Justice knows how to move quickly when it wants to. In the case of the murder of Thomas in Crépol, several individuals have just been convicted by our judicial system. But it is not a question of the “young people” who came to the deadly ball, equipped with knives, with the idea of “plant white people” but from French people who were outraged by the silence surrounding this tragedy and who had dared to make it known on social networks.
Nine Internet users were thus punished, Thursday October 31 in Paris, with sentences ranging from a 500 euro fine to four months suspended prison sentence. They were accused of having broadcast “hateful messages”has “racist implication”. Clearly, they were being prosecuted for having relayed the list of suspects on X or Facebook and for having highlighted their foreign origins. The latter had received threatening calls and letters at their home. A trauma such that the prosecutor had requested sentences sometimes going as far as prison against French people whom he did not hesitate to describe as “speech offenders”…
These dangerous “delinquents” had been judged by the 17e chamber of the criminal court as early as last September, during two separate hearings. BV had gone to the first of them. At the stand, we saw Jean-Marie L., 40 years old, head of a small business, guilty of having made irony about the profile of the suspects (“Always the same profiles, Swedes from a good family”), Gaël L., 56 years old, guilty of having republished on the networks a post from the Natifs, an identity association, on “the names of the assassins that the cops have decided to hide from you”or even Marylène P., a 53-year-old housewife, also guilty of having relayed the banned list. “When people are called Marcel or Richard, we give their first names. When the name is oriental, we don't give it. (…) By being stabbed on all sides, you have to defend yourself”Jean-Marie had tried to explain. In vain.
Weak with the strong, strong with the weak
During this hearing, the defense lawyers were surprised that there was no question about the guilt, real or not, of the individuals mentioned by the accused. Because, while the “speech offenders” are judged unceremoniously, the blood criminals take it easy. We don't know who carried out the blow. Several young people suspected of having taken part in the attack on the Crépol ball have already been released. While justice is pursuing unfortunate Internet users for “public insult due to origin”this same judicial system refuses to consider the racist nature of Thomas' murder.
This astonishing double standard was evident in the first days following the tragedy. On November 25, 2023, a few dozen young French people went to Romans-sur-Isère in support of Thomas. They had been received there by hostile gangs who had brutally beaten them. But as the press had described them as horrible members of “the ultra-right” came to a city in order to commit a « ratooned »it was they who had been pursued, and not their attackers. Two short days after the events, six of them were sentenced to prison terms. Tried in immediate appearance at the Valencia court, these men aged 18 to 25 had suffered the wrath of exceptionally rapid and severe justice. “For the moment, the priority of our justice was therefore to judge, not the murderers of Thomas, but the demonstrators who were outraged by this murder”rightly noted the lawyer Alexandre Humbert Dupalais, in the columns of Figaro.
Good and bad victims
A year earlier, it was the marches in tribute to little Lola that had been demonized. Outraged by one of these peaceful demonstrations, the EELV mayor of Lyon, Grégory Doucet, called on Emmanuel Macron to stem “the scourge of the extreme right”. BFMTV saw a gathering of “white supremacists, nationalists, neo-Nazis”. “Aren’t you ashamed?” »Léa Salamé had also asked Marion Maréchal, live on France Inter, accusing her of having organized a demonstration in memory of the little girl.
Remember also, very recently, the Philippine affair. A minute of silence in his tribute in Vienna was interrupted by far-left activists shouting « We are all anti-fascists ». For her part, Anne Hidalgo said to herself “frozen” by the posters paying tribute to the young girl…
Thomas, Lola, Philippine and so many others represent the nightmare of the left. By their death, they shatter the dogma of blessed diversity, the myth of immigration “luck for France”. This is why a certain political-media system is redoubling its efforts to condemn and censor. For him, it is about making the victims of living together invisible.
