The riots of Montreal-Nord: a few comments, by Carl Bergeron

"The media have focused on the death of Freddy Villanueva during a police operation. But who knows virtually nothing about this death, the case is under investigation. This does not need an investigation report to be immediately reviewed, these are riots. On this side, however, very little analysis, as if the fact that a band of thugs have fired on police, firefighters and ambulance was inconsequential. As if such a riot was not only in a pure logic of violence, but in a context of rationality "progressive", on one side opposing the "excluded" and another "executioners".

Carl Bergeron, 28, is a graduate in literature and political science. Essayist, he recently published The State of Quebec and the carnival of decadence. He is also director of blog intelligence consistent. We resume his ticket on August 12 on the recent riots in Montreal-Nord. For a complete dossier on these riots here.

The riots of Montreal-Nord: some observations

Let's first events of Montreal-Nord, as the focal point of media analyses did not focus on the riots as such, which were the real event to dig and cover, but on the death of young Freddy Villanueva in a park during a police operation. This is not anecdotal, when one considers that no one knows virtually nothing about the death of Villanueva, a case under investigation by the Surete du Quebec. The versions heard on both sides are so contradictory that only the investigation will take stock of what has actually happened. The normal procedures will make its way before we know more. The best that can be done in the circumstances is to wait until all the facts in hand before judging.

However, this did not need an investigation report to be immediately reviewed, these are riots. On this side, however, very little analysis, as if the fact that a band of thugs have fired on police, firefighters and ambulance was perfectly harmless, as if Molotov cocktails (a weapon worthy of a civil war) had not been used against the police, and as if, finally, does such a riot was not in a logic of pure violence, but in a context of rationality "progressive", a dissident d On the one hand the "excluded" and another "executioners". La Presse headline indeed one of his articles "A community angry", which was quite the social pattern in which we wished to present events.

The riots of Montreal-Nord are a case too serious to be left in the hands of community workers, nurses social, editorialists mollassons, therapists district, all those unable to help, once again, see only the "social" where there are only political. The riots of Montreal-Nord must call the contrary in the first place Public Safety, and ultimately the army. What we witnessed was a show of force on the part of thugs who had explicitly land claims. "This is OUR neighborhood! We will protect you! "Shouted one of these bandits citizens gathered on the sidewalk, while his compatriots, further, lit fire over fire, threatening homes and shops nearby. These thugs no longer recognize the authority of the City of Montreal on the territory of Montreal-Nord. They therefore decided to wage war to the police, like a street gang dispute in which a gang rival the monopoly of a territory.

This war is not new, it has been underway for many years behind the scenes lobbying social. It began with the establishment of all-round victimaires policies, which have undermined the authority of the police and have too feminized, transforming this institution dedicated to security and order in hospital and humanitarian centre ' psychological assistance. How many efforts, since 15 years, to "bring" youth, playing basketball, inflating ballounes in McDonalds, give nananes, walking a bicycle, making the "awareness" open "posts Community "?

The victimary lobbies - which are rare perversity - have wanted the police lowered the level of youth until his authority is confused with them. They succeeded. The police are now "equality" with young people, especially those in sensitive areas such as Montreal-Nord. It is in this light that one must understand the behavior of thugs who no longer hesitate to openly defy the police, refusing to comply when they are apprehended. The police are our "boyfriend"? Then it jumped above, the stabs, it strangles, on the beat, insult, the misunderstanding as if it was our "boyfriend". The victims among street gangs are not they all killed by former "buddies"? The last thing to do with such individuals, it should be their "boyfriend". For these young people do one thing: force. That is precisely what is lacking in SPVM (editor's note: Police Service of the City of Montreal) and society in general, who has completely lost the sense of the concept of authority, without which no society is viable and no common world possible.

What we saw in Montreal-Nord is doomed to repeat itself in a district to another, as the State authority, through a moribund police department and a justice system complacent, will continue to fragment. Gradually, the law of the jungle will supersede the law of society, and the Mafia and other gangsters become, as once the time of barbarism, tribal chiefs in charge of "security" of a parcel of territory. The regular readers of The IC know, I myself left the neighborhood where I lived for many years, Cote-des-Neiges, because life had become unsustainable, excessive current violence and gangs street too present. I would be little surprise that similar riots broke out in Cote-des-Neiges in the next five or seven years, both the ghettoization of this area is obvious.

The entire sectors of the city, with the assistance of Quebec institutions that promote this type of cultural differentialism are doing secession symbolically with national policy space. By dint of repeating the immigrants they are victims, that they are inherently superior by their foreign character, mobile, nomadic coolissime; force to tell them that our history is filled with horrors, and that the lesser of their folk custom is admirable; strength of their hammering that the West is despicable, it is possible to do anything in Quebec, you can always accommodate, forcing to drive in hatred Naturally, well, you see, they eventually we believe: we're crap and they need to eliminate us.

