Itβs not a reward for the perpetrator, itβs a preemptive Defense fund in case an example shall be made from him.
That's what is written, but we both know the reason people are donating.
I think the danger of becoming a political scapegoat is very real, and when the government wants your head you need every bit of resources you can get.
... when what government wants your head? The government controlled by macron and Darmanin? The government that called for "a time of unity and peace" last Monday to try to tell everyone "actually it's fine if the police can kill people extra judicially, don't worry about it"?
Either he's convicted of a crime in which case the justice system will punish him, I hope appropriately (note that death is not among possible punishments, funny how that works) or he's not, in which case the government will no longer care about him because of what Americans call double Jeopardy. Either way this guy is not in danger from the government.
