ER Editor: French journalist Eric Zemmour has once again incurred the wrath of the righteous multicultural crowd for using some harsh, direct language, which we believe he has a right to use, over the deliberate attack by dark-skinned youth armed with very long knives, who entered a local municipal celebration declaring they were there to kill whites. Wikipedia actually does a decent job of describing the incident. Many boys at the event were stabbed, and attacked with other non-knife items; equally, there were several perpetrators. One boy, Thomas Perotto, died of his wounds.
Remix News did a report on this back in late 2023 — ‘We came to kill White people!’ — 9 arrested for murder of French teen in mass stabbing attack
Here is a tweet from Zemmour yesterday —
Translation: The justice system has decided to condemn me because I said, “It’s always the Thomases who fall and it’s always the Chahids who kill them.” Of course, I will appeal, because it is unacceptable that the truth is so muzzled in our country. This judgment is highly symbolic, especially the week we learned that Thomas died because his killers considered him a “dirty gwer,” a dirty “white” in Arabic. Anti-white racism kills, but in France, it is those who fight it who are punished by justice.
La justice décide de me condamner, car j’ai dit « Ce sont toujours les Thomas qui tombent et ce sont toujours les Chahid qui les tuent ».
Bien sûr, je ferai appel, car il est inadmissible que la vérité soit à ce point bâillonnée dans notre pays. Ce jugement est hautement…

For those who want to practice their French (subtitled clearly), Zemmour is captured here speaking frankly. He calls those who entered into the municipal hall with knives ‘predators’ —
Translation: Eric Zemmour fined 9,000 euros for saying: “Today we have a situation where we have two peoples, two Frances, two youths, that of Thomas, that of Chahid” regarding the Crépol tragedy

France also suffers from a politicized judiciary like many countries.

The court found that Zemmour’s remarks — made during a televised appearance on RMC and BFMTV on Nov. 30, 2023 — constituted serious racial insults and hate speech delivered at a highly sensitive moment of national tension. (ER: There is no free speech in France.)
Zemmour, president of the right-wing Reconquest party, had referred to the fatal stabbing of Thomas, a 16-year-old White high school student, by a group of Black youths as symbolic of a broader conflict in French society.
“We have, today, a situation where we have two peoples, two Frances, two youths — that of Thomas, that of Chahid,” he said. He further described Arab-Muslim individuals as “scum” responsible for “dozens of deaths,” while dismissing concerns about protests from nationalist groups in the aftermath of the attack as a “media smokescreen.”
His comments were reported by self-proclaimed anti-racism groups, including SOS Racisme, the Interministerial Delegate for the Fight against Racism, Anti-Semitism and Anti-LGBT Hatred (Dilcrah), two MPs from the leftist France Insoumise (LFI), and a private citizen.
Zemmour defended his statements as an exercise of free speech and denied any racist intent.
The court, however, strongly condemned his language, noting that Zemmour “designates as murderers” individuals of Arab and Muslim origin “based solely on their names” and perpetuates a narrative that pits one part of France against another.
“Such discourse further aggravates dissension and sharpens resentment,” the judges wrote, especially at a time when tensions were high and fears of violence were mounting.
In its ruling, the court stated that Zemmour engaged in “gross generalization,” contrasting the idealized image of White French youth with a caricatured portrayal of minority groups as predatory and violent.
Taking to social media following the verdict, Zemmour wrote, “The justice system has decided to condemn me because I said, ‘It’s always the Thomases who fall, and it’s always the Chahids who kill them.’
“Of course, I will appeal because it is unacceptable that the truth is so muzzled in our country. This judgment is highly symbolic, especially the week we learned that Thomas died because his killers considered him a “dirty gwer,” a dirty “White” in Arabic.
