France riots: 45,000 police deployed to restore order

[Tigerace117]

A demonstration is the language of the unheard, a riot is a mob with misdirected violence and mayhem.

Nope, MLK was specifically talking about riots.

Polish PM does have a point

 

[Desert Storm]

Things are relatively quiet tonight. Looks like its petering out

The French have a history of burning the system down and starting new

A costly way to change.

So, he was wrong.

 

[Lord Tammerlain]

A costly way to change.

Which means it is best to ensure the masses are happy as they will revolt if the system is too skewed towards the rich and powerful. The French are not as passive as Americans

In terms of immigration policies, France should be more like Denmark.

Denmark's increasingly harsh immigration policies

In the run-up to November 1 elections, few candidates dare to propose any relaxation of what are among Europe's harshest conditions for asylum seekers and immigrants.

The French paper LE MONDE shows a photo on the front page about an Apple store that has been vandalized.

For a moment i thought of real apples.

But of course it was a computer store.

Having had North African and Indo-Chinese colonies make the two countries somewhat different in that regard.

France has welcomed half a million asylum seekers in 2022. Let's hope the love is mutual

You attempted to equate France and Denmark, don’t change the tune mid song?

 

[EMNofSeattle]

All the protesters will accomplish by burning down private businesses is turn regular people into racists

I keep hoping that some day the indigenous people of a western country will regain their spine and will for collective self defense.

 

[EMNofSeattle]

Ah yes, use the entity and allow them to commit violence to subdue outrage that is a result of said entity committing violence and murdering a 17 year old. Gotta love how stupid the state and its leaders are across the world.

That kid who was trying to kill that cop had it coming. The problem really is that France is unwilling to engage in the solution, which is that all foreigners arrested in these riots will be deported no questions asked no appeal

 

[Paradoxical]

Wait, there are riots and fires are burning? It must be BLM and Antifa! Alert the French they've been invaded!

Aint globalism and DEI great?

This is exactly what we had in the United States with Antifa and BLM, all sanctioned, condoned, and encouraged by the Democratic party of Maxine Waters Kamala Harris, Nacy Pelosi, and Chuck Schumer saying that the death of ONE black person at the hands of a rogue cop was emblematic of systemic racism, meaning that blacks have a reason to burn down and loot stores of innocent business owners. In France Macron was ready and eager to blame the cops just like our leaders did here, showing his solidarity with the Muslim populace with the idea that his blaming the cops would put Macron on the side of the aggrieved poor innocent and picked on Muslims who only immigrated to France to assimilate and be part of and support the great French culture.

 

[Super Chief]

France has serious issues regarding discrimination toward its population of north African descent citizens

Those people immigrated to Europe, but they hate European values. Why did they come?

A necessary change. France needs a Sixth Republic, free from the centralization of power and all-mighty presidents that characterized de Gaulle’s system.

A lot came after Algeria was liberated from French colonialism, they were the collaborators. Others primarily from other countries France screwed over,

And why did they do that?
The word I'm looking for starts with a "p" and ends in a "g"

Saint Denis is the thing to see in the suburbs but I don't know what the situation is like in the area.

The historical areas are likely the most protected right now so you should be ok there.

Or you could stay in your hotel after dark.

For the same reason illegal immigrants come here. For better opportunities, and jobs. Many don't plan to stay forever, but then life happens, and it's hard for them to go back to their countries that offers them less.

You know most of the rioters are French citizens who have lived in the impoverished suburbs for generations right.

What does that have to do with what I wrote above though?

Because reading through this thread, many, including you, seem to be under the misconception that this is the result of unchecked immigration pouring into France, when it actually shows the stagnation of a post-industrialized and unevenly developed France where many from the former French colonies or immigrants in general struggle to assimilate and underlying social issues/general discontent is always brewing. In other words, more of the same.

Things seem to have become more qiet now.
But a lot of damage have been done!
