yeah and this time it's not a muslim but an old white guy so see this thread not gaining nearly as much traction as if the roles were reversed, too
The suspect had already been known by the police to have committed two hate crimes but was allowed to roam free by the authorities to commit more hate crimes. >

He has already been convicted, his lawyer put an appeal, he was released and then he did this while waiting for another trial >

So a Frenchman who committed a saber attack on a migrant camp was allowed to walk free and murder Kurds. >

Very unobjective reporting. They declined to mention in the titles that it was a racially linked act of terrorism. >

Just waiting for Lepen and Zemmour to pretend their rhetoric has absolutely nothing to do with the rise in hate crimes like this one, and for Darmanin to "denounce the far right" after telling Lepen she was "too soft on immigrants". Happy I'm out of france till February so I don't have to partake in the political discourse, it's likely going to be a hellhole. 
Let's just see what BFM and Cnews have to offer this time... >

He shot up a Kurdish cultural centre, we can't catch a break bruh >

This is what starts happening when you let manipulative hate speech fester and gain voice. >

Is this not utterly jarring to French people and Europeans? I am an American and a shooting 8 times a day is "normal" (still infuriating, gut wrenching, and heartbreaking), but I was under the impression that things like this just didn't happen in Europe...is that changing?
Not sure why all the downvotes. Was genuinely curious if gun violence in Europe from a citizen's perspective is on the uptick. >

You forget that France was subject to many terrorist attacks in the last 30 years or so, including shootings. It's rare enough to still be shocking, but not totally unheard of.
