This week, let's travel in the madness of the present time through two “
racialized feminicides
”, to speak the newspeak so dear to our conformist media.
And let's write what few dream or dare to write.
To discover
Michel Houellebecq: "A civilization which legalizes euthanasia loses all rights to respect"
Stéphanie was murdered because she was a police officer and French by Jamel because he was a Tunisian Islamist.
Sarah Halimi was tortured and then defenestrated by Kobili Traoré because she was Jewish and he is Islamist and anti-Semitic.
Let's start with Stéphanie.
She is the new martyr of the police or the army, she whose first name we will soon forget as they are so numerous and piled up without a memorial.
So let's remember them by going back in time and also remembering the names of their executioners:
Paris January 7, 2015, the Kouachi brothers assassinate the police officer Amet Merabet;
Paris, January 8, 2015, Coulibaly assassinates policewoman Clarissa Jean-Philippe;
Magnanville, June 13, 2016, Abdallah Larossi massacres the two police officers Baptiste Salvaing and Jessica Schneider;
Paris, February 3, 2017, Carroussel du Louvre, an Egyptian shouting “
Allah Akhbar
” and armed with a machete attacks four soldiers;
Orly, March 18, 2017, Ziyad Ben Belkacem shoots policemen in the name of Allah;
Paris, April 20, 2017, Champs-Élysées: Karim Cheurfi lodges two bullets in the head of Xavier Jugelé;
Notre-Dame de Paris, June 6, 2017: Farid Ikken attacks three police officers with a knife, shouting: "
It's for Syria!"
";
Trèbes, March 23, 2018: Radouane Lakdim, file S, assassinates Arnauld Beltrame;
Paris Police Prefecture, October 3, 2019: Michael Harpon, a converted and radicalized Muslim, stabs three police officers to death;
Colombes, April 27, 2020: Youssef T. rushes with his car on three police officers and seriously injures them;
And finally Stéphanie.
And still this same madness.
And dare to say why.
First by the specificity of his attacker.
Jamel, Tunisian entered irregularly on French territory and then regularized.
The very concept of the possible regularization of an individual who entered the national territory irregularly shows the suicidal weakness of a derelict nation-state.
When we accept without saying a word and even less allowing an illegal immigrant to show himself publicly with impunity, it means that he is no longer underground and that there is no longer any real police force.
The turn of the 80s will undoubtedly have marked the descent to the abyss.
By the occupation of churches by irregulars and their allies and never of mosques.
By their demonstrations in broad daylight in the streets of French cities.
When we accept without saying a word and even less allowing an illegal immigrant to show himself publicly with impunity, it means that he is no longer underground and that there is no longer any real police force.
And now the public force is forced to seize hold of itself to protect itself from furious hatred.
Fear, it seems, had to change sides.
Another psychological strangeness: the media way in which we treat Stéphanie's executioner.
Part of the French press concealed the sympathies he was showing on social networks.
Who for Jean-Luc Mélenchon.
Who for BDS
(note: Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) is a campaign aimed at boycotting Israel)
.
Beyond this delicacy she was undoubtedly right not to draw any consequences.
If Hitler loves Mozart, that certainly does not make Mozart an anti-Semite.
The same press had unfortunately not acted so delicately when it reproached Renaud Camus or Eric Zemmour for a way of moral responsibility because they had had the misfortune of not displeasing a New Zealand terrorist from Christchurch.
It is in this difference in treatment that the madness of the present time dwells.
If we are to believe the professional anti-racists with selective scruples, the politicians who in the aftermath of an assassination committed by a regularized irregular migrant put the migration issue back on the table would be in the “
recovery
”.
On the other hand, when the Georges Floyd affair crosses the Atlantic to attack the systemic racism that would reign in the French police, there would obviously be neither instrumentalisation nor mad exaggeration.
As usual, the majority of the French press was not stingy either with its questions about Jamel's mental state.
According to his father, he was not in the best of shape.
Anders Breivik, the Norwegian terrorist and his New Zealand counterpart were not models of balance and weight.
This did not prevent the moral condemnations of the media planet, by avoiding psychiatric questions.
Contrary to what has been indicated, including by the highest judicial authorities, the French justice could perfectly well, in the current state of its positive law rule otherwise, even if it would have noted a total abolition of the discernment of the murderer Traoré who is contested.
And since we are in the registers of the opportune instrumentalization of madness, we cannot but address the Sarah Halimi affair.
The author of this article cannot claim complete objectivity, the reader knowing that he was involved in the court case as the lawyer for the victim's sister. Also, he will refrain from commenting on it at length. He will recall that he will cross the file, with his colleague Szpiner, the Mediterranean, literally in desperation, for the purposes of seeing the Israeli justice, competent outside its borders when a Jew is assassinated as a Jew, repair this which they regard as a denial of justice.
However, I will content myself here with denying a legal untruth that I read this week and that I cannot conceal. Contrary to what has been indicated, including by the highest judicial authorities, the French justice could perfectly well, in the current state of its positive law rule otherwise, even if it would have noted a total abolition of the discernment of the murderer Traoré who is contested. I bring to the public knowledge that by a judgment of the Court of Appeal of Versailles of February 13, 2018 - confirmed by the Court of Cassation - the Investigation Chamber of this Court, exactly under the same conditions of fact and law that in the Traoré case, ruled that: "
The significant consumption of narcotics should not be analyzed as a cause of abolition of discernment but on the contrary as an aggravating circumstance
”.
And the commentator of the judgment to observe: “
It was therefore a decision contrary to that of the Paris investigative chamber since on the same theoretical basis (three expertises including two concluding in the abolition of the discernment) the second degree investigating court had chosen to send the indicted person back to the Assize Court
”.
But let's leave sharp law to come back to societal psychology.
Let us dare a bold hypothesis: that a Traoré was tortured with cries of "
dirty black!"
»Before being defenestrated by a Martin having abused the Martini to the point of turning it into a crisis of
delirium tremens
.
Can we imagine that the reaction of the suburbs would have been less stiff than that of the French Jewish community?
By analogy, I recall that part of the American and French media described Minneapolis relieved to see Derek Chauvin condemned in the George Floyd affair.
Otherwise the city would have burned ...
Without making an outrageous trial of intent against the French judges, can we not imagine that they would perhaps have prudently avoided a judgment similar to the decision concerning Sarah Halimi?
To drive the nail more deeply into the judicial cross, I would recall that in another much more questionable case, this time concerning Adama Traoré, a Keeper of the Seals considered without any other form of trial than the prohibited demonstration on the court forecourt for health reasons. should nevertheless be authorized "
because of the emotion
".
When emotion and anger are more effective tools than reason and wisdom our system has gone mad.
