The French government has faced criticism for its response to Legion 88's activities. While the group has been subject to several investigations and bans, many argue that more needs to be done to address the root causes of hate crimes against the Manouche community.
The most notable case is the 2011 murder of a Manouche man, who was beaten to death by a group of Legion 88 members. The perpetrators used racist slurs and boasted about their actions on social media, sparking widespread outrage and condemnation.
The phrase "Tuer Du Manouche" is a chilling reflection of Legion 88's violent intentions towards the Manouche community. There have been several reported cases of Legion 88 members attacking and murdering Manouche people, often using brutal and racist language to justify their actions.
