutely! The One World people hate nationalism. Why national identity must be stopped!

One guess as to who the government is going to go after.

This will begin to occur in America - again. Our government is currently lawless and too often sides with the criminal under class to suppress the majority of citizens. Reed about the San Francisco Committee of Vigilance formed in the 1850s:
