French people raised half a million. Half a fucking million for the family of the cop who murdered Nahel Merzouk, an Algerian boy.

Well we don’t know the value of an Algerian life in France but we sure now know the reward for killing one.

To all the French people who say France is not racist fuck you. To all the Europeans who pretend to be so much better than the US a huge fuck you. To all the people getting a hard on over France fuck you. To all the people who even think about mentioning how destroying public property is bad fuck you. Fuck everyone who is not revolted by what happened.

i've been listening to the way of kings and just got to the honor chasm scene, and it strikes me that when syl tells kaladin that if the bridgemen are all dead already, one more try can't hurt, there's a good chance that's her own experience speaking, though she doesn't remember it.

all spren who form a nahel bond are doing so in the knowledge that their knight is eventually going to die on them; being radiant doesn't make you immortal. and specifically for syl, she's still recovering from the grief of losing her first radiant; she knows well that radiants die. moreover, with honor dead, the heralds abdicated, and the radiant orders having abandoned their oaths, the chances of humanity fighting off the desolation were absurdly low.

so in that context, her attention is drawn to kaladin, who, by many measures, is already doomed. and she decided to try again. just one more time.

kind of getting emotional about Pattern right now. he knew Shallan would probably end up killing him. he knew. he was there when Testament died, and yet he still bonded her. he was so invested in learning about humans and finding a way to save his people that he chose to go on what he believed was a suicide mission because he thought the knowledge he’d gain would protect them. i know he’s a Cryptic, but he is Honorspren to me

Rundown of the current protests, rioting and state crackdown that have erupted in France over the police murder of a 17 year old brown boy.

I've seen way too many Europeans on here insisting ACAB is just a USAmerican thing. It's really important y'all know that it isn't. Cops as an institution is fundamentally fascist, and in the Global North, white supremacist.

Graffiti in memory of 17-year-old Nahel M, who was murdered by police on June 27, 2023 in the western Parisian suburb of Nanterre, sparking a weeks-long rebellion in cities across France.

My Advice for France

If any of the rioters arrested during the protests are in France illegally, they should be immediately deported.

Those individuals can go back and burn and loot their own country.

[the-bibrarian]

Violent protests are happening again in France, this time after police shot 17 year-old Nahel point blank inside of his car and killed him, on June 27. Every night since then there’s been fires and violence and looting across cities.

Nahel was french from an Algerian-Moroccan family, the last in a long list of police violence directed against minorities in France.

The government answer has been maddeningly insufficient and the police is stoking the flames by treating the protests like a violent insurrection instead of the legitimate expression of anger they are.

[saviourfinn]

Paris and its banlieues are burning right kow. The police killed yet another person, this time a 17 years old kid. Shot him at very close range, after yelling that they "will put a bullet in his head". Lied about what happened, claiming it was self defense, only for a video filmed by a passerby to be released, video showing that the cops were not at all in danger and executed the kid in cold blood. As you can guess the kid is not white.

This is the 3rd night in a row of fire, burning barricades and firing mortars at cops and city halls.

Police have been hunting and killing poor young men of color in the banlieue for DECADES. They've been killing teenagers, kids. And then lying about them so they would be talked about as criminals instead of victims.

Justice pour Nahel.

Why is no one talking about the riots and protests over the murder of 17-year-old Nahel by police in France?

This boy was only 17 years old, shot in the chest in the driver's seat by cops. People seem to think there isn't racism in France but there is. We all need to be talking about this. Nahel should not be forgotten.

The French government is attacking their own citizens with 40,000 police officers (yes, 40k cops) to quell the unrest. 5,000 cops are being sent to Paris alone.

The French government needs to realize that there wouldn't be riots if you didn't allow cops to and protect cops who kill unarmed, non-threatening, peaceful civilians, ESPECIALLY CHILDREN. French citizens won't let their government get away with this. Neither should the rest of the world.

If we all join forces to condemn this horrible tragedy, all across the world, maybe less young POC people will be murdered in cold blood by police officers. Maybe the French government WON'T sanction murder of their citizens for exercising the basic human right of free speech and protest. Maybe, one day, cops will have stricter standards and punishments. Maybe, in the future, there won't be cops at all, and no one would die by their hand. But we HAVE to work together to ever see that happen.

Blow it up. Blaze it if you want to. Find every post about this murder that you can and FORCE the media to notice.

Nahel's mother is organizing the protesting and has been photographed speaking and acting out for her son. We should also support her, because not enough parents would do this for their murdered child/ren. I know mine wouldn't. But she is, and she deserves to be recognized and supported.

Don't let children be murdered in vain, without notice, without awareness, without action. If we will not avenge our next generation, they won't be here to avenge anyone else. Don't let them die, especially not like this.

I don't know how to start a GoFundMe but if anyone did and wanted to, this would be a great place and cause for funds to go to.

Make the French government quake in their boots. Make them terrified of their own people. Make the government pale at the reality that is facing them; they will lose everything, all of their power, all of their money, if they do not get their shit together and protect their goddamn people.

This CNN article is horrifically boot-licking, however it is the most comprehensive reporting I have found in English, and my French is unfortunately nonexistent.

Don't buy into the copaganda. These fuckers are murderers, plain, cold, and simple.

Fuck the French police.

