NEW: Ken Griffin on Paris riots, Chicago and JB Pritzker
I think Paris should be a real wake up call to every single young American. France is the dream the left talks about. That dream is the nightmare I left from Chicago. That dream doesn’t belong in our country. A society that comes down to how much you can take from others.
Do you see candidates that you’re actually fearful that’s the path they’re going down:
J.B. Pritzker, Governor of Illinois. Yes, 100%. 100%
1 person was killed by a Frenchman who declared he wanted to "get revenge" for looted store owners.
Macron called it a "turning point for France".
130 slaughtered in the 2015 Islamic terror attack, 90 at the Bataclan alone, in which a father of one of those killed says his son's testicles had been cut off and put in his mouth.
Yet this 1 murder by the French guy was the turning point?
There will be no riots and looting today in Vilnius, Warsaw, Prague, Budapest, Bucharest and Zagreb.
Ask yourselves why it won’t happen in those cities
I would have thought Charlie Hebdo was the turning point. Or the Bataclan. Or the Bastille Day truck ramming in Nice. Or the Carcassonne shootings and kidnappings. Or the Strasbourg Christmas market shootings...Or the Arras murder of a school teacher...Or even the riots of the past few few weeks.
I'm no politician though so I'll have to just memory hole those and the countless smaller terror attacks and daily acts of horror like the suitcase murder of 12 year-old Lola Daviet by an Algerian illegally in the country, that certainly had no effect on the tinderbox state of affairs that ensured a backlash like this would happen.
Push all of that deep down inside and forget it and repeat..."Racist terrorist attack is a turning point for France".
Macron says that today’s shooting in Trappes was aimed at migrants and the first terror attack in French history against a group of people targeted because of their skin and religion.
He is naturally lying as there have been several such Islamist attacks in France in recent years which were carried out against Jews or Christians.
- 2012, Mohammed Merah attacks a Jewish school in Toulouse and murders a rabbi and 3 kids
- 2015, Amedy Coulibaly murders 4 Jews at the Hypercacher kosher supermarket in Paris
- 2016, Adel Kermiche and Abdel Malik Petitjean storm a church in Normandy and murder the 85-year-old priest Jacques Hamel, by slitting his throat, and also critically wound an 86-year-old man.
2020, Brahim Aouissaoui storms a Catholic basilica in Nice and stabs 3 people to death.
Macron stated today:
“What happened today is a turning point. It is the first time there has been a terrorist act planned to kill our compatriots, our children, because of the color of their skin or their religion”
A second or third-generation migrant from Africa explains why Chinese businesses are targeted by looters:
“The Chinese living in France have become too wealthy. It's unfair”
Let me redo the headline for you @nytimes:
“Criminals loot Paris, beat police and light monuments on fire.
Subhead:
“Citizens are deeply concerned and scared for their personal safety. Election odds predictably swing to law-and-order candidates on prediction markets.”
This guy embodies one of the most popular archetypes used to bully white men throughout the world. Yet after being attacked, he gets back up, stands his ground, and faces his attackers to defend whatever remains of his store.
His attackers, meanwhile, behave like a pack of hyenas. Whatever bravery they have is only because of their numbers and their de facto anonymity — police wouldn’t arrest them anyway.
So, the guy who looks like the punchline of a thousand jokes actually displays more honor in a single moment than literally the entire recorded history of his attackers.
He has no crowd to hide behind, no numerical advantage, and seemingly very little left to protect. What has happened to him will either be ignored or excused as having been caused by some kind of socio-economic problem which is ultimately his fault anyway. Nevertheless, he stands there.
I would take one thousand Jacques Blacks before taking a single refugee.
