Imagine (although this would never happen) if this had been a Jew or Christian who smoked pot, screamed about his religion, and killed a Muslim. Would he be found “not criminally responsible”? Of course not. But in France today, as all over Western Europe, the primary job of the courts and law enforcement authorities is to make sure that Muslims aren’t enraged. They must be appeased at all costs. Will this lead in the long run to a peaceful and harmonious multicultural society? What do you think?
“France: Judge rules Jewish woman’s killer not criminally liable,” by Ben Ariel, Arutz Sheva, July 16, 2019:
A Muslim man who killed his Jewish neighbor in Paris while shouting about Allah is probably not criminally responsible for his actions because he had smoked marijuana beforehand, a French judge has ruled.
The preliminary ruling in the trial of Kobili Traore for the 2017 murder of Sarah Halimi came Friday from a judge of inquiry — a magistrate that in the French justice system is tasked with deciding whether indicted defendants should in fact stand trial, JTA reported Monday.
Halimi was murdered in 2017 after she was attacked by her Muslim neighbor while she was sleeping in her apartment. He stabbed her, yelled “Allahu Akbar,” and then threw her from the third story to her death.
Traore confessed to the killing but a subsequent psychiatric evaluation determined that he was not responsible for his actions.
Francis Khalifat, the president of the CRIF umbrella group of French Jewish communities, called the latest ruling “unsurprising but hardly justifiable.” He said his group and others will appeal in hopes of bringing Traore to trial.
He could be hospitalized for treatment of his psychotic lapses or made to attend a drug rehabilitation program, or he could be released.
Khalifat’s op-ed published Monday on the CRIF website follows a series of protests over perceived delays in Traore’s trial and the efforts, including by judges, that CRIF and others have condemned as attempts to prevent a murder trial.
An aggravated element of a hate crime was added to Traore’s indictment following vocal protests by CRIF, which said that the omission of such charges may have part of a “cover up” by French authorities.
Witnesses said Traore called Halimi a “demon” as he was pummeling her. Halimi’s daughter said following the murder that Traore called her, the daughter, a “dirty Jewess” two years before the killing when they passed each other in the building.
Sammy Ghozlan, a former police commissioner and founder of France’s Bureau for Vigilance Against Anti-Semitism, told JTA in May that the handling of the Halimi case has made him “no longer have full confidence that anti-Semitic hate crimes in France are handled properly.”…
No kidding, really?
Lloyd Miller says
Horrendous!
Seems to belie the oft repeated anti-Semitic belief that Jews are behind the Islamic invasion of Europe.

Response to LM: The influence of Jews in shaping the world is highly exaggerated. Many secularized Jews are Leftists and Globalists. Consciously or unconsciously, they are a tiny part of the large group of Globalists in the West. At about 1% or less of the population, Jews have little influence in promoting globalism. George Soros is Jewish in name only and is like other similar billionaire ideologues who support worldwide levelling of markets and labor. These billionaires live in an artificial world of palaces and have no sympathy with the common person whose culture and language give shape and meaning to their lives.
It’s a new feudalism. The billionaire globalists are attempting to control all ideas and speech so that only their messages are heard.

Nice synopsis, Mortimer. Power and wealth has turned them into sociopaths who lack sympathy or empathy. I wonder what their childhoods were like. These globalists and one world order proponents have contempt for people who had no interest in such thirst for control. They are causing irreversible damage and death and politicians are too scared to stand up to them unless they’re one of them too.
At the minimum this guy should get what we call Manslaughter 2. One is still culpable on drugs.
Lydia Church says
Oh hey! The new ‘get out of jail for free’ card is here!
Two wrongs and no guilt verdict.
So do drunk drivers get off for free next too?
“Well, I just ran into them with my car by accident… you see judge… because… uh… I was drunk.”
Oh, well okay then Bob, you’re not ‘responsible.’
The same for robbing banks too then!
You get to rape, or you get to steal the money, AND you get to take drugs!
All without punishment but you get off scott free!
So that’s the ticket!
Commit a crime and just make sure to smoke some pot and you’ll get off the hook!
Wooooooooow.
So if they ‘take out’ these lawmakers letting in all these violent migrants, and they just smoked some dope, do they get off for free too??? Great question, right?

The public prosecutor’s office brought an appeal against judges’ orders https://www.europe1.fr/societe/meurtre-de-sarah-halimi-le-parquet-de-paris-a-fait-appel-de-lordonnance-des-juges-3909892.
Using drugs other for medical reasons and drunk driving are forbidden in France, the offender is risking a lot.
Stephanie says
pot smoking or not he killed her, he should get the death penalty; no excuses. murder of non-muslims is in the dna of muslims. why are people blind to that fact???
Kerry Wade says
Well said, you are right, all rapists should be executed no matter their so-called mental state.
mortimer says
Agree with Stephanie. Would a criminal get off by saying ‘ I DRANK ALCOHOL before committing said crime’ ??? No. They would be found guilty.
What about saying that in a driving accident? “Your Honor, I am not guilty of causing the traffic accident because I drank alcohol.’
James says
Jail/ hang the judge I His Place!
mortimer says
The judge’s blaming the murder on marijuana was to exonerate Islam’s ideology from taking the blame.
Jew hatred is the motive of this heinous act. Without this Islamic doctrine, the murder would not have happened.
Ernie says
The verdict has nothing to do with justice . It’s all about political convenience ; serving a globalist elites agenda that sees Islam as a way to controll the masses . The judge is a cynical professional prostitute acting on behalf of this globalist elite . Ecouraging anti-semitism is the direct result of these politics . The elites know this very well , but just don’t care . In public and hand in hand walking the streets of Paris the leaders serving the globalist elites stated they would not tolerate any anti-semitism in France . Hypocrites !

