The mainstream French media has given very little to no coverage of this incident. This week, France is reeling over the latest murder of one of its citizens by 4-5 "youths". Earlier this month (July 5), Philippe Monguillot, French bus driver in the southwestern town of Bayonne, was beaten into a brain-dead coma by a group of young men who, upon boarding, were asked to provide valid tickets and to don face masks. On Friday, it was announced that Monguillot had been taken off life support and has died. So it now appears that a total of 5 "young men" are charged with this crime, 2 of them with the actual murder with the other 3 charged with offenses relating to the attack. As is the custom in Europe, identities of the attackers have been obscured. (Full names of suspects are not released.) It is for the public to figure out who the attackers are and what threats they face from certain segments of the population. Apparently, in this case, the French media has described the suspects as "marginal Frenchmen". https://beforeitsnews.com/opinion-conservative/2020/07/france-murder-of-a-bus-driver-3532745.html Can you guess who might have done it? This article actually names those arrested, from 'The French blog, Francois DeSouche has posted a Facebook page of INSTRUCTEURS POLICE GENDARMERIE (Police Gendarmerie Instructors), which lists 4 suspects' names as, Mohamed C., Mohammed A., Moussa B. and Sélim Z.' And now French people might be beginning to figure out why Americans in many parts of the United States have long avoided the use of public transportation and buses.
Your claim that the French mainstream media hardly covered this story is false. One really has to wonder why you are making things up. Several thousands came together in a protest march and to commemorate the incident, this was covered by the media. Prime minister Castex confirmed the death via twitter, covered by the media. French interior minister Gerlad Darmanin visited the family of the decedent, covered by the media. Maybe you should familiarize yourself better with these topics before making claims. Your claim that it's custom in Europe to obscure identities of attackers is also false. It seems you are completely unaware that every European country handles these things their own way, there is no "European way" as your claim suggests. The assumption that what is true for public transport in the US must also be true for France is painfully superficial. Maybe Americans have been avoiding public transport in many parts of the US because American public transport sucks. Btw, there were no half-way reliable sources available, so you had to resort to an absurdly obscure opinion website.
Really? For pointing out that the OP uses an opinion website? Sorry, I don't see the logic behind that. Btw, if one really wants to know whether "the media" is silent on this, a quick google search clearly shows that this incident is covered internationally. Makes one wonder why some people on this board have to lie.
You dont see how you said it was "widely reported" but then say this -------- > Btw, there were no half-way reliable sources available
It seems you didn't understand that sentence. Imagine it phrased as a question, should be clear then.
A three minute google search is too much for you?

@kazenatsu I can't speak for TV medias as I don't watch them, I don't listen the radio either. For written internet medias, I noticed that globally the more leftist medias barely mentionned the case, or put it on a less noticeable place on their website, more right winged gave more importance to that. I notice often that structure in that kind of murders where the victim is killed for no motive, the victim is white and part of the "old french", and the perpetrator is a "cultural enrichment". But our enlightened rich leftists would continue to deny any existence of anti white racism.
