TV cameraman attacked while filming outside mosque in northern France

More peace from the religion of peace. Perhaps if we sing another stanza of kumbaya…………

It’s ironic, of course, because members of the media are sharia compliant. They have long scrubbed, censored and whitewashed jihad and sharia from their news coverage. No ‘good’ deed blah, blah, blah.

TV cameraman attacked while filming outside mosque in northern France
France

Reporters Without Borders, June 6, 2019:

Reporters Without Borders (RSF) condemns the violent attack that a member of a mosque in northern France’s Normandy region carried out against a France 3 TV cameraman to prevent him from shooting background footage outside for a report about the mosque’s imam, who was on trial.

The attack took place on 3 June in Petit-Couronne, a small town near the city of Rouen. After a violent altercation in front of the mosque, the assailant dragged the cameraman inside and kept him there by force until the police rescued him. In the course of the fight, the journalist’s camera was damaged and he lost his press badge, which was picked up and photographed by another man.

“We strongly condemn this unacceptable act of violence at a time of widespread mistrust of journalists, who are often targeted while just doing their job to report the news,” said Pauline Adès-Mével, the head of RSF’s European Union and Balkans desk.

“This attempt to intimidate and prevent a journalist from filming on the public highway and the fact that his press ID was photographed in order to threaten him afterwards must be condemned with the utmost firmness.”

The police took the assailant before an investigating judge, who placed him under investigation on suspicion of “theft with violence” but did not detain him. The cameraman, who filed a complaint against his assailant, has been given five days’ medical leave.

A court in Boulogne-Sur-Mer has meanwhile sentenced the mosque’s imam to two years in prison on a charge of helping migrants to cross the Channel illegally.

France is ranked 32nd out of 180 countries in RSF’s 2019 World Press Freedom Index.

What’s it going to take before the citizens of France, Britain and the Scandinavian countries rise up and fight back? It’s time for torches & pitchforks.

the last right wing party (LR Les Républicains) in France is dying because of Macron global takeover.

so in France, we have leftist parties like :

– LREM (EM Emmanuel Macron personal Party) composed of most former PS Parti Socialist but with many politicians fond of economic liberalism of Europe, I called this party PS 2.0 (Parti Socialist 2.0)
– RN (Rassemblement National) composed of economic socialist concepts and nationalism
– Ecologist but with socialist background

Socialism is existing with Islam, so yes France is screwed, unless a recall of French right wing values are emerging again (my last hope)

Note: LR Les Republicains are right wing, with very moderate economic liberalism and engaged in reducing fractures from liberal economy

Looks like the next D Day will be to liberate the French once again from the Muslim Nazis and their allies.Why do the French always need to be liberated? They have been a conquered people since the fall of the Bourbons. I really do not think that democracy works out well for the French.
Perhaps,we need to install Louis XIX on the throne? Many years ago I met the Comte’ de Paris, the French pretender.Dont know much about him, but he sure had a large number of beautiful daughters.Perhaps,one of them could be recruited?

Gee someone ran from muslums rather than being ‘invited’ into the mosque? Why would anyone do that?

It seems unreasonably risky in todays enriched environments some are “blessed” to live in, to expect certain people to behave with the required degree of western decoram when in the presence of the press, therefore it would seem to be the time to provide five or six ex soldiers as protection for a reporter and cameraman when in risky situations.

As long as clear and repeated warnings are given, action could solve these issues.
