Turkia then opens the window of his home, located on the ground floor and overlooking the street. "I saw a attacker throwing a glass bottle on my son. I did not believe right away that it was serious. I then heard Muhammad screaming "Mom." Then I understood. I shot to the killer "why ?"

He replied with one word in Arabic that suggested it was a gratuitous act.

Turkia then left home and saw a vehicle, a black car, with four people aboard, the suspect, two boys and a girl.

"I can not laugh. They even removed my smile," sadly peting Elvira, his dog. The animal was at his side on Monday, when Christopher was beaten. "I was in a bus with my dog and girlfriend, he says. We went to the city La Paternal, St. Joseph.

It is 5:30PM. Rush hour. The bus is crowded. As he stands up, Christophe shakes involuntarily, one passenger aged about fifty years. "You don't say pardon ?" The man calls out sharply.
Once outside, at the bus stop, the angry passenger comes back to him. "Oh, you don't say pardon ?" He insists.

"I'll send you kids!" the angry man threatens. Promise kept.

Meanwhile, other young people came on foot. "They came from behind. I received a blow on one side of my face, and a stone on the other," says Christopher. Distraught, he runs away. "But I then fell and there was barely beaten. An individual has even jumped on my stomach with both feet. I put myself into a ball and waited for it to stops. I really thought I would die."

A few meters away, his girlfriend attends the scene of violence helplessly. "If you let the dog free, you're dead," they warned.

"The police told me it was probably a pretext to beat me". "It's incredible" says Christopher. "They tried to kill me for nothing". "But where can we go ? In Paris, Marseilles, it gets worse day after day, these young people who attack people for nothing are everywhere."

Traumatized from his lynching, Christopher concedes "afraid of everybody in the street." "Whenever I see a youth group, I turn around" he says.
