The wife of a French bus driver who was beaten to death after he asked 4 passengers to wear face masks aboard his vehicle called Saturday for “exemplary punishment” for his killers.

Veronique Monguillot said she told the minister, Gerald Darmanin, that she and their three daughters were “destroyed” by the attack on her husband at a bus stop in Bayonne, southwest France.

“We must bang a fist on the table, so this never happens again,” she said. “It’s barbaric, not normal. We must stop this massacre.” The Bayonne prosecutor said Monguillot was assaulted after he asked four passengers on his No. 810 bus to wear face coverings, which are required aboard French public transport because of

. The driver was insulted, pushed off the bus and violently beaten and kicked in the head, the prosecutor said.“This bus driver was only doing his job,” Darmanin said. “He left his home in the morning and did not come back, leaving a widow and three orphan girls. It is an absolutely odious act.” France has battled hard to tame its coronavirus outbreak, which saw over 208,000 confirmed infections and over 30,000 virus-related deaths, according to a tally by Johns Hopkins University. Experts say the true toll is higher, due to testing limitations and missed mild cases.

Where are their masks?

This is the crap the world puts up with because there are no consequences to criminal behavior.

Madame la Guillotine!

great job, pandemocrats

Bring back the guillotine!

The 2 ladies walking there are hot! LOL

X4 Enough Said

How barbaric. Six million years of evolution, and this is where we are.

Whoa 😮🤭😢

What the hell is happen to the world? Total insanity.

The anti masks movement has moved into Europe. I wonder who is behind this propaganda ?

So much anger, murder and hatred over a piece of cloth. Unbelievable. 😢

when the victim is white and the race of the attacker is not easily found, you can bet anything that the attacker is also not white. this is just speculation but its based on countless examples of the media doing it. these are the stories the media hides from you.

Oh France... 🤦🏿‍♂️

Why people don't wear mask they know that it is for safety for them shame on people who don't wear mask 😡😡😡 RIP bus driver

... I'm not against that

It appears “the stupid” is international.

A man was beaten to death by black because of his hat.

Call a counselor, nazi mentality is rediculious.

😳🤬

How terrible

Omg, I feel so sorry for his wife and family. RIP

MalcolmNance So rabid, nutso no-maskers exist beyond U.S. borders. Like COVID-19. Two threats to humanity.

This makes me furious 😡 Singer_ChristyL

Trumpers

Rest in peace to this man. Fuck the men who killed him.

trump_turtle I hope she gets her wish.

And the photo of the protestors? No masks?

Poor guy, killed for doing his job and trying to keep his passengers safe. Far to much mindless violence nowadays.

MalcolmNance Condolences and prayers to this man's family. Throw them under the jail!

Justice needs to be done for the family and the people of France. No taxpayer money should be spent on the accused defence.

This is so sad. 💔

MalcolmNance Man is that nuts! Sounds like all Hell is breaking loose?

MalcolmNance lifesafeast

Heartbreaking

MalcolmNance Over a fcking mask these people would be the first to get got in the zombie apocalypse.

MalcolmNance Another sad story. His family is right calling their behavior barbaric. Wonder how they felt immediately after beating this man & then realized he was dead. Wonder why, if there were other passengers, some didn't intervene. Wonder how those passengers families are feeling.

They've still got Carlos the Jackal stuffed in hole somewhere, I'm sure they can find somewhere creative to house these monsters.

MalcolmNance So there are anti maskers in France , too! Beat him to death! All involved should get the death penalty

MalcolmNance I thought we were the only ones. A pandemic gives birth to another pandemic.

MalcolmNance Well, at least the United States hasn’t cornered the market on COVIDiots.

MalcolmNance So friends and family memorialize him by not wearing masks?

This is where we are now.

MalcolmNance I'm not sure what an 'exemplary' punishment would be, but I tend to agree with the victim's wife

MalcolmNance This is TrumpsFaultToo

MalcolmNance Madness.

littlesueellis I’m so, so sorry for the family. What the hell is wrong with people

littlesueellis the west is fucked up

trump supporters in France.

How about JessicaWhitaker ? When you guys gonna do the story on her?

I'm looking everywhere to see the photos and names of the suspects, because I'm curious if they were police. No photos anywhere. Could this be the media hiding that it was cops?

Condolence to all

And this is the crap some crap people post - Logan is a sprint store manager.

What! Like bring back the guillotine? Swishhh - chop!!

Sad 😢

No mention of the perpetrators?

Waiting for the American cosplaytriots who don’t have the capacity to understand how dangerous being unsafe is to do things like this. 😷

Prayerful! Sympathy to his family.

Qu'ils pourrissent en enfer et que leurs globes oculaires soient lentement mangés par des asticots remplis de puss

brianwhelanhack Fucking savages

Why does it say absolutely nothing about the attackers?

What is wrong with people ! RIP sir . Sympathy to his family🙏🏼❤️

No mention of the perpetrators nationality religious or political affiliation. Wonder why. The French are not generally known for this kind of conduct.

my condolences to the family

ppl need to stop hating all over the world ppl need to comply with the law

The guillotine back?

USTR announces duties on $1.3B in French goods in tax disputeThe Trump administration announced a 25 percent tariff on $1.3 billion worth of French handbags, cosmetics and soaps in retaliation for a digital services tax on U.S. internet giants I don’t believe IT tech giants deserve such retaliation from Trump. All of them are Never Trumpers. But who knows: maybe they will appreciate the move and will encourage Americans to vote 🗳 for Trump. Interesting politics. Will see what happens. Tariffs do nothing but raise prices on purchases by American buyers but the Donald knows more than everybody Why does Trump need so many new tariffs? Has he figured out a way to funnel those extra money (paid by U.S. customers)?
