French nationalist, 23, fighting for life after lynching by 40 Antifa extremists
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
A young French nationalist is unlikely to survive after being ambushed and brutally beaten by a mob of Antifa militants in a savage attack being condemned as a “lynching” in France .
The 23-year-old mathematics student, identified only as Quentin D so far, is in an induced coma after suffering a brain haemorrhage from being knocked to the ground and kicked “with extreme violence” by the crowd of 30 to 40 far-left extremists in the city of Lyon on Friday evening.
Family and friends said his condition was “hopeless”, and that “if he survives, it would be a miracle and he would suffer irreversible after-effects”, Le Figaro reported.
Quentin was among about 15 young men providing informal security to right-wing feminist organisation Collectif Némésis , which held a peaceful demonstration with a banner saying “Islamo-leftists out” near a conference by far-left Member of the European Parliament Rima Hassan.
Collectif Némésis said in a statement translated to English that Quentin’s attackers were wearing reinforced gloves and armed with pepper spray, and kicked him after his head had struck the pavement when he was knocked to the ground, and identified one as belonging to violent anti-fascist group The Young Guard.
The group said Quentin had been declared “in a state of brain death”, and that “last rites were administered to him by a priest”.
Videos shared on social media of far-left violence on the night show a small group of women being surrounded and attacked, and another woman being put in a headlock and thrown to the ground.
Le Figaro journalist Paul Sugy wrote on X that witnesses told him media reports of “clashes” were false, and that the smaller right-wing group was ambushed, chased and “lynched” by the masked Antifa group, and confirmed the attackers were wearing “knuckle-duster gloves”.

Sadly, he succumbed to his injuries.
Criticizing the left is a dangerous business.
But how do you get lynched by an "idea"
It's sad that some people haven't got a fucking clue and apparently believe there is now some global organization recruiting people called "ANTIFA". Of course, those who attacked this guy were members of an actual group that apparently the American conservative morons don't want to mention because that might cloud their narrative. These fuckers were members of a group called "The Young Guard" and they should be held accountable for their crimes. Being a dumb fuck American conservative desperate to tie this around the necks of Americans who also dislike fascists is beyond dishonest, it's fucking STUPID. But then again, I suppose we shouldn't be surprised considering the source.
Are you calling Biden a liar?
Biden Says Antifa Is ‘An Idea, Not An Organization’ during Presidential Debate
Also the guy died from being punched and kicked by 6 individuals, not lynched by 40.
Does being lynched by at least six people make it acceptable?
No. Does lying about what happened make it worse?
Does lying about what happened make it worse?
Only you can answer if misquoting the BBC article makes you a liar.
I'd be terribly sad if I actually knew someone in person who was this fucking dense. Yes, ANTIFA is a fucking 'idea', it's not a group as some brain-dead bigots with their heads' up Trumps ass appear to believe. I don't have to belong to any group to be anti-fascist. I could belong to a group, but I don't, and I'm still anti-fascist. These dipshits were part of some foreign group called "The Young Guard" and they also claim to be anti-fascist. Does that make me a member of "The Young Guard"? FUCK NO!!! Only complete fucking morons would believe such hilariously stupid shit as that.
So back to why this stupid piece of propaganda article is a waste of time and is extremely dishonest as it attempts to paint Americans who happen to hate fascists (really sad when we have to actually differentiate the conservative fascist lovers and the liberal and progressive fascist haters) as out of control foreign anti-fascist extremists. I guess conservatives who've been trying to weasel their way into power again by sucking any dripping fascist cock they can find scored big when they got their mouths around Trumps mushroom.

Lol, the hatred in some of these posts is over the top.
Biden doesn't live in Europe.
In many European countries the opposite of neo-nazis are antifa; the difference between antifa the USA and antifa in Europe is that they are well organized and well known to the police. The Nazis are the white nationalists purists while the antifa believe everyone should have equal rights.
They are both considered terrorists because of the damage they do to each other.
