Is that really a journalist… or a commentator? Not a very objective analysis of the situation.

Journalists aren't intrinsically meant to be objective. They are allowed to be completely biased
And I'm allowed to take a shit on my keyboard. Doesn't mean it's encouraged.

Welcome to lemmy.
And Bastille Day is coming up in about four days, isn't it?
Oh, the irony...
It's an interesting development for sure. In Germany they want to prosecute climate protesters (letzte Generation) for organizing a criminal organization (like mafia, yes). If things continue in this direction the saying "it's not about left/right, it's about freedom/authoritarianism" might soon be something I will say with zero irony.
I worry for the day when class wars become the next world war
Your post sounds more like a manifesto than a news piece. Also, your source is really oriented... unless you are using Lemmy as a platform for your own content which is not what I'm here for.
FMHY.ML has some whack users, so I'm not surprised.
Thanks, good to know. This new instance business is a bit disconcerting. I am use to be cautious with communities/subs and now I need to learn about instance too. Not a bad thing to change habits from time to time, when you think of it
America has similar stupid sentences for many vaguely criminal acts, usually dependent on skin color.
Hey, that's not a fair evaluation of the US 'Justice' system. Being rich has a lot to do with your success as well.
Heavily oriented video and summary.
Here is a "check news" from liberation, a left leaning french media (warning: it's in french), about the guy who "just stole a redbull": https://www.liberation.fr/checknews/violences-urbaines-un-homme-a-t-il-ete-condamne-a-dix-mois-de-prison-ferme-pour-le-vol-dune-canette-de-redbull-20230704_XDDKWZ6GXRHP3JAYZQF5R2GJP4/
The lawyer adds: "He's a boy without stories." Who, however, has a criminal record: last year, he was tried in voluntary appearance on prior admission of guilt (procedure of "plead-guilty" which allows a quick judgment and proposes a sentence less than that incurred) for burglary and received a one-year prison sentence, suspended.
He was arrested by the police on the evening of June 29 as he left a looted Monoprix store, a can of Redbull in his hand.
Not only he had a suspended sentence, he also LOOTED the redbull from a store.
I didn't watch the video but i'm very surprised about the censured medias thing, never heard about anything like that recently. And i should know, I live there.
So sure, journalists' work has been increasingly harder to do the last few years, but censorship, real state censorship or "gag order" like the us does sometimes ?
That's a line no french government would dare to cross because THAT would be the real riots. What's happening right know would be merely skirmirshes in comparison.
The liberation article I linked even says journalists, them included, could witness the trials.
Macron is indeed talking about censoring social media to cripple these riots, but nothing have been done yet to allows this.
Can we not post YouTube links and other (video/audio) commentaries in news communities?
How many hundreds of year did the fascist policeman get? Has he already been publicly hanged?
Nothing for now. He asked for liberation until his court case, justice said no.
So he is still sleeping in prison. Apparently he and his colleague gave contradictory statements the IGPN (the police of police).
I believe he will get time, but probably not that much and all the prison time made before the court count as well.
So, protests incoming for the verdict in what, one year ?
Why is he a fascist?
He killed a black man for absolutely no reason.
We have a lot of people like that here in the US. Doesn't mean he's a fascist; it just means he's a murderous, racist asshole who needs to get his face caved in.
So that's fascism huh?
I mean, this happened after the UK 2012 riots as well. prosecutors will push for the maximum penalty due to the nature of the crime to deter future rioting/looting.
+1 Please and thank you.
Why is 1 year sentence for looting is too much? Or u mean because the personal had psychological condition they should have been admitted to hospital instead ?
Do these people in charge not understand that if they push french people too hard guillotines will start spawning?
Like either you listen to the people or heads start rolling...
