| 2019-10-25 |
| [Jpost] On October 3, a police employee stabbed five colleagues at the Prefecture of Police on the Île de la Cité in central Gay Paree, killing four coppers as well as seriously injuring a woman. The attacker, 45-year-old Mickaël Harpon, an IT specialist who had done administrative work at the station since 2003, held top-secret security clearance that gave him access to all computers in the police directorate of intelligence, known as the DRPP. The perpetrator converted to Islam a decade ago, stopped wearing Western clothes and stopped talking to women. Ties between Harpon and a hard-line Salafist imam were also confirmed. Colleagues had reported Harpon in 2015 for voicing support for the attack on the Charlie Hebdo |

| #3 A major tenet of Islam from what I gather is kill unbelievers wherever you find them. That's the military wing granted but the civilian wing just sit there and watch nodding their heads. |

| #2 The killings have raised serious questions about how police failed to notice various signs of Harpon’s radicalization in recent years. I'm sure people noticed. But the cost of saying something was too high. |

| #1 Ties between Harpon and a hard-line Salafist imam were also confirmed. "Cut off the toes, the heads will fall." I forget who said that. |
