France: "Individuals" Attack Tribute Display to Samuel Paty



Last year, France was horrified by the murder and beheading of a teacher named Samuel Paty, in retaliation for having shown caricatures of the Prophet Mohammad to his class.

On Thursday, "a group of individuals" (not further described) was seen throwing rocks and breaking a display window paying homage to Paty.

Fousesquawk comment: "A group of individuals". If the police are hoping that someone in the public will come forward with information, it might help by giving a better description. "A group of individuals" could be 4 or 5 little old ladies from Pasadena. Of course, knowledgeable readers in France will quickly read between the lines and realize what the police, prosecutor, and media refuse to say.