Europe & American are not the same.
Especially in a country that allows Islamists to have their own enclaves.
Assuming you're talking about France, nothing could be further from the truth. You've never been to France, right?
I come with facts:
"While not a complete safe-haven for al Qaeda-type operatives, Paris and other French cities have become more fertile places for Muslim extremists in the past decade. City leaders have allowed virtual Islamic mini-states to thrive as Muslims gain power to govern in their own way."
French Islamist mini-states grow into problem out of government control | Washington Times
You come with a more than 11 year old article from a publication that specializes in fake right wing conspiracy theories, and that also requires a subscription to read.
Facts:
In 2010, France outlawed the wearing in public of full-face coverings such as the type worn by Islamist women. In 2021, the French Senate banned the hijab for girls under 18 in public spaces. In 2023, a new rule banned abayas in classrooms. Some consider these rules to be so stringent as to violate human rights.
.
In 2020, France announced a law against religious “separatism” aimed at freeing Islam in France from “foreign influences”... The measures include placing mosques under greater control and requiring that imams are trained and certified in France ... Associations found to be pushing ideas contrary to republican ideals could be ordered to disband...
You've never been to France, and what you claim to know about France is based solely on right wing extremist propaganda. I've been to France four times, most recently for two weeks in June of 2025. France does NOT allow Islamists to have their own enclaves. You've also never been to California, but that has never stopped you from expressing opinions about California about which you know absolutely nothing.
I think a lot of these rightwing conservatives cum with lies. It's why Donald is so popular among them.
Frankly, these scum bags don't even know what America is or represents anymore, they've deluded themselves into thinking 'might makes right' and that we should just bomb any nation (other than Russia) that resists American dominance and shoot in the face or back any Americans who dare to express their constitutional right to protest.
It's time we stop even trying to make excuses for these tired worthless rightwing religious conservative scum bag bigots. We've never needed them; they're just vestigial parts our nation is better off without. They are a gangrene that is poisoning our nation, and the head of the cancer is in the oval office. We either cut out the cancer or our constitutional Republic dies.
"Well, Doctor, what have we got, a republic or a monarchy?" - Elizabeth Willing Powel
“A republic, if you can keep it.” - Benjamin Franklin
“In these sentiments, Sir, I agree to this Constitution, with all its faults, if they are such; because I think a General Government necessary for us, and there is no form of government, but what may be a blessing to the people if well administered; and believe further, that this is likely to be well administered for a course of years, and can only end in despotism, as other forms have done before it, when the people shall become so corrupted as to need despotic government.” - Benjamin Franklin
The "people" have become corrupt as we can see by their wonton election of a convicted felon and sexual predator. They have abandoned all sense and made a mockery of the constitution and are currently pissing in the face of our founders, and yet the Republican congress and senate stand by, eyes closed, silently approving because their rabid dumb fuck constituents have them by the balls and they fear displeasing the bigots and poorly educated rubes surrounding them with metaphorical pitch forks and torches. Very sad days for America.

That would be a first.
I have no faith that we are not headed in the same direction. It seems many on the left have a propensity for violence as shown with the 2020 summer of love and the current ice riots. And it seems no one is being held accountable in many of the left run shithole cities.
Is Trump going to send ICE?
And people claim TDS doesn't exist....
They also claim antifa doesn't exist so...........
Even though there is no official diagnosis of TDS, I remember not so long ago a psychologist that said more than half of his clients showed obvious signs of what would be TDS if it were a diagnosis.
Tose with TDS immediately attacked him for saying the truth.
And some people claim left wing loons are so dangerous they have to find some obscure news item halfway across the world to support their biases.
No... they claim Antifa is a loose knit group of assholes with no central core directing funding or operations. It's a bunch of imature idiots that put on black clothing and walk around looking for trouble. They are as bad and as smart as the the people they claim to oppose.
Oh it exists, but not as the right wing claim.