The cult of Immigrant hysterical, identity métèque, Metis, bastard, uprooted, finally activate a mechanism strong resentment among some of the immigrant population, which no longer why it should undergo to institutions and codes which, according to the rhetoric of repentance into force, it would in any way inferior. The feeling of belonging that is being developed among immigrants is the ethnic communalism, which not only arises out of the national reference, but arose against. It turns a passive hostility to an active insurgency, a decline community an offensive identity. Note that these conditions of civil war have been allowed by our authorities, and nobody else. The cowardice, the well-pensance progressive language of wood and political correctness of the media and political class did the rest. Today, now that war broke out and it went from champ symbolic - where she was taking place for several years - in fact, the "pacifist" tell us that this is not a war but an evil to live; should not be replicated by law enforcement, but by "prevention". They say the same thing riots of Cote-des-Neiges in five years, and so on until the wave of violence to achieve personally in the beautiful areas of Outremont and Saint-Lambert: while there are only they wake up and it will be too late.

I have read, under the pen of several columnists that the "violence on both sides" was "not acceptable" and unprecedented "punishment was resolved anything." What does this mean? How about "violence on both sides" when it comes to government faces a band of thugs? The own State authority is concentrated in its hands the monopoly of violence on its territory: it is the fundamental definition of political sovereignty. No one but the state is supposed to use violence, and yet this same monopoly that the thugs were challenged, enjoying the tacit support of the media class, for whom the "victims" and "excluded" will always right against "the established order."

In a civilized society, violence is legitimate, and it is not "both sides": it lies on one side, the law and order, which has the duty of Use for the common good. It was felt, however, a soft condemnation of the riots, a recognition of the legitimacy of violence among thugs, as if they had been right to loot everything in their path after the death of the young Villanueva, a death that I repeat, there are still nothing.

For those who evoke the fictitious "police brutality" is pleasant to identify deaths that occurred during police operations SPVM over the years, as was the case in La Presse, they do deserve one thing: that the enclave city of Montreal and that we suspend the practice of law in the territory for an indefinite period. No police, no patrol, no guns, no "police brutality", "racial profiling" and other ignominies occidentalo-centrists. Nothing. That dialogue and openness between "citizens of diverse origins." The bikeways, picnics, workshops MNI (editor's note: Institut du nouveau monde).

As for us, fucking rednecks "ethnic" as we are, it will install on the other side of the river, with our binoculars and our sales rifles. Cell phone and walki-talkie in hand, we will then have ample time to discuss different issues with the techno-progressive remained on the ground: "openness to the world", "inclusion", "intercultural mediation", "No - Violence ", etc.. It is possible that the conversation is frequently interrupted because of fires and Molotov cocktails, which can damage the telecommunications infrastructure, but it is a detail. Nothing could prevent the dialogue. The dialogue is eternal and invincible…

The power of the media now dominates political power, to such an extent that it can be said of the media, with Elizabeth Levy and Philippe Cohen, they are able "to shape reality." This would explain the bias of the media for the rioters and their false neutrality compassionate for police. When the media bring to the fore the emotional abuse of a parent bereaved mother, who cries out vengeance on the front page of all newspapers, and they collect 24 hours later the fruits of their staging with riots télégéniques more than ever, they do more than "cover the event": they create it.

In their essay on journalism, Our business has gone wrong (Thousand and One Nights, 2008), Levy and Cohen describe journalism as a "belief", which is still under the auspices of progressivism: "From the standpoint of journalism , They write, the past is necessarily wrong, and the future necessarily desirable, even that power is suspect and challenge its legitimacy. "With this in mind that journalism has become unfit to embody the critical judgement to him is historically allowed. The SPVM necessarily messed up, it is obvious doubt, even if nothing is known of the death of Villanueva, it must be assumed that the authorities have acted badly and that the riots are based largely on a sociological causality, data décryptables in terms of social progressivism. By contrast, it never does come to mind that this is the systematic power among the rioters, who could be the whole problem in this case. For the present reality in this light, for the media, would eventually undermine the "progressive consensus" which they are rightly their bread and milk.

The rioters are too good Show to be like that, overnight, disqualified as a key protagonists of the media spotlight. They are matamores, criminals, bandits, but never mind: we will give them a psychological depth that they have not, we will scrutinize their past, find family photos; short, we will tell a story . The victimary lobbies will remake a health, media-progressive consensus will appeal to more money for community organizations, schools and other therapies fariboles; "ethnic Quebecers" will once again be rehabilitated; ethnic activists will denounce the "racism" the police are still trying to cover the same friendliness and, who knows, a clown nose to patrol; demagogues will continue to fuel the powder keg, and then it will be a rendezvous in Côte-des-Neiges, within five years, for a new episode of the show.
