French police shoot dead Far Right 'Generation Identity' attacker

[El Generico]

French media reports indicate the man threatened a North African shopkeeper with a weapon before being shot dead by police.

French police shot an armed man dead in the southeastern city of Avignon on Wednesday after he threatened a North African shopkeeper and police officers, local media report.

The incident came amid a spate of attacks on Wednesday targeting both police and the public across France.

Three people were killed in a knife attack in a Nice cathedral which is being investigated as a terrorist attack, while an Afghan man was arrested after stabbing a police officer in Lyon.

Although the attacks in Nice and Lyon have been linked to Islamist extremists, the incident in Avignon has been connected to a far-right group.

The attacker there was a member of Generation Identity, French daily Le Monde reported.

The youth-focused "alt-right" group campaigns against immigration and Islam, and espouses the white supremacist "Great Replacement" conspiracy theory which posits that white Europeans are being "replaced" by non-Europeans through mass migration.

The 33-year-old man had threatened a North African shopkeeper with a handgun, according to left-wing news site Mediapart.

He was wering a blue jacket bearing the logo of Generation Identity, Mediapart said, adding that its report had been confirmed by Avignon prosecutor Phillippe Guemas.

It’s seems like a lot of people lumped(including me) lumped this attack with the one in Nice and were under the impression that both attacks were by religious extremist. The guy was armed, he seems to be part of an organized terror group. Surprised this isn’t getting much coverage.

As expected theres a lot more going on in france than meets the eye

No surprise why its not getting much coverage

In my honest opinion, there is not much difference between hate spreading politicians and religious terrorist recruiters.

Far right politicians and racists employ an identical methodology to religious terrorists. Both sides exploit young and vulnerable minds to do their bidding.

I wish someone did an academic paper on these people's methods' similarities.

Not very long ago France was poisoned Algerians with their nuclear bombs and are continuously supporting bona fide murderer regimes in Africa.

I chuckled when Macron the midget Hitler said "values", "liberty" and "freedom of speech" in his latest bull excrement address to la nation.

Someone remind this dude of France's body count 2019-20 in Africa or only French lives matter?

Well the far right isnt better TBH. Luckily the authorities were prepared enough to prevent any incident. Was this around the same time as the one at Nice?

Those who beheaded were far right or far left?

Neither in this context. Religious extremists dont really have any political leanings in the country where they are in minority.

Has Marcron condemed this?

We dont need to guess why a Far right terrorist would shout Islamic terms.

Glad he was shot dead and nobody was hurt.

Right wing terrorism is rising fast.

Right wing terrorism is rising fast.

Its the most dangerous form. Remember it was right wing facists who caused WW2.

But it seems people arent worried about it as much as any other terrorism or more likely they are in denial as it doesnt fit comfortably in their brainwashed mind.

The title doesn't include 'Islam/Muslim', so the athiests and haters are not interested.

These are the same people who defend the right for a black man to kill a white man because of 300 years of slave history but have a problem when a white man kills a black man. They apply the same logic to religion, Islam is the 'white' bogeyman according to this deluded demographic of facsits liberals.

You are correct to say these fake liberals are dangerous. They hide behind this fake ideology giving them the right to act as extremists. Trump has had 20 odd assination attempts, from liberals yet not a peep of terrorism in the media, apart from the odd one where they feel it was an 'Islamist'.

Far right is growing fast not just in Europe but in other nations such as India, Brazil etc.

The real menace to the world is the far right along with Zionist terrorists. Hindutva would like to do the same but they can only lynch people for beef or kill people they occupy.

America, Europe, and India have one thing in common. Their economies are in decline and austerity is hitting hard and fueling the rise of the right. Democracy will rue its day in these parts of the world. We are seeing it in USA, UK, Europe, and India - democracy has given the right-wing a voice.

However as you say India has a head start, with a nationalist government that openly sponsers and legitimises attacks of Muslims.

It's not really news for those of us who have seen the way things have been gearing up for the last couple of decades, in fact those who can remember the first gulf war might have a chuckle over the Saddam Hussein chucking babies out of incubators in Kuwait pretext for that invasion.

Who else is going to comment on here? The bhindi brigade will have smiled and nodded their heads furiously in approval, and then moved onto a topic which serves their purpose.

I thought we had hundreds of liberals on here?

RSS brigade think far right facists will ask them questions ie. Are you Indian? Who will win the IPL? Want to be my mate? Indians will then hug a skinhead like Modi hugged Macron. They have special powers.

They are extending them selves for the ultimate title of a uncle tom.

No, they understand their worth and will accept being a favoured serf to the king for a few crumbs from the table.

Very glad that no one (aside from the perpetrator, or terrorist) was hurt.

Anyone who thinks that Macron emboldens this behaviour is a lunatic. Marine Le Penn? Sure, a case can certainly be made for her supporting this, but not Macron.

Slightly unrelated, do police carry firearms in France? It seems like the UK is unique in police not generally carrying.

I think the opposite, only a fool wouldnt accept Macron has been spreading hate against Muslims and thus has emboldend the far right. Why do you think the far right terrorist should Islamic terms.

Please dont be an apologist for the far right. Typical of lot of self confessed secular liberals, spend all day ranting about Muslims but like mice when it comes to the far right.

Macron selectively condemning stuff while ignoring the right wing terrorism (stabbing of muslim women and this incident in this thread) does embolden them.

Well done, police.

Alt-Right should be kept under full watch. Some of them are very dangerous.
