Calais Resident Brandishes Rifle at Migrants As His Little Girl Cowers Inside Their Home
Breitbart ^ | 01/25/16 | Donna Rachel Edmunds

Posted on 01/25/2016 8:23:11 AM PST by Enlightened1

Video footage has emerged of a mob of migrants attacking a French family outside their home in Calais. The mob can be seen hurling objects at the family before one of the men within the house emerges with an air rifle to ward them off. The man was later taken into custody by police, but has been released while the regional prosecutor considers whether to pursue a case against him.

The incident took place on Saturday afternoon during a large protest against borders stages by a range of socialist groups together with migrants from The Jungle migrant camp. According to the No Borders movement, coach loads of protesters "came from all across France, Germany, Belgium, The Netherlands and also a large contingent from the UK."

While the main body of the protest passed down Rue Mollien, a central thoroughfare through Calais, a group of protesters and migrants appears to have broken off and headed down a number of residential side streets.

Here they were filmed confronting a family group who were standing outside their home, which quickly raised tensions between the two parties. Tyres and other detritus are thrown at the family, while in the doorway to the house a little girl of about ten years old can be seen looking terrified. A British socialist can be heard shouting "Nazi scum" at the family.

Eventually one of the men in the household emerges brandishing a rifle which he points at the crowd, before protesters intervene and try to shove him and his relatives back through the front door.

Police later confirmed that the rifle was an airsoft gun rather than a live firearm

Yeah, and guess who’ll be in trouble. Maybe he should upgrade to a paint ball gun so at least the miscreants would be marked for the gendarmes to maybe follow up on.

The man's little girl is terrified by the mob, yet it's the man who is arrested. Pathetic. I wonder if they arrested the little girl as well, for provoking a riot.

Bye, Europe.

The Frenchman will be punished and the crimes of the “migrants” will be ignored.

I remember watching a story about a guy in England getting fed up with home robberies, so what did he do?

He ambushed the thief with his video camera. When the thief saw the camera, the thief chased him down.

I'm a Texan, who lives in Texas. I'm am VERY thankful for that.

Don’t think a mob trying to enter a house here will be fended off with an airsoft Rifle. Maybe the French should arm themselves with bags of pigs blood to throw a them.

An airsoft rifle? Glad I live in red state America. I would have confronted the mob with a bump stock AR-15, a semi-automatic shotgun and a 45 caliber handgun, just in case one jams and to provide cover fire while reloading.

They're considering whether to put the man defending his home under arrest? Because of --- an air rifle?

No border movement are a part of Communist philosophy and is an extension of the idea of no personal property..no boundaries no borders no property... everything on the earth belongs to the “people”. which means it belongs to the mob...it really is a pure jungle philosophy

The saddest thing is - the US Government is complicit in this destruction of EU civilization.

And if that prosecutor wound up dead, then I think the message would be gotten.

Enough of this tyranny.

How many moslems were arrested during this encounter? Sounds like the government is the worse enemy. Perhaps the residents of Calais should be warding off the cops with rifles as well.