TDS are indicated by people who believe that Trump never has, and never will do anything wrong and feel the need to protect him from issues, from violating the Constitution to pedophilia.
Making the lynching of a man in France by anti-fa about Trump is TDS.
I doubt they have trump devotion syndrome.
You find the lynching of a man in France, a supposed democracy, "obscure news?"
Wow.
Can you name some people who believe this personally?
You have been on NT long enough to know the names of the users defending Trump, for things up to and including pedophilia.
I have never seen anyone defend Trump on your imaginary vision of pedophilia.
Care to let us know who you are referring to?
Afterall, you made the claim.
I haven't seen anything that says lynching. Both articles I saw say he was beaten to death. Did I miss something?
It's considered a lynching, liking Emmitt Till. Except this involved more people.
How does that work, exactly? Serious question. I thought lynchings required an actual noose.
It often does involve hanging, but targeted mob violence is considered lynching as well. Per the state of Virginia, which was the first definiton that came up on google:
This must be projection.
Epstein literally dictated questions to a Democratic Congresswoman during a hearing and Democrats are fine with it.
Have Democrats returned any of the millions they've taken from Reid Hoffman?
Turning 6 guys beating three men, where one died, into 40 guys lynching a single guy makes a terrible news article into ragey click-bait.
It's France Jack, Faggot means cigarette, lynching means killed without a trial, not a rope over a tree limb.
Emmitt Till was beaten to death by two men.
Was it ragey click bait to make it into a national story? Do you shake with rage that people still presume to talk about it 70 years later?
Although it is interesting you keep dishonestly claiming it was six people when even your own source doesn't claim that.
Is there not a 'news' site further far-right than 'The Noticer' to 'entertain' us?
so far, the left here has responded to the lynching of a man by antifa by bitching about Trump, the source covering it and even objecting to the very coverage of someone in a supposed first world democracy being lynched for his political views.
Outstanding performance. Better than even I thought.
ANTIFA is an idea, not a group, not a man, and has no hidden agenda. It is the right wing that choses to make ANTIFA a label and assign it as they see fit.
You might want to tell that to the author of 1.1.1. Looks like you are calling his post a lie. Which is it?
Are they a group or an idea?
There are numerous news sites reporting on the incident, why sellect the least trustworthy of them?
You might want to actually read it. We are not conflicting each other.
All the others are "fake news"?
Your definition of conflict is the opposite of reality.
My post stands as correct.
Oh good, then it did happen.
Why do you oppose people who oppose fascism?
Oh... so if Trump called himself the leader of the anti-bad people party, than anyone who opposed him would be a bad person.
Psst.. the people who are lynching people for speaking their mind are the fascists...
I don't know which is worse, using a Questionable source for an article
or having supporting articles from 11 years ago by another Questionable source.
The Noticer is a public affairs office for neo Nazis where ever they reside, Australia or Europe.
So, you are going with the, "I know you are but what am I" argument...got it.
Lol. That's it? Whining about sources? At least when you are praising a group founded by German Stalinists for "supporting equal rights for everyone" you generate some laughs.
Now you are just offering the laziest of deflections.
Try again.
It appears the Noticer is not eligible to used as seed on Newstalkers
The yellow dot is in the arrow
Which source? Previously you challenged someone to believe the BBC without evidence of any link to the BBC that I saw.
Now who exactly was the Group founded by the German Stalinists/ Antifa?
Antifa is now some bogey man started by Stalin in 1920 to fight left wing fascists to help Hitler's right wing fascists rise to power? Maybe.
Now over a hundred years new groups claiming to be "Antifaschistische Aktion" are no more the real deal than Southerners waving the Confederate Flag makes them members of the CSA.
The Young Guard fancied itself an anti fascist revision of Napolean's Old Guard; they were established in 2018 and outlawed by the French Government in 2025.
Antifa is the general term in Europe for "not neo Nazi".
Better than the laziest dumpster fire articles.
Locked for violating the MBFC.
