French President Emmanuel Macron on Saturday, February 14, urged calm and restraint after the fatal beating of a 23-year-old French youth aligned with the far-right on the sidelines of a conference by a hard-left lawmaker in the southeastern city of Lyon.

The death of the young man – identified only as Quentin – has intensified tensions between France’s far-right and radical left who are both eyeing 2027 presidential elections.

He had been hospitalized in Lyon on Thursday after being attacked while providing what his supporters said was security for a protest against an appearance by hard-left MEP Rima Hassan at the Lyon branch of the Sciences Po university.

      Yes? People get shot and killed all the time for all sorts of different reasons.

      What are you trying to argue? You can be direct about it instead of trying to play leapfrog with yourself.

        Fuck off, I see what you’re doing. I’m done interacting with this high school debate idiocy.

          Ok, just making sure you couldn’t directly articulate why you think they want “people like you” to die. Maybe next time don’t make the claim if you’re going to run away the moment it’s scrutinized.

          You wouldn’t survive on a high school debate team.
