The claim seems to be, “the marijuana did it”, ignoring his previous anti-Semitic taunts, his screams of “Allahu Akhbar” during the actual killing,
being pictured smiling with a mein kampf.Now considered unfit to stand trial.
Clearly Kobili Traore had been practicing Islam to the letter:
Narrated ‘Abdullah bin ‘Umar: I heard Allah’s Apostle saying, “The Jews will fight with you, and you will be given victory over them so that a stone will say, ‘O Muslim! There is a Jew behind me; kill him!’ ”
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 56 Hadith 791
This is an insult to both marijuana users and people with mental health issues, neither of which would be a lone cause of violence and the desire to murder a 65 year old Jewish woman. Traore’s desire to practice jihad is the only cause of her death.
(update May 28th, the image used in this post is not Kobili Traore holding a koran.)
Murderer of Sarah Halimi Will Avoid Criminal Trial, French Jewish Defense Group Says
by Ben Cohen
A leading French Jewish organization said on Friday that it had “learned with consternation” that the man accused of murdering Jewish pensioner Sarah Halimi in April 2017 will not face a criminal trial.
In a statement carried by the Jewish publication Alliance, the BNVCA — a Paris-based group that works with victims of antisemitic attacks — said that the investigating magistrate in the Halimi case had concluded that the murderer, Kobili Traore, was heavily intoxicated on marijuana when he committed the killing, and mentally unfit to stand trial.
The BNVCA did not disclose its source for this information, which was unreported in the French media on Friday.
Referring to the numerous political and legal obstacles encountered by the Halimi family in their fight for justice over two years, the BNVCA said that it had “sensed from the beginning of the investigation that this crime would go unpunished.”
Halimi, 65-years-old at the time of her death, was subjected to a frenzied beating and then hurled from a third-floor window in the early hours of Apr. 4, 2017, by Traore, a neighbor in the same public housing project in eastern Paris who broke into her apartment.
Terrified neighbors who alerted police after hearing her cries for help reported that Traore had shouted the words, “Allahu Akhbar,” and, “Shaitan” (Arabic for “Satan”), during Halimi’s ordeal.
Police investigations later revealed that Halimi had told relatives that she was scared of Traore, who insulted her visiting daughter as a “dirty Jewess” a few weeks before the murder.
Traore’s lawyers, however, have insisted throughout that their client was too intoxicated from his ingestion of cannabis to be held responsible for his actions. On March 20, a third psychiatric report commissioned by the investigating judge in the Halimi case concurred with this assessment, arguing that Traore’s consumption of cannabis had eliminated his “discernment” (a clinical term for “judgment”).
In its statement, the BNVCA pointed out the “paradox that a driver under the influence of alcohol has his sentence heavily aggravated, and a drug user is exonerated.”
The group added that it was now “very pessimistic about the real possibilities of eradicating antisemitism when the culprits are neither tried nor sentenced.”
It concluded: “We fear that this decision will encourage other so-called mentally ill people to commit other anti-Jewish crimes.”
The BNVCA’s announcement came two weeks after magistrate Anne Ihuellou announced the end of her investigations into the murder, setting off concerned speculation among observers of the Halimi case that Traore would escape a criminal trial.
Alarmed Pig Farmer says
They decided to cut the kid a break. Now he gets to go free, a hero in the Moslem community, and as a Jihadi will one day ascend to his personal throne in Jannat overlooking piles of houris peach fuzz. Kobili Traore must be the happiest guy in France.
One day the dialog may shift from eliminating antisemitism to eliminating Islam.
Richard Holroyd says
Islam may take a major role in End Time events but will take its place in the Lake of Fire.

RonaldB says
Actually, there is some evidence that marijuana, in modern high-dose versions, may trigger psychosis. Anyway, do we let drunk drivers off when they kill someone driving drunk? No. We enhance the penalty because they voluntarily put themselves into a dangerous state. If marijuana puts you in a dangerous state, you made the choice to take an illegal drug which makes you dangerous. Thus, your personal responsibility should not be lessened. He made the choices leading to the death. But, a lot of judges are dangerous psychopaths themselves who are the least qualified people imaginable for the power they hold.

