12 Dead in Daytime Paris Attack at Satirical Magazine

[David Guyatt]

Here is a video of the execution of Amedy Coulibaly. It is a German website with the actual live French video of the police assault on the deli. There are three videos. The first one repeatedly shows Coulibaly with tied hands containing no weapons shot down and killed when he could easily have been captured. It is as if the order was to make sure that there is no live suspect whose story might have to be explained away. The first video also repeatedly shows the execution in slow motion. Commentary in French accompanies the video.

I saw this earlier in this thread. Having watched it carefully many times, I think the assault from the second entrance around the corner and out of sight, was probably the key one. Once the electronic roller shut goes up (who pressed the button for that to happen?) one policeman with a tactical shield goes in. This is followed by an awful lot of shooting. Too much to have come from the doorway we are watching, imo. And then Coulibaly comes out and very clearly has plasticuffs or some other restraints on his wrists. And is shot dead for the camera.

This raises very many questions. How long had he been restrained? For me this whole event happened far too quickly for a member of the police (presumably the reason why the one with the tactical shield entered the store?) to disarm him and cuff him and then send him out to his death. I provisionally conclude he was under control and restrained before the roller shutter even went up. This was a show execution.

And if this analysis is correct, or close to being correct, the question then looms large. Why?

Mr. Blue eyes and his brother are buried at sea - so to speak. No images of their deaths or the assault. No real images of them except those outside of Charlie Hedbo and the next corner - where they stopped the getaway car to get out and shout slogans,, get in, shoot up a cop car and disappear for good - with the exception of a"reports" of holding up a petrol station - but no pics from the cameras at that petrol station.

There are far too many inconsistencies in the whole story, frankly. Let's remember that a third man was named as the getaway driver - until it was proven beyond doubt this couldn't be the case. The killing of the policewoman on the same day, reported by the police as being unconnected to the Charlie Hedbo attack, but then, the next day, when Coulibaly comes out to play for his friends (the two brothers), the death of the policewoman is suddenly attributed to him.
