    As protesters burn French cities, Macron grooves at an Elton John concert in Paris


    The President of France in these shots is in a great mood, he enjoys music with his wife and dances a little.


    The footage was shared on social networks by Italian model Bianca Brandolini

    A Nike store was looted and emptied. Should point at the demographic of the criminals that are causing all the havoc.

    Last night, 1,900 cars were set on fire in France. This is more than during the riots of November 7, 2005, when 1408 cars were set on fire.

    French authorities reported that 500 structures were burned overnight, and the scale of the riots was broader than in 2005.

    She ( the mother) said the 38-year-old officer responsible, who was detained and charged with voluntary manslaughter on Thursday, “saw an Arab face, a little kid, and wanted to take his life”.
    according to the french press, there was ample justification for the police stopping the lad. it seems he was a bit of a toerag.

    he was 17 and he was driving a new mercedes. he had no licence and he had no insurance.

    he had been stopped previously that evening and as he was being questioned he floored his accelerator and zoomed off.

    he was later stopped again and once more he zoomed off. this time he was shot by the police.

    anybody being questioned by police, especially the french police who like the american police and in fact many other police forces employ thugs and bullies with complex personality defects, and the uniform gives them free rein to indulge the nastier sides of their psyche.

    but why someone would stupidly drive off for a second time, especially with a gun pointed at them from less than one foot away remains a mystery.


    none of this detracts from the inexcusable action of the policeman who killed him of course, if they perceived him to be a danger to the public they could have shot his tyres out, or just shot him in the arm, but as i said, street police are often thuggish bullies with a racist streak thrown in and it is never wise to provoke them, especially if your skin is of a darker hue.

    Whatever are you on about? The police can't just shoot someone because they try to leg it. Surprised they hadn't got to stage 1, "Please turn off the ignition".

    Algerian? That's practically a frog anyway...

    Troy I've got news for you, that is exactly what they did.

    Have you bent your intellect to solve how the UK can admit all the economic migrants at 300k a year and still pay for them all or are you just being a lefty fuckwit like your mate Sympl

    you really are quite ignorant, old chap. It’s not that simple or easy. That only works in the movies.

    So I take it that it's a left- right thing in the UK (or you keep mentioning it)

    It's not that simple here.

    Most parties agree on the importance of control with who enters the country and with the EU failing at the outer southern borders, passport checks was done at the borders.

    Sweden did the same.

    They have more than enough of problems already.

    In Denmark there are softies emigrant wise on both left,centre and right and hardliners is all over the spectre too.

    Left is playing the "moral and right thing to do" card about the refugees.

    Right and centre wants more cheap labour and doesn't mind the social dumping. Cause they are arseholes


    And..
    I do not blame any emigrant for seeking a better future.

    Who wouldn't ?


    Britain is nice

    French police say ‘we are at war with vermin’ as they threaten revolt over rioting.

    British holidaymakers warned to watch out for curfews and travel restrictions as pressure grows on Macron to stop violence intensifying

    By
    Henry Samuel
    IN PARIS
    1 July 2023 • 5:10am

    French police said they were “at war” with “savage hordes of vermin” on Friday night as France was rocked by violent waves of riots and looting and about 1,000 more people were arrested.

    Two of the country’s top police unions threatened a revolt unless Emmanuel Macron’s government restored order after protests broke out over an officer’s shooting of a teenager outside Paris.

    “Today the police are in combat because we are at war. Tomorrow we will enter resistance and the government should be aware of this,” they said.

    It came as British travellers were warned about the risk of curfews and travel restrictions due to the spiralling upheaval and vandalism around France.


    A domestic intelligence note seen by Le Monde has warned riots could become increasingly “widespread” and go on for “the coming nights”.

    The French government announced on Friday that all major public gatherings that could “pose a risk to public order” would be banned. Various rock concerts have been pulled. Some 45,000 police were deployed.

    The Interior Ministry said 994 arrests were made during Friday night, with more than 2,500 fires. The night before, 917 people were arrested nationwide, 500 buildings targeted, 2,000 vehicles burned and dozens of stores ransacked.

    While the number of overnight arrests was the highest yet, there were fewer fires, cars burned and police stations attacked around France than the previous night, according to the Interior Ministry. Gerald Darmanin, France’s interior minister, claimed the violence was of “much less intensity”.

    Daily Telegraph
    well its good to see some straight talking police at last. if an officer from the london met described lawbreaking thieving and violent thugs in such terms he would be subjected to a massive internet pile on and soon lose his job and his pension.

    violent thugs they maybe, but poor old whitey cannot be allowed to speak the truth lest a thug feels besmirched.

    multi culturalism, dontcha just love it?

    I dont know about french police but Australian police are taught to shoot at the biggest target which of course is the torso. Just "winging" someone is for cowboy movies.

    Never mind, Les Grandes Vacances is imminent and the revolting peasants will give up soon not least because most cities and large towns will be closed and no one will give a fuck about Macron etc.

    a month ago a white madman stabbed a couple of toddlers for no reason in a playground in annecy, there was no rioting, no violence, no looting, just some tears from their mothers and candlelit vigils over the next few days.

    yet when a 17 year old arab criminal was shot by the police in paris, the country is burnt to the ground by an army of workshy parasites, the scum of islam, the ones that even iran, algeria and libya were very glad to see the back of, the ones who hate christians, jews, atheists, gays and everything about western culture, except the benefit system of course, with a vengeance and were welcomed to our shores as victims, as heroes.

    the rise of the global left with their political correctness, their liberal nonsense, their knee taking, their positive discrimination and their self hatred have been blindly feeding a monster that is now returning to devour its keepers.

    expect a nasty far right resurgence soon. madame le pen and her greyshirts must be licking their lips.

    p.s. rioting already reported in switzerland and belgium, and apparently somewhere in france a zoo has been trashed and wild animals are roaming free in the streets!

    happy days.

    Eye witness accounts (there were two passengers in the car) suggest one or both policemen hit the driver with the butts of their guns causing him to drive off.

    If you look at the video of the incident you can see one of the policemen appear to be hitting the driver a couple of times before he drives off.

    The policemen who shot the driver has already been charged with unlawful discharge of a firearm.

    fishing for what exactly?

    if you cant see what is happening, you are blind. rioters running amok shouting allah akhbar, heading for the nearest nike and louis vuiton stores.
    blaming everything on anybody but themselves. the lad who was shot was a criminal, and had been stopped earlier that evening and had driven off. if you have a thug cop pointing a gun in your face, you dont antagonise the situation.



    the message yesterday from the polish PM contrasting the riots in french cities with the calm normality in polish ones - perfectly shows the deep split in the EU.
    he said his dream would be for a europe of secure borders - security and public order - these are the values ​​from which everything else begins.

    france, germany, sweden and others have made the EU effectively ‘open borders’ through their attractive welfare policies (UK similar) and their obsession with not being thought of as racist.... racist towards a culture where the hatred and dislike of outsiders is second nature.

    poland and other states from the former eastern bloc are not so keen, they like secure borders, and resent brussels attempts to move the migrants that france, germany etc have attracted onto their territory.

    this is not likely to end well for EU harmony.
