2nd Night Of Riots In Switzerland After Congolese Teen Dies, Right-Wing Politician Targeted In Lynching Attack

Via Remix News,

Quiet and prosperous Switzerland also now has its migrant riots to contend with. In the Swiss city of Lausanne, riots have now broken out for a second night after a 17-year-old Congolese youth died during a police chase. During the first night of unrest, a right-wing politician was targeted by a large group of youths, who nearly lynched him.

At 10:00 p.m. last night., approximately 150 to 200 people set up roadblocks and began burning containers and garbage cans. They also severely damaged a bus.

Officers were hit with Molotov cocktails, paving stones, and construction fences, along with other objects, according to police.

Police hit the rioters with tear gas and rubber bullets to control the unrest. No injuries were reported.

The unrest followed similar attacks the night before, which saw a smaller crowd of about 100 youths, who partook in the rioting.

During that night, a Swiss People’s Party (SVP) politician, Thibault Schaller, was targeted in a lynching attack, which was caught on video.

He wrote on X that he approached the unrest because he was curious what was going on. Upon getting closer, some individuals, whom he said he believed to be Antifa, recognized and confronted him.

“They ordered me to leave. I refused and asked what was happening. One pushed me, I pushed him back then stepped back. Someone shouted something, and 10, 15 people came running at me from everywhere. I ran away, took hits. They blocked my path, I fell, protected myself. I got up, ran, got surrounded again against a wall, then took blows. Then, I managed to get away by running. I’m fine, but we really need to take back this city,” Schaller wrote.

In the video, Schaller is seen being chased by a large group of individuals, who kick him on the ground. Schaller continuously gets up and is able to elude the group and eventually get away.

One of the individuals called him “a fascist” during the attack.

The riots began after the death of 17-year-old Marvin M., a Swiss citizen with Congolese roots.

Police say they pursued him while he drove a stolen scooter on Sunday night. He died when he crashed his scooter into a garage door.

Marvin M.’s mother claimed her son is “not a scooter thief,” and “not a bandit,” in an interview with 24Heures.

She said he was a passionate rapper, with his group stating it does not condone the violence taking place in the city after his death.

Schaller wrote on X that the police were not to blame for the teenager’s death and that “this tragedy could have been avoided. He just had to listen to the police.”

The city was “held hostage by a handful of thugs,” he further wrote.