Fuck ALL police.

honestly nobody is doing the nahel bond like whatever hoid and design have got going on

[sissa-arrows]

Coming back on tumblr to say that if you are French and don’t support the protest currently happening in France and if you are more concerned by the breaking of public property and burning of cars than by the death of Nahel, a 17 years French Algerian, you are part of the problem. You are one of the reasons France feels like they have the right to kill our Black and North African little brothers without consequences.

Also to all the people of color who are outside of France supporting us thank you. I know you have good intentions. That being said please stop calling those riot French culture. This is not « French culture » this is children and young adult being fed up by the racism that is part of French culture at this point and the racism that they keep denying. No white people are not massively protesting with our brothers. The people you confuse with white people on the videos are more often than not North Africans and I can assure you that the police and white French people do not confuse us with white people.

[lheautontimoroumenos]

gonna try to keep this quick (sorry i did my best but it's still pretty long), but i feel like people are not aware enough, even in France.

so last week, a 17y old boy was killed in Nanterre (what we call the "banlieue", so in periphery of Paris) by a cop. they made him stop on the side of the road and threatened him violently asking him to open the door. on the video, we can see the cop duo at the driver side window. one of them has his gun drawn to the boy's head. the other one says "shoote le" (shoot him) and the cop with his gun drawn says "jvais te mettre une balle dans la tête" (im gonna put a bullet in your head). the boy whose name is Nahel is logically scared so he speeds away. the cop shoots him in the car, bullet in the thorax and the car hits a wall. Nahel is dead and the video is quickly relayed on twitter to mass outrage.

most left leaning people condemn this and ask for justice, but the media keeps asking them to ask for calm and order (which some do, looking at Roussel) but some don't, which alienates them in the political landscape (the favorite word of the right rn is islamogauchiste aka islamiclefty).

but the right, god the right. first they said Nahel deserved it because he was driving without a license. then it was saying he was a criminal that had already been convicted (the cops leaked a fake criminal record). so not a criminal, but he was an Arab so he would've become one, right? and he should've just obeyed the cops and he would have been ok, that's the behavior of a criminal. I think you get the gist, fascist and fascist adjacent justifications for a cop murdering a boy.

since then, there have been riots in Nanterre and all around France, and the State, Macron (President) and Darmanin (Interior Minister) have sent cops galore. Now, the last time something like this happened was in 2005, when we had less social media and the only pictures and videos we had were from the media (opposed to the riots). Today with Snapchat and Twitter, we can see the pov of the rioters and people are realizing that amidst the anger people feel, they find joy in community, and the vibes in the riots are good and joyful at times (a guy asking another guy to go take a yop for him in the market they're breaking and stealing from comes to mind). They can't say just as easily that they're angry and irrational animal because they see the humanity in the riots (they shouldn't need it but well).

now there is a debate amongst both the rioters and the left who stays mostly outside of it. Are they being useful? breaking and burning the right things? should they go to Paris and take the risk of fighting against cops in streets that they don't know as well as their own? factually, they are mostly burning cars, trash and big companies' shops. But people are choosing to only see the rare schools and libraries being burned downed (who were, for a lot of them already falling down because the State doesn't give money to the periphery). Now, it seems logical to say that burning down your middle school is not going to help against police violence. But it feels like the same people who praise the revolution any chance they get refuse to understand that it comes at a price, with violence and at least a bit of destruction. And the right is using this to discredit the whole movement.

back to fascists. First, the cop "unions" Alliance and UNSA Police published a press release calling the rioters (so mostly Arab and Black people, but also poor white people living in the periphery) "nuisibles" (pest, the word used for animals harming the ecosystem). They wrote that the cops will resist, that they are at war, that they will bring order back. In short they want to kill POC. And they have help. Fascists groups have taken advantage of the situation to walk around blocks during the day and beating up people with bats and at night to illegally arrest rioters before tying them down with zip ties and giving them over to cops. and these people arrested who are sometimes barely older than 18 end up with 18 months of jail for burning trashcans and 10 months for stealing a can of Monster (and those are not suspended sentences).

and while these people end up in jail (thus making it more likely that they will end up with shitty jobs and shitty pensions), Jean Messiha (far-right guy) created a gofundme for the cop and his family that has already gathered more than 1.5 million euros. A cop kills a child and wins the million.

so is it violent? yes of course it couldn't be otherwise. but violence is sometimes necessary, especially when you have to fight back against cops, their fascist friends and the State that allows them to keep existing. The rioters deserve full support, even if the criticism of some of their actions should exist. The danger is for this criticism to overcome our support. It shouldn't. Because if they are alone like they were in 2005, the right and the far-right will take advantage of the situation. Last time Sarkozy was elected and the risk is greater this time, with Les Républicains (the republicans) being basically dead and leaving their spot to Marine Le Pen's fascist party Rassemblement National (national gathering).

so if you're french, don't let the people around you talk shit about the situation. and if you're not, be careful still, fascism is rising and they're not as scared as they were 20 years ago.

I appreciate that the recent revelation that BAM's binding messed up nahel divorce means that Kal's WoR crisis of conscience Wouldn't Have Killed Syl if it happened 2000-7000 years ago. It wasnt supposed to be like that; he could have disagreed with Syl's concept of honor without killing her in the process. Getting it wrong or "wrong" Shouldn't have been so unthinkably disastrous. Objective right and wrong died in the Cosmere when God was split into competing perspectives + thats why I like it here

Since no one else was gonna do it. They've also been at it for 5 days already and Macron cancelled his trip to Germany because of it.
