‘The far right drummed up a militia’: French extremists seize on teen’s murder to stoke violence
France 24 ^ | 11 28 2023 | Louise NORDSTROM

It all started with the tragic death of a teenage boy attending a village dance in southern France. Although the circumstances surrounding his death remain unclear, members of France’s ultra-right immediately blamed it on “anti-French” sentiment, descending on the region en masse to avenge his death.

Witnesses described a rare and frightening scene: A hundred or so ultra-right activists, many of them armed and masked, gathered in the small town of Romans-sur-Isère on Saturday to avenge the death of 16-year-old Thomas. The rugby-playing high-schooler died from his wounds on November 19 after being stabbed in the nearby village of Crépol during a brawl that allegedly broke out between some dance attendees and a group that arrived by car at the end of the dance. Nine people have been arrested in connection with the killing.

One France expert warned of the ultra-right’s growing capacity to organise and sow discord based on the flimsiest of evidence.

Although the regional prosecutor, Laurent de Caigny, has said the fight does not appear to have been a premeditated attack based on “race, ethnicity, nationality or religion”, nine out of 104 witnesses said they heard hostile comments about “White people” during the fight.

These reports enraged France’s far right, prompting National Rally leader Marine Le Pen to brand it as an “organised attack” and her niece, far-right politician Marion Maréchal, to denounce it as “anti-White racism”.

The French media are blaming protests on the "ultra right" after Arabs went to the village of Crepol and went on a stabbing spree. A 16 year old boy named Thomas was stabbed and died.

The French media are now blaming the violence on 'ultra right' extremists.

Kinda like blaming a fire company for responding to a fire.

Won’t surprise many observers to see an echo of the french revolution at this juncture of history.

Yes, you can’t start having the French protect themselves from all the murderous muslims that have been mass imported into the country by the French leaders. Just be docile and let the jihadis cut your throats.

if it was a black kid who died in the stabbing and BLM/Antifa were on the hunt, the media would be cheering them on

Ah, saw the magic words “far right” and “ultra right”.
So, the only conclusion is the article’s reasoning is total bullsheeite.

“Ah, saw the magic words “far right” and “ultra right”.”

The missing magic words are “assault rifle”.

Mark Steyn had a very excellent article about the stabbings. His take was a bit different, being an honest one.

I believe his article was linked here.

Time for a little list of the media to be taken. The French did this during the Occupation and the collaborators were not happy when the bill came due.