Wait a minute!! In Canada we are told that pot is an absolutely harmless substance that will cure every medical condition known to humanity! Are the French saying this is not true?????

Only Muslims on pot are given a pass.
In addition, I have never heard of pot-jihadist.

The oddest thing about this is that everyone I know who smokes weed is chilled out by the experience.
Smoking weed does not induce violence.
Which means, this turd is lying through his tooth!

Then smoke a joint and kill him back. Eye for an eye.

Muslims one excuse after another isn’t it a law that in Islam and smoking pot is a punishable offence by DEATH

France is lost! The unfettered invasion by Muslims, with no acclimation to the French society, will be
their downfall. This invasion has brought crime, numerous terror attacks, murder, disease, demand for welfare, destruction of property representing French heritage, attacks on Christian churches, etc etc, How can the brutal murder of this French Jewish woman, in her home, not be considered murder and terrorism on steroids?? France is lost! Macron should be removed from office and tried for treason as well as the French judge giving this murderer a free pass! The fire at Notre Dame cathedral was a terror attack, and more destruction of France’s history!! Wake up France before it’s too late – If it isn’t already!
Protect your soverignity and your citizens! Save France before it’s too late.
May Sarah Halimi Rest In Peace .
The USA will not save France again!
God bless America!
RonaldB says
I guess if the woman he killed had just been a normal, run-of-the-mill native French woman without an identity group claiming anti-Semitism, there would be no protest of the murder at all. As long as a murder of a French national is not motivated by race hatred, it’s dandy, especially of the murderer is a protected class like Muslim immigrant.
McDonagh Markham says
Your’e right and the French have a history of just lying down before their invaders and in short order, learning to love their oppressors, like Petain and every odd Frenchman and harlot whether in Vichy Southern France or under the occupation. Hate oneself and one’s own and endlessly excuse one’s enemy and thanks to French marxists over-educated to the point of stupidy, like adorno, mouffe, marcuse, and derrida, this malaise has spread throughout Europe and the boomer chattering class.

The French civil service and judiciary are mostly a bunch of weaselly anti-Semites. Always been that way. Remember Dreyfus and Vichy?
SB says
When in France, if you’re angry with someone, make sure you smoke pot before you kill them. But make sure they’re not Muslim, because you will do time.

The official Party line on the effects of marijuana keeps changing. “Reefer Madness” – makes you a dangerous criminal. Cheech and Chong – makes you dimwitted and clumbsy. France, 2019 – makes you murder people. While I’m not one to question the official Party line, either the French aren’t really into marijuana or we should be seeing lots and lots more of “marijuana induced stabbings”….
CRUSADER says
REEFER MADNESS
Origin is from bedouin Islamic area of the Riff Mountains where Moors dwell…
James says
Well, this reminds me of the illegal alien who was deported several times, and he killed a young woman at Fishermans Wharf in San Francisco. He was found innocent by a jury. The issue here was not Islam but illegal immigration and the sanctuary city movement. The Dems in California are committed to identity politics, and this means idealizing all minorities including illegal immigrants. So there is probably a leftist motive and not simply desire to spread Islam. Marijuana is considered totally harmless by supporters in America, supposedly it does not cause violent behavior. Opponents say it does cause violent behavior, and this case seems to bear it out. But it does seem that less mass migration of Muslims might have a positive effect on crime statistics, however.

Antisemitism is not a stranger in France.

France: Muslim who murdered Jewish woman while screaming “Allahu akbar” not responsible because he smoked marijuana
………………………
I’m not the biggest fan of weed smoking–despite living here in “Oaksterdam”–but if marijuana made users homicidal it should be banned everywhere. This is of course bs.

Islam is the “drug” that influence this man to the murder of this innocent women sleeping in her own home .It is the same “drug” that has lead many other Moslems to perform Jihad killing of others and sometimes killing themselves in the process. Most jihadist who murder non-Moslems are not under the influence of any other drug then “Islam”.
Horseman says
Absolutely outrageous! Beyond ludicrous!
Giacomo Latta says
It’s becoming more and more obvious that criminal courts are becoming courts of the government whereas civil courts are still courts of the people. The family of Ms. Halimi should prosecute this hate-filled murderer before the civil courts. Unfortunately the money that fuels this murderous activity lies in Muslim countries and is hard for courts to get at.
Robert_k says
Well as the French meted out justice to the Jew Dreyfus, they are meting out justice for the Jewess Sarah Halimi.
