"Where'd This Frenchman Get a Gun?" (FTTxJT Mon 102626 hr4)

So a couple of things going on.

The French mistake, Paris gunman drive-by attack over the weekend.

According to the authorities, they are calling it a terror attack targeting black people and Arabs, quote unquote, for revenge over the riots.

gunman in Paris.

One person was killed, five others injured over the weekend in a drive-by shooting, which police say is a terror attack at a gas station.

Main suspect named Kevin T. I don't know if that's his whole name or if that's just the way the French report it in Le Monde.

claimed he targeted black people specifically because he was, quote, fed up with them, said the authorities of his statements to them.

He cited looted and destroyed shops in the French capital, some of the worst the country has seen in the past year.

Police arrested the suspect while he was driving away and then he allegedly confessed to having racist ideology, says the police.

A submachine gun and tear gas canisters were seized from his car as well as cocaine.

His blood tested positive for cannabis and cocaine.

Police sources told Le Monde that the man has maintained a stoic and unbothered attitude while he was being cuffed.

And these are the same authorities that did nothing when the stores were looted.

Is the narrative here now it's okay to loot the stores because reparations? And what do you say if you are a store owner in France? if the attitude is such that, what do they say, c'est la vie? One of my favorite memes over the weekend was a statement from the French authorities saying that these were not riots last weekend because they can only be held in the region known as Rio, that they're just sparkling civil disobedience if they come from any other region of France.

Our first things this morning, Brazil is embroiled in an election dispute as the votes were cast in the presidential runoff over the weekend.

The president called the Supreme Court justice and said, we need to keep the polls open for two more hours.

We don't know why specifically, but he did get 51.8% of the votes.

defeating his opponent Flavio Bolsonaro.

So Lula da Silva is re-elected.

The 81-year-old will remain president for now, but Bolsonaro has not conceded defeat, saying the last-minute call to extend voting hours for two hours was unprecedented.

Meanwhile, voting issues here in the United States, Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals was called into an emergency session over the weekend to hear arguments that the U.S. Department of Justice threats to the election officials if they don't hold any ballots of citizens on a 20,000-person list of people whose citizenship, let's just say, might not be complete, is unconstitutional, that they don't have the authority to it, and it's weird timing.

I guess it's better than waiting until two hours before the votes are finished being counted.

The United States and Canada are close to a trade agreement, according to Kevin Hassett on Fox News over the weekend.

He said negotiations have accelerated between the neighbors, adding that Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick had been speaking with Canadian officials throughout the previous week.
