“Don’t hesitate to shoot in the head”: on Radio Nova, a comedian calls to “catch” big bosses at home and discloses the addresses of Bernard Arnault and Vincent Bolloré

A call for violence that goes badly. A comedian from Radio Nova, a media located on the far left and owned by French billionaire Matthieu Pigasse, disclosed Wednesday evening during a column the personal addresses of several big French bosses, including Bernard Arnault and Vincent Bolloré, calling to “catch” them at home during the current demonstrations.

The column, produced by comedian Pierre Metzger and hosted by presenter Akim Omiri, took place in public during the show “La Riposte” on Wednesday evening, before being rebroadcast on the Radio Nova YouTube channel. The home addresses were partially “paged” in the video, but were revealed live on Wednesday evening.

“Matignon is used to harbor parasites”

“There are students who have talked about organizing a demonstration and a march in front of the Matignon hotel (…) Matignon is used to harbor parasites, not answers. We shouldn't even calculate our ministers (...) What's the point of going to demonstrate in front of (the Prime Minister) Lecornu's house, when at **, rue de *******, you have Bernard Arnault's private mansion?", Pierre Metzger first asked, displaying "a few proposals" in reference to a previous column on the "legitimation of violence in the demonstrations".

“Wait, say the address again, I didn’t hear it correctly!”, said host Akim Omiri, to the laughter of the audience. “Some people want the digital code?”, continued Pierre Metzger. “2000 m² of living space. We can even hold a demonstration in the apartment. It's so big that you could get stuffed in these toilets. Forget Matignon, when we know where the owners of the country are, we are not going to demonstrate in front of the mutt’s doghouse,” he added to applause.

“We put a little sliding tie knot around his neck”

But Pierre Metzger did not stop there. “I have the vision. We leave from ****'s villa where we catch Bolloré. Yeah, that's his address. I don’t want the video to skip, so I’m going to say that we’re going to catch him and make guillies at him,” he continued, before continuing with violent innuendoes by emphasizing certain words. “We’re giving him a pap KEY. We put a little sliding tie knot around his NECK so that he is presentable,” he said, miming the gesture of a slip knot. “And we make a first stop in the **** arrondissement at Bernard Arnault’s, making Vincent laugh as much as possible under his window. There, we TAP bars with both of them, and we TAP so hard that they end up telling Lecornu to listen to us.”

The comedian also called for demonstrations to continue “at the Matignon head office, Medef, at *****. I give the addresses, I am a scumbag (an informer, Editor’s note) but an aligned scumbag.” “I still don’t want to blow up the video so I’m going to say we’re giving the prisoners a huge dodge ball. It’s a game so don’t hesitate to shoot in the head,” he said, the host still laughing. Pierre Metzger finally called for a detour “to the ***, where we catch the boss of BPI France (…) As we are not violent, we disguise him as a young person, we write ACAB (“All cops are bastards”, an anarchist slogan Editor’s note) on his forehead and we throw him into a CRS cordon. Now you can celebrate in front of this huge human piñata.”