MARIJUANA INCREASES ANY PLEASURE THROUGH DOPAMINE RELEASE … IF JIHAD-TERRORISM IS YOUR ‘PLEASURE’
https://www.webmd.com/mental-health/marijuana-use-and-its-effects#1
When you smoke cannabis, THC goes from your lungs into your bloodstream and then into your brain. It stimulates the part of your brain that responds to sources of pleasure, like food and sex. That lets loose a chemical called dopamine, which causes the high.
•Give you a relaxed sense of well-being
•Heighten your senses, like make colors seem brighter
•Change your sense of time
•Make you anxious, afraid, or panicked
•Make you hallucinate
Would torture and murder be OK to that judge if a torturer drink heavily beforehand? This verdict should be overturned.
Mac-101 says
So bein Drunk is an excuse too? All mentally unfit defenses should be thrown out. If one is goin to use that defense then the PERSON who is responsible for that mentally ill person should be held accountable or place them in an asylum. If a Judge releases them then the Judge should be held responsible!

The judge made a DOUBLE STANDARD.
Muslims are not guilty of crimes if they have been drinking or smoking marijuana … but non-Muslims would be guilty.

And while I have my issues with widespread marijuana use, the claim that it makes users murderously violent is claptrap. Yes–this is an insult to marijuana users.
Savvy Kafir says
Agreed. None of the potheads I’ve ever known have been motivated by weed to do violence to anyone. It seems to result in lots of giggling and cookie-munching, but not a lot of bloodshed.
That being said, I think this is an especially bad time for more non-Muslims to get all mellowed out on pot. We need to have our wits about us. We need to be focused and fired up for the fight to save the West; and we won’t get much help from giggly, chilled-out layabouts.
(However, I think it’s no business of the government what we put in our own bodies, and the war on drugs is an obscenely expensive mistake.)

Normative Islam, rather than an aberration. So, the court is admitting that anyone who practices Islam TO THE LETTER is “INSANE”.

mgoldberg says
Taking a ‘swing’ at someone because your affected by marijuana, or booze, is something within the confines of reasonable understanding of what constitutes being affected by ‘substances’.
Beating an elderly women for no reason, continuing to beat her for no reason, throwing her off a balcony, which certainly adds ‘with malice aforethought’ to the activity, should in all circumstances bring murder charges to the homicidist. Having him screaming ‘allahu akbar’ adds to the with malice aforethought.
This judge should be tar, weathered and never allowed to judge the law, let alone practice it, ever again.
He’s an accomplice to homicidism.
Harvey Shub MD says
the french let this abomination continue,because of unvetted immigration polcies.they have turned their once great and beautiful country into a cesspool

The French allow this because they are cowards. Someone who yells Allahu Akbar while engaging in violence is practicing Islam at its most pious level.
Prabh says
It is important to understand the Link between racial origins, tribal loyalties and religion/spirituality so as to keep body and soul together. I am not sure if “intersectionality” is the right word. Mujaheddin Concept needs analysis.
Attacking an elderly retired man is unforgivable. The Palestine problem won’t be solved by murdering vulnerable members of society. If anything, attitudes will only harden on the Israeli side. Collective punishment and deflected anger directed at a senior citizen is very bad karma. I don’t really think the desire for peace exists in anyone’s heart. Africa is the richest continent- why is he in France? Persons outside their ancestral land usually exhibit extra good conduct as respect for the indigenous citizens. This African committed a heinous atrocity against a member of a group that has faced persecution for multiple millennia.Now he gamed the system and gets away scot free. This will encourage the mujaheddin to commit more such atrocities. Corrupt judiciaries are a liability.
If people r unemployed they need to learn how to make the most of their leisure time or get a job. Welfare creates more problems than it solves.
Prabh says
I just scanned the article and realize the victim was a woman. This is even worse to attack a woman who is grandmother age – what kind of psycho would attack an old lady? Answer: the mujahideen

tgusa says
So marijuana turns muslims in to homicidal maniacs. That’s strange because most of the non-muslim pot smokers I have encountered in life turn in to couch potatoes after smoking it, they binge watch scooby-doo episodes while pigging out on doritos. That’s a huge difference. However, on the mental illness issue I do believe that children raised under islam, many of them do end up mentally ill. The more devout the father is the crazier they turn out. Many homicidal maniacs over the history of the USA were raised in an abusive household. I don’t excuse it but I do see similarities in the two situations.

