23-year-old French nationalist who suffered head injuries after Antifa thugs beat him has now died. The man, identified as Quentin, was reportedly part of an informal security group defending a protest outside a political conference near Sciences Po in Lyon. The group was defending members of Collectif Némésis, a right-wing pro-women organization.

Quentin was attacked while attempting to protect the group amid confrontations with members from an “anti-fascist” group known as Jeune Garde.

According to the French outlet BFMTV, police said tensions began around 6:40 pm when opposing groups gathered. Roughly 50 people were involved in the altercation, and two individuals were injured, including Quentin, who suffered a severe head injury. Emergency services treated him at the scene before taking him to the hospital in critical condition. The outlet, citing a source, said he sustained a significant head hematoma. Prosecutors said that an investigation was immediately opened.

All the while calling others nazis and they themselves act like the brownshirts.

Did they at least arrest, charge, and jail any Antifa goons with murder?

Also, be aware that when the Left “protests,” it’s a full-contact blood-sport for them. Never forget this. Protect yourself if you stand your ground before them.

Yes. Because they were never 'for' womens' rights of anything else. They're only "anti" toward the western world and capitalism, and will shift with the winds toward whatever helps them with that goal.

And don't forget that a significant percentage of 'Antifa' are just ne'er-do-well anarchist types happy to adopt any particular cause as long as they can use it as an apparent 'justification' (read as: "excuse") for violence and vandalism.

Regarding the latter note, they're the most useful of the far-left's "useful idiots": those willing to use violence and forfeit their own futures.

No doubt that the Euro Weenies are funding all kinds of nonprofits and NGOs that directly supports Antifa.
