The Spin

Left narrative

The disparity between the money raised for Nahel versus the officer who slayed him speaks volumes about how France has not reckoned with the racist society that led to his death. This fund risks instigating more violence, and the far-right provocateur behind it knows exactly what he's doing with this venture. GoFundMe needs to remove this fundraiser for the sake of public safety and to help France heal from the wounds of discrimination.

The National

Right narrative

What happened to Nahel was tragic, but nothing justifies the widespread violence we've seen grip the country. The officer accused should not be crucified before facing a court of law, and a civilized nation cannot make decisions based on "woke" mob rule. We need peace, now more than ever, so that the real work can begin. Even the grandmother of Nahel has spoken out against the senseless violence, as none of this destruction can bring him back.
