A driver “shouting Allahu Akbar” has ploughed his car into a crowd of pedestrians on a French holiday island.

The male driver rammed into pedestrians and cyclists on Ile d’Oléron, off the Atlantic Coast, on Wednesday morning shortly before 9am local time, Laurent Nunez, France’s interior minister, said.

Five people were hit during the “35-minute rampage”, said Mr Nunez.

Two were seriously injured, including a 22-year-old woman suffering multiple trauma injuries, and three others sustained minor injuries, he added.

The suspect, a 35-year-old man from the island, has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder and an investigation has been opened, Mr Nunez added.

At the time of his arrest, the suspect “shouted Allah Akbar”, Arnaud Laraize, public prosecutor in La Rochelle, said.

However, the motive has not been confirmed and the investigation will have to determine this,” he continued.

Mr Laraize added that the suspect resisted arrest and was “subdued with a stun gun”.

They say because of the number of French deaths in WW1 & WW2 the French people lost about an inch to an inch and a half in average height and apparently 20, 30 points of IQ.

“Police baffled as to a motive.”

This is a very good reason for a “yellow vest” protest.

That’s what they are raised to do, commit pointless, lethal violence against anyone not Muslim.

Why did you attack the target?
“Because it was there.”

The fact the “authorities” can’t figure out the motive leaves only a few possibilities:

1. They’re chicken
2. They want this to terrorize the peasants
3. They’re completely immersed in the multicultural cult

Fascinating and frightening how an event can evaluated and judged by Right and Left.

1. Motive was expressly stated, it was yet another muzzie terrorist, and he should have been shot. This has happened enough to recognize a pattern and take action to stop it.

2. It’s a big mystery what occurred here, certainly can’t rule out a mechanical problem with the vehicle. He came from a marginalized group, and it would be wrong to judge him. We need to know why those people were in the street, how they may have triggered the driver due to their unconscious biases and historical privilege. Thankfully was only tased, we should all start wearing those scarf-thingys and burqas in solidarity with him.

I am, of course, viewpoint 1. This isn’t complicated.

The top questions apply:

For example, how many “mohammeds” will be in his name?

Looks to be a couple of miles off shore, with a bridge to the mainland. Between Bordeaux and La Rochelle.

This guy may live on the island, but he is definitely NOT a Nouvelle-Aquitanian person.
