Blonde with a Badge: The Éric G. Saga and Europe's Open Season on the Native, By Richard Miller (Londonistan)
Imagine this: It's dawn in Bobigny, a Seine-Saint-Denis suburb where multiculturalism means more migrants than locals, and "no-go zones" aren't a meme – they're Monday morning. A 94-year-old grandmother hears rustling in her garage, the same spot targeted by squatters the day before. She calls her grandson, Éric G., a 26-year-old police officer. Off-duty, he grabs his service weapon, not out of bloodlust, but because in France's banlieues, calling the cops might as well mean calling a cab to nowhere. He arrives, slips on his armband, scales the fence, and confronts the intruder: Amar Slimani, an illegal Algerian migrant with a rap sheet for bootleg smokes and God knows what else.
What happens next? Chaos. Éric calls for backup on 17 (France's police hotline). Slimani wakes, turns hostile – "provocative and threatening," per Éric's report. The officer draws his baton, orders retreat. Slimani grabs what Éric sees as a sledgehammer (later ID'd as a caulking gun) and charges. Cornered, Éric flees toward the street, but the migrant pursues. In a split-second calculus of survival, Éric turns, draws, fires seven rounds – five connect. Slimani drops. Éric flips him to recovery position, checks pulse, calls for medics, applies training. Alone. Heroic? Or homicide?
The prosecutor's initial take? No charges – self-defence smells legit. But Bobigny's judges? They remand him to pre-trial detention. That was June 29, 2024. Today, October 31, 2025: 15 months caged, seven release pleas denied. No trial date in sight. His lawyer, Laurent-Franck Lienard, boils it down: "Basically, it was a blond man with blue eyes who shot an Algerian." A Nordic archetype, tall, fair, uniformed, versus a North African squatter. In Macron's France, guess who draws the villain edit?
Éric's saga isn't just a bad arrest; it's a masterclass in inverted justice. Placed in custody against prosecutorial advice, he's now rotting in isolation – cops are piñatas in French prisons, targets for shivs and shaming. His mum's words gut-punch: "He has dark thoughts... if we weren't there, he would have hanged himself already." Grandma? Dead months ago, spared the news to avoid a broken heart. Offers of jobs, housing, even an ankle bracelet? Rejected. The court's rationale? "Risk of recurrence" – as if Éric's plotting a granny-garage spree. Lienard calls BS: "As if he were going to find himself tomorrow morning in his grandmother's garden with his service weapon, in front of another squatter. It makes no sense."
Enter the civil side: Slimani's family, repped by Yassine Bouzrou (the firebrand behind Nahel Merzouk's 2023 riots), screams "racist crime." They paint Slimani as a handyman, not a home invader – despite zero tools at the scene. Bouzrou twists the autopsy: Seven shots (two misses in panic), some in the back? Proof of murder, not melee. The caulking gun? "Inoffensive." Éric's psych eval? Weaponised as "rigid," low empathy – code for "not woke enough." National Rally (RN) backs Éric, turning it political; Bouzrou smirks: "Now that we know the family has the support of the National Rally." Rally 'round the "fascists," eh?
X erupts in solidarity – or schadenfreude, depending on the tribe. @RMXnews's thread racks 26k likes: "Rotting in prison... because he is a White man who shot an Algerian." @RadioGenoa contrasts it with a freed migrant killer: "If he had been a white Frenchman, he would have been sentenced to 30 years." Echoes of Nahel – the 2023 teen shot during a traffic stop, sparking riots that torched France – where the cop got heat, but the narrative flipped to systemic racism. Here, Éric's the Nahel inverse: White defender, migrant intruder. Same script, reversed roles.
Open season on the "Nordic" – blond, blue-eyed, the very archetype of Europe's founding stock. In a France where 70% of Seine-Saint-Denis births are to foreign-born mums, natives are the interlopers in their own hoods. Éric's not just caged for shots fired; he's jailed for skin deep. Lienard's quip isn't hyperbole – it's diagnosis. France's judiciary, marinated in post-colonial guilt, treats white-on-brown violence as prima facie prejudice. Remember Nahel: One shot, nationwide inferno. But migrants slashing French throats? Crickets, or "cultural enrichment."
This isn't isolated. Theo Luhaka's 2017 beating: Cops convicted, but slaps on wrists. Flip it: Algerian influencers arrested for violent posts? Swift cuffs. Pattern? Protect the "vulnerable" at natives' expense. Éric's family crumbles – mum: "My son shot to avoid dying, not to kill!" Revenge? Or reparation?
Broader rot: France's migrant influx – 500k+ annually, Algerians topping charts – breeds banlieue battlegrounds. Cops like Éric patrol powder kegs, but self-defence? A scarlet letter. RN's support? Vital, but late – Bardella's crew surges in polls on this fury. X users seethe: @FredGaulois on Algerian knife threats: "Ca va s'arrêter quand ces conneries?" @9mm_smg: "Diversity... as planned."
Éric's limbo – 15 months without trial – screams systemic sabotage. French law caps pre-trial at 4 years for murder, but "complex" cases drag. His? "Political," per Bouzrou. Solution? Amnesty bids, public pressure, RN-led inquiries. But root fix: Secure borders, arm citizens, neuter activist judges.
This is Europe's canary: When defending grandma's garage lands you in the gulag, the social contract's shredded. Blond and blue-eyed? Target profile for "reparative" rage. Open season, indeed – unless the hunters become the hunted at the polls.
Éric, if you're reading: Hold fast. France's soul stirs. The fair fight you started? It's just beginning.
