In Nantes, a student memorial for Lola, a murdered schoolgirl, was disrupted by a group of Antifa activists. Members of the royalist-leaning student group La Cocarde had arranged candles and a framed photo outside the cathedral when a gang of black-clad Antifa members arrived, outnumbering the students.
Video footage shows the group throwing smoke devices, rushing the vigil, and destroying Lola’s portrait and flowers while shouting slogans over the tribute to the 12-year-old, who was raped and murdered by an undocumented Algerian migrant.
This approach is consistent with Antifa tactics observed everywhere else, too. They often act just like other gangs, targeting individuals or small gatherings when they outnumber and can take advantage of the element of surprise. When confronted, members report to the press and social media, claiming they were attacked by “fascists” and share edited footage to alter the narrative.
After the memorial was trashed by the thugs, online liberal lunatics attempted to reframe the incident as a clash with “far-right extremists” rather than an attack on a peaceful vigil.
These attacks, riots, rapes, and murders have been going on for years, and getting worse, and France's government appears to have no interest in making any changes in favor of its citizens.
