The 23-year-old French man 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 an event in 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.

    It’s funny how your defense and justifications for your stance constantly comes down to you arrogantly explaining how you really have absolutely no awareness of current events and what’s actively happening in the world and you completely lack the ability to apply context to anything anyone says.

    I don’t think you’re a conservative anymore, I genuinely believe you just have a legitimate and debilitating learning disability paired with an attention seeking behavior disorder. I don’t think any of this is political for you, you’re just lonely and sad, huh?
