Barbaric rape in Cherbourg, France: Mayor Olivier Faure prefers to talk about racism rather than the victim

UPDATE
The rapist Oumar N. “showed no empathy whatsoever”; the man known to the police is said to have already sexually abused his four-year-old sister
(…) Oumar N., born in 2004, is already known to the police for cases of violence. A police source also mentioned a previous case of sexual assault on his 4-year-old sister.
In police custody, this portly individual initially denied the facts before finally admitting them laconically. "He showed absolutely no empathy for the victim", said a source close to the case. (…)

The left dares to say anything, even in tragic moments. While the rape of a young woman stirred many French people and almost the entire media landscape, Olivier Faure sent out a questionable tweet. “A criminal must be condemned for his crimes, whether his name is Oumar, Francis, Michel, Emile, Guy or Patrice. Barbarism, perversion and vice have no skin colour or nationality,” he wrote on his Twitter account. “Using a heinous act to imply that immigrants are rapists is racist.”

Translation: A criminal must be condemned for his crimes, whether his name is Oumar, Francis, Michel, Emile, Guy or Patrice. Barbarism, perversion and vice have neither skin colour nor nationality. Using a heinous act to imply that immigrants are rapists is racist.

Several internet users criticised the First Secretary of the Socialist Party for preferring to point out alleged racism rather than have anything said about the victim. “Not in favour of the victim who is fighting for his life. but rushing to speak out against the possible stigmatisation of the perpetrator. This is pathetic,” essayist Amine El Khatmi exclaimed on Twitter. For her part, Laure Lavalette, RN deputy for the Var department, denounced: “Not a single word in favour of the victim before your immigrationist logorrhoea? At least try to pretend, right?”.

On August 4, an 18-year-old man broke into the flat of a 19-year-old woman who lived in the city centre of Cherbourg. The attacker allegedly punched her several times in the face and on the body before raping her with the help of a broomstick. As reported by Le Figaro, the woman was hospitalised, underwent emergency surgery and was placed in an induced coma due to the extent of her injuries: “perforation of the colon, small intestine, peritoneum and diaphragm, a pneumothorax, rib fractures and a high risk of septic shock”. The person was remanded in custody and charged with “rape with barbaric acts” on Saturday August 12.