Prabh says
Moral codes of conduct vary depending on where the Muslim person resides. In any of the fifty plus Muslim nation states all moral codes ( no liquor, dance, dress code, special diet etc.)must be strictly followed- this is the House of Peace. Eg Iran, Tajikistan,Pakistan, Egypt, Syria,
Ideally muslims ought to be residing in ShariaState as it is a technically a sin for Muslim to live under anything other than Sharia law. In such a land all must keep fast for Ramadan, even nonmuslims as a sign of respect. But migration jihad is pious. Increasing territory of the Umma is good.
The umma is furious because a lot of the house of war is not at the standard of an Anglo Saxon Nation. The House of Peace consists of underdeveloped war zones (oil and ethnic strife due to border disputes) and some areas of immense wealth built thru de facto slave labour from south and Southeast Asia, possibly Africa too. and white colour workers from around the world.
In the House of Dhimmitude such as Europe Muslims have to show nonmuslims who is the boss sometimes in threatening ways, physically and psychologically threatening ways sometimes. Making the nonmuslim feel uncomfortable is part of being a good Muslim.
In lands of dhimmitide aka Europe the indigenous citizens must be prepared to accept being second or third class citizens in their ancestral land.
The Mideast has been arabized over the centuries. It is expected that Europe too will be arabized.
And in the House of War, the Entire Anglosphere (The 5 AngloSaxon Nations) plus India and Africa, jihad lawfare and infiltration of the halls of power plus rigging elections is expected all the while demographic jihad goes on. In the House of War no moral standards exist ** all is fair in love and war. Strategic Islamic inter marriages with consideration to wealth and ancestry and political power hasten the day when thru sheer numbers, democracy will be replaced with sharia theocracy.
When in Rome principle mocked by Islamics who seem to assimilate superficially by getting involved in the democratic process and becoming “educated”.
The aim remains the kalifate/caliphate where everyone must know their place.
Dhimmis must be made to feel like the perpetual outsider, even in their own ancestral lands.
No matter, I remain optimistic that no caliphate will ever be fully worldwide. Nonmuslims are still the majority- there is strength in numbers.
Plus I’m confident science and spirituality together will defeat dystopia of caliphate.
Prabh says
Correction line nine should read the Umma is furious because a lot of the house of peace lands … not house of war —-but house of peace lands not at standard of anglosaxon nations.

So let me get this straight the way to get away with murdering in France of a 65 year old Jewish women is to be Moslem, smoke some pot ,and profess a love of Hitler ? Today on CNN and other MSM they are running fear and loathing articles about elections in Western Europe ‘The raise of what they call far right leaders of Europe”? The MSM live in their own private fantasy world of facts based on appeasement of Islam to the point of suicide of our way of life in the west.

It is interesting that being aggressively anti-semitic was seen by the prosecutor as of little, if any, relevance. It appears that they have a strange definition of “insanity” in France. He clearly had the mental capacity to pick his victim, pick his opportunity (or, at least, manufacture one) and call upon his religious justification (shouting “allah akbar”). He almost certainly knew the nature of the act and that it was illegal to kill her. Where’s the diminished capacity? That he didn’t run away?
It appears that, in France, murdering an elderly Jewish lady is not a crime worth a court trial. This decision announced open season on Jews in France.
I wonder if they even bother to send him to a mental institution as a result. That is the standard in civilized societies to protect society from the “mentally insane. Maybe he just has to promise not to use weed any more.

About a year after this murder of Sarah Halimi, another Muslim murdered another elderly Jewish lady, “Mireille Knoll in 2018 — a 85-year-old Holocaust survivor. The Muzzy who did it, 28-year-old Yacine Mihoub, had a non-Muslim with him (that’s what the papers say) some lowlife he met in prison, named 21-year-old Alex Carrimbacus.
According to this story, Carrimbacus told police that it was the Muzzy, Mihoub, who did the stabbing:
“Carrimbacus subsequently blamed Mihoub for the antisemitic dimension of the murder, claiming that Mihoub had told him that Jews always had plenty of money and a “good situation.” Carrimbacus also alleged that Mihoub had shouted the Muslim slogan, “Allahu Akhbar,” before stabbing Knoll to death with a knife. ”

No Israeli publications carry this story. It seems beyond frustrating. We are not allowed to prove unequivocally, how horrible the leftist-globalist-muslim alliance really is. They are still pushing for Israel to surrender control and their property rights which mean nothing to A leftist, muslim or globalist. They still want Israel to pretend that A complex power and responsibility sharing arrangement is appropriate. While we can’t even print the horrors of european capitulation to islam, and american lies about peaceful coexistence and community relations. Total illegitimacy, unexposed. Progress does exist, perhaps A repeat in elections is fair after all considering all the censorship of the last one. In G-d I trust.
