| Slain Jewish man's family leaves trial | |
| 2009-05-02 | |
| IIUC, the inital motive for the crime was to get money, and was not terror-related, but random Youth crilmes with an antisemite background... BUT, this trial is being turned into a political/agitprop platform, and youssouf is trying to make himself into a djihadist (in addition to being a racist borderline nutcase)... a noteworthy point, his advocate is a radical she-leftist who actually married carlos the jackal in jail a few years ago (carlos, you might recall, has converted and wrote a book called "revolutionary islam", on how this new force was going to defeat the capitalist West). The family of a man allegedly tortured and killed for being Jewish left a Paris courtroom Thursday to protest the judge's handling of the trial, a lawyer said. Ilan Halimi's family walked out after Youssouf Fofana, the suspected ringleader of 27 young people on trial for killing Halimi, 23, made intimidating comments, saying he had friends in the courtroom who would "take pictures to identify people," Halimi family lawyer Francis Szpiner said to The Times of London. When the judge refused to silence Fofana, the family and their lawyers walked out, Szpiner said. The trial, closed to the public because two suspects were minors at the time of the killing, is expected to last 2 1/2 months. Fofana, 28, admits to kidnapping Halimi but denies stabbing him to death, The Times reported.
Fofana faces life in prison because charges against him include anti-Semitism, an "aggravating circumstance" requiring the stiffest sentences under French law. Several members of his "gang of barbarians" testified Halimi was targeted because he was Jewish, which they felt meant he had money and his community would pay to get him back, The Times said. | |

| #3 I remember long ago, in one of the provinces of China that never get cold, they had an unusual cold spell, and men were tying weights on their penises to keep them from shrinking up into the body and vanishing. |

| #2 Let Mr. Halimi's relatives touch each one of the murderers and their supporters at least once, then let slip the special Jewish skill of causing Muslim penises to shrivel up and their womenfolk unable to bear sons. They should then remain constantly in the courtroom, smiling contentedly or gazing thoughtfully at their future victims. It's true, y'all know it -- was it Nigeria or Kenya where they had that problem a few years ago? |
