I'm starting to think these people have no respect for European history, culture, values, or its fallen heroes.

More from Metro:

The incident happened on Tuesday morning, sending shockwaves across France.

Bruno Retailleau, France's interior minister, said on X: ‘This unworthy and deplorable act undermines the memory of those who died for France.'

Meanwhile, Patricia Miralles, the French minister for war veterans, said what happened is ‘not a mere misstep, but a desecration'.

She stressed: ‘France will never tolerate the tarnishing of the memory of those who died for her. Never.'

The suspect, Hamdi H., is a 47-year-old homeless migrant from Morocco. He initially denied his actions, but apparently admitted to the crime later.

French outlet Le Figaro cited a source close to the case, claiming that the man will have his residence permit (green card) revoked, meaning we've finally found what will anger European countries enough to deport people.

(If you want to blackpill, however, go read the comments in French under Bruno Retailleau's post.)

Local media reported that the man is well known to the police and has 21 records in the criminal record processing file (TAJ), including car theft, vandalism, violence and public insults on grounds of race.

A woman, who claimed to be the author of the video, said the man did not ‘appear drunk or under the influence of drugs.'

She added: ‘On the contrary, he was clearly aware of what he was doing, and proud of having done it.'

Like I said, I'm starting to think the whole "Let's import a gazillion people and teach them to be French" experiment isn't working!
