So anyone prepared to give odds that our lovely media will fall all over themselves trying to explain away this and trying to pin it on extreme right wing groups.....somehow?

I'll give you 5-1. :mellow:

yeah wtf. I didn't know even Timmy is that idiotic.
On the one hand I'd be surprised if there are French neo-Nazis (given France's history with Nazi Germany) at all, but on the other hand I'm sure there are a few Le Lettou's floating around in France. :)

Timmay's surprise is legit, given the media reports that French cops were allegedly thinking the same. From an article above:

QuoteThere were reports in France that police were looking for three former soldiers of the logistics regiment sacked for "neo-Nazi" activities. The men were all ejected from the army in 2008 after a photograph emerged of them making Nazi salutes in front of a swastika. "Police are interested in locating those men to see if there may be some connection," said a source close to the investigation.

Yeah this banner seems to suggest this is a 'French are racists' neo-Nazi thing rather than 'In France Islamic Terrorists are killing Arabs, Blacks, and Jews.'  So Timmy wasn't alone in this.

Russia has tons of Neo-Nazis despite their history with Germany, why wouldn't France?

When I heard paratroopers and Jews, I immediately assumed Algerian (with a long memory... it was paratroops that took Corsica and overthrew the 4th Republic so they could keep occupying Algeria). I didn't know that the troops were themselves North African, though.

They didn't take Corsica or overthrow the 4th Republic...since the coup happened during the 5th Republic.

Huh, thought this would be neo-nazis

seriously?
Since the French soldiers were of North African descent, yeah.

Also, the killer wasn't suicidal.
I think one was Cameroonian too.  Which again made me think it was more likely to be a neo-Nazi.

Sorry wrong coup.  I was thinking of the 1961 coup where the Foreign Legion parachute regiment was disbanded since that one, specifically,  was in reaction to the DeGaulle's decision to pull out of Algeria.

Apparently he's gone to the siege in Toulouse.  It's like Churchill in Sidney Street.

There are Polish neonazis. Neonazis: not very smart.

I wasn't trying to join Mock Tim bandwagon here... hence my second sentence about French Lettows. :)

That guy is still alive after all this time?  Those machine pistols aren't so tough after all, it seems.
