Far-right protesters gather in Paris to call for ‘justice’ after French teenager’s death
France24 ^ | December 2, 2023

Some 200 far-right demonstrators gathered in Paris on Friday night to protest the death of a French teenager who died last month after being stabbed during what appeared to be a brawl that broke out at a village dance. Although the circumstances of the incident remain unclear, the far right has framed it as a symbol of France’s increasingly insecure society amid immigration.

Chanting “Justice for Thomas” and “French people wake up! You’re at home here”, the demonstrators protested against what they called the laxity of the French law, and urged the imprisonment of racailles, or “scum”, which in French often has racial connotations.

Thomas, a rugby-playing high-schooler, died from his wounds on November 19 after being stabbed in the village of Crépol in southeastern France during a brawl that allegedly broke out between some dance attendees and a group that arrived by car at the end of the event. Nine people have been arrested in connection with the killing.

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. The French far right has capitalised on that, with some alleging that the assailants were from an immigrant background.

Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin said he was “horrified” by the demonstration, which follows a series of others that have been held in the wake of Thomas’s death and that have often turned violent. Earlier this week, the minister announced he would seek to ban three ultra-right groups that have been linked to the protests.

The Great Replacement is simple genocide. We need to fight back.

To the European press “far right” means anyone who believes in borders and anyone who wants to live in a society based upon Judeo-Christian principles.

Far right is meaningless. These pigs need a new catchphrase for smearing decent people.

This parallels the situation in Ireland. The press and politicians are all butthurt that people are angry when “migrants” commit all this mayhem. The seem to not care about the mayhem, only the response.

I’m guessing the “far-right extremist” group didn’t have any violence or destruction and probably left the place cleaner than when they started, or it would have been the headline.

Exactly, if you don’t want to be murdered, you are far-right.

” with some alleging that the assailants were from an immigrant background. “
Wouldn’t this be quite easy to know since the attack was two weeks ago? Why is this still just an “allegation”?

The Left is finding that their "Right" is playing the same "protest for justice" game, and they don't like it one bit.

When one plays by the rules of another team and wins, the other team complains....

Ah, we see “far right”. So, we know the source is totally bull****. We also know that that source will never use the phrase “far left”.

France24 is playing word games, to avoid admitting Thomas was murdered by immigrants

Irish authorities & Media are doing the same thing, refusing to admit that the baby-stabber there was Algerian

And then Big Media wonders why people don’t trust them anymore!
