Chindie Posted September 7, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted September 7, 2012 My first thought was that it was another right wing extremist targeting a forign Arab looking family. It will be interesting to see what comes out. My instant reaction to the news was similar - xenophobic nutter killing some tourists. I'd probably pitch my tent in the 'the father got into some trouble with the wrong people' camp. The brother line will turn out to be someone he worked with going to the police saying he'd heard him talk about having some disagreement with the brother over money/investments/property/business... which will eventually turn out to be something entirely minor.

It will be interesting to see what comes out. That wouldn't explain why the passing cyclist / witness was taken down. Might watch Canal5 later and see what news is or isn't emanating.

peterms Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 I'd probably pitch my tent in the 'the father got into some trouble with the wrong people' camp. Well, since the father was shot to death, it seems true beyond a shadow of a doubt that he got into trouble with the wrong people. But the interesting questions are about which people, and what trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterms Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 It will be interesting to see who the Sewdish woman is. First reports said she was the mother-in-law, but the French police at today's press conference were at pains to tell journalists they don't know, and that no assumptions should be made. The surviving 4-year old reportedly says she doesn't know her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CI Posted September 7, 2012 Author Share Posted September 7, 2012 25 bullet cartridges confirmed at the scene. Guess they pumped all the windows out to prevent anyone driving off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterms Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 It would also be interesting to know why they were going up that road to begin with, not that we ever will. It's a dead end forestry road, signposted in English as a dangerous road (got that bit right) with driving prohibited 3km up from the sign.

CrackpotForeigner Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Yeah, it's a dead end alright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CI Posted September 7, 2012 Author Share Posted September 7, 2012 Probably instructed to go up there under some false pretense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshVilla Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Or maybe they were being chased I know if i were being chased by people with guns a dead end wouldnt stop me id plough through walls or hedgerows to get away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CI Posted September 7, 2012 Author Share Posted September 7, 2012 No chance, a chase would have probably ended in a crash or at least some bodywork damage. This was a professional hit, windows, tyres shot out, passing witness taken down. We are talking clam calculated and measured executions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eel get crabby if you mussel in on his post like that. Anyway, if you want to take that line, there's a finite quota of fish jokes we have to get through before normal service is resumed. So, back on topic, do you think they'd have got away if the car had been turbot-charged? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PompeyVillan Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 We are talking clam calculated and measured executions.There's definitely something fishy going on. It's a religious hate crime, they were killed for worshipping the wrong cod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrackpotForeigner Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 do you think they'd have got away if the car had been turbot-charged?I'd say it was the sole reason they didn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that's a bit of a red herring. The police are floundering and looking in all the wrong plaices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
