France’s Justice Minister Gerald Darmanin on Sunday accused far left extremist politicians’ rhetoric of having amped up the Antifa libs who savagely beat a 23 year-old far right extremist in the city of Lyon on Thursday under circumstances the AFP reports that local prosecutors haven’t fully revealed.
What is known is that far left France Unbowed (LFI) Euro Parliament MEP Rima Hassan was making an appearance and the victim, identified only as “Quentin” was there to provide security for right wingers protesting Hassan’s presence at the Sciences Po University in the city. According to an attorney for Quentin’s family, the man was quickly surrounded and thrashed by the “organized and trained individuals, vastly superior in number and armed, some with their faces masked.”
Quentin, an associate of the right wing “Nemesis Collective,” succumbed to his wounds on Saturday, leading Darmanin to decry “speeches, particularly from France Unbowed and the ultra-left, which unfortunately lead to unbridled violence on social networks and then in the physical world.”
“Words can kill,” Darmanin, seen as the among the most conservative members of President Emmanuel Macron’s centrist cabinet continued living Pam Bondi’s wet dream of an actually violent episode of Antifa violence against a right winger instead of having to blame the victims.
