For some reason there is little information about this massacre and most articles focus on the surrounding discussion among the far-right

German newspaper FAZ (conservative-liberal) has more info (in German): https://m.faz.net/aktuell/politik/ausland/drama-von-crepol-dorffest-in-frankreich-ueberfallen-19329807.html

* Assailants are claimed to have been youth from local social housing

* They attacked with long kitchen knives, no clear aim beyond maximizing damage

* One witness claims someone yelled that they came to “stab white people”

No further info on background of both assailants and victims and their relationship (if any)

  1. We know who they are : 2nd generation algerians, 20 yo on average , police caught some of them .
    The motive is white hate, the cause is impunity.

  2. TIL. Marion Marechal, niece of Marine Len, is heading another far-right party.

  3. To repeat and paraphrase the Interior Minister earlier this year regarding the riots and attempted assassination:

    “Could be immigrants. Could also be Kevin or Matteo.”

    As it turns out it wasn’t “Kevin or Matteo” and Kevin and Matteo don’t live in “disadvantaged suburbs.”

  4. Shhh, don’t talk about the attack until they can somehow make it the fault of white people.

  5. It’s legitimately funny how a lot of Europeans are more concerned with stopping the rise of the far right than a tually solving the issues driving the rise of the far right.

  6. ‘For some reason’. That can of worms is opening, slowly but surely.

  7. Terrorist stabbings are part and parcel of living in rural France

  8. They’ll bury the news rather than face up to the issue and let our kids and grandkids be stuck in a race war. Pushing the can down the road and trying to put out all the fires wont work. If the extremists see government and media being weak then they will continue to act out their sick fantasies and continue to try and intimidate to get what they want. Politicians and leaders are cowards imo. If we act hard now and remove the nut jobs then we can have a multi cultural Europe but you don’t get to that point by sticking your fingers in your ears and whistling Kumbaya.

  9. I hope you guys don’t fall into the racist pitfalls of the far right. The guy who went on a stabbing spree indeed might have been an anti-white third-worlder, but that’s just a perk you have to put up with on a large festival. Don’t let it distract you from the actual issues we must face everyday like the rise of white supremacy /s

  11. Wonder if all the people clamouring *but you can’t deport them, they’re citizens* realize that’s pretty fuckin dumb as laws like that can be changed under a non-Euro hating government, especially laws brought on by the rich to fuck over natives who enjoyed a decent standard of living once upon a time.

  12. I often wondered, how did Nazis rise to power? How did Hitler got the support of German people? Now I think I start to understand and it’s horrifying to see history rhyme again as people start to turn to far right since their own governments refuse to even talk openly about the problem.

  14. If you want to take the wind out of the far-right’s sails, all you need to do is to publicly announce the ethnicity of the perpetrators.

    The only reason to conceal that information is if that information actually supports what the far right are saying.

  15. The guy killed did not look white though. He looked North African / Moddle Eastern

  16. You all want to stop the far right movement in Europe but first of all you have to ask yourself what is fueling that far right in the first place?

    We have entered dangerous waters and if European Council doesn’t act accordingly, we will soon face crisis in the EU.

  17. It should be relatively obvious how this works.
    Whenever there is a tragedy… no one can truly say all the millions of random motives. There
    Bajillions of un-identifiable economic,
    Social, cultural, blah blah issues.
    but we can certainly say that anyone pointing to simple reasons is an uber evil nazi.
    Besides,
    It’s the Uber evil nazi Christian white supremacist conservative patriots that oppressed the teen/youth/underprivileged into committing such unfortunate things.
    Pray for the nation to understand the hardships of the supposed perpetrators and ensure the “victims” families make endless calls for love and tolerance.
