The videos, revealed on Twitter by the Young Guard, an anti-fascist group, and by Mediapart, show a man wearing a “Ben voir” cap, a tic in the language of Eric Zemmour erected as a slogan by his fans, exercising with a sniper rifle. “Well let’s see friends, who are we going to bust?” Of the young gaucho, of the young communist, of the young mental bougnoule ”, laughs the young man, before firing with a big caliber.
In another video filmed in the same place, another young man targets the ex-spokesman of France Insoumise Raquel Garrido. Rifle in hand, he explains “training to hunt wild Garrido” before firing and then firing a second time, evoking her husband, the LFI deputy Alexis Corbière. In the same sequence, the man openly imagines himself shooting “anti-fas and leftists”, as well as people of North African origin. “There are Algerian and Moroccan flags, I saw there, so we will hasten to shoot,” he blurted out.
