4 killed in shooting at French Jewish school

A gunman opened fire on a Jewish school in southern France Monday, killing four people -- the third shooting in the area in 10 days.

The shooting in the city of Toulouse left a teacher and three children dead, including a 3-year-old, said local prosecutor Michel Valet. A fourth child was injured.

The gunman arrived shortly after 8 a.m. and fled on a motor scooter after the shootings. He is believed to have used two different guns, interior ministry spokesman Pierre-Henry Brandet said.

"It's a horrible tragedy," Brandet said on CNN affiliate BFM.

It's the third shooting by a man on a motorcycle in southwest France since March 11, and authorities suspect the cases may be linked, Brandet said.

"Even if it's too early to say whether or not they are the same weapons, there are similarities," Brandet said, citing the use of a motorcycle and the location of the killings.

Spain imports a lot of their population from South America (just like the US); I don’t think many North Africans speak Spanish anymore. The Moroccans crossing into Spain are probably on their way to France, where more of them would speak the language (and unemployment isn’t 22% yet).

Please note that the same socialism of 70 years ago is alive and well in most synagogues today.

Socialism works fine in small societies where every member willingly accepts the rules. The tragedy of commons strikes when some members start subverting the rules.

As an example, most families live by communist principles: "From each according to his ability, to each according to his need." This is possible only because the society in question is very small; also, it fails in many families - as soon as one member decides that he doesn't want to work and doesn't care about others.

Both shootings (soldiers and Jews) took place deep inside Muslim-majority SW France:

One of my friends from high school studied in France for a year at the University of Strasbourg and during his down time, he toured France Marseilles is full of mooselimbs and that was in 1988/89. His French room-mate at the dorm was so anti-Moslem that he always said, "one in the ocean is pollution, all of them in the ocean is the solution." With all their shenanigans even then and especially today, I cannot blame him at all.

You claim you are a self hating Jew?..... Not too original. I’m not impressed.

Keep in mind that the earlier victims (paratroopers) of this 'scooter-shooter' were mistakenly identified as uniformly muslim. According to this link, they were only half correct:

ABEL is CATHOLIC and FRENCH. The second soldier killed at Montauban is MUSLIM, like that of Toulouse. Loic is the injured LEIBER Guadeloupe and FRENCH CATHOLIC

The three recently murdered soldiers were of North African origin, and a fourth who was injured is from the French Caribbean. Now Jewish people.

Looks more and more like neo-nazis. Sky News here is reporting that three soldiers last year who also come from the barracks the dead soldiers are from were expelled from the French Army because of extreme neo-nazi behaviour, including dressing up in nazi clothes and taking nazi salute photos.
