France Under Riot – The country is losing its capacity to control and suppress mayhem.

Some American visitors to my house in France have been impressed by a market in a small and beautiful town nearby: the quality of the local produce, the good humor and atmosphere of conviviality, in short, the savoir-vivre of which the market seemed to be so fine an example.

The night before, in the nearest town of any size or importance, rioters had injured three policemen, and another policeman was saved from murder only by his bulletproof vest.

Islamic subversion in America – It’s not yet insurrection, as in France, it is stealth Jihad that is a red light for America

“Abraham Lincoln said, “America will never be defeated from outside. If we falter and lose our freedom, it will come from the inside.”

Introduction

Never in my wildest dreams did I envision that my once very modern and beautiful country, Iran, would fall into the hands of Muslim extremists who did not possess one iota of humanity. Never in my wildest dream did I envision that I would likely never see the country of my birth again. My teenage years in Iran were full of joy, excitement, and happiness. Iran was a developing country. Despite its rapid growth and obstacles, almost all Iranians lived in a fairy tale. Life was beautiful, and dreams were real. Many of us were living in an absolute Iranian dream until the resurrection of the evil ideology of Islam by the vile men of Allah. In 1979, the Iranian dream turned into four decades of Islamic nightmares.

France riots: Why do the banlieues erupt time and time again?

When the poor French suburbs catch media attention, it is usually because they are up in flames.

The current conflagration is no exception. It was triggered by the killing of Nahel M, 17, after police say he failed to comply with an order to stop his car in Nanterre near Paris.

The tragedy has turned the spotlight again on the so-called “banlieues” – the suburbs of French cities – which have been hit by another wave of riots across France.

For some, the violence is the result of poverty and discrimination: entrenched social ills ensure that France’s bleak estates remain tinderboxes.

It’s a real mystery! I mean aside from the fact France has a violent non-integrated parallel society that despises the Republic’s values and seeks the nation’s destruction. Other than that it’s a real mystery.

France riots: £750,000 donated to policeman who killed Nahel Merzouk

Fundraising for the family of a French police officer who shot dead a teenager has attracted more than €900,000 (£770,000), far more than a similar campaign for the victim’s relatives.
The biggest fund, set up by Jean Messiha, an independent right-wing populist, has raised €860,000 from just shy of 40,000 donors, and another run by the policeman’s colleagues has raised more than €50,000. About €150,000 (£128,000) has been pledged to the family of Nahel Merzouk, who was shot dead in his car at point-blank range on Tuesday in a killing that prompted six nights of rioting.

Stop rioting, pleads Nahel Merzouk’s grandmother

A grandmother of the teenage boy killed by a policeman in a Paris suburb pleaded for an end to the violence after five nights of rioting in France.

French rioters set mayor’s home on fire while family sleeps inside & Animals roam Paris streets after Protesters Open Zoo

Rioters rammed a car into the home of a mayor in southern Paris before setting it on fire while his wife and children were sleeping.

Protesters chased Melanie Nowak and her two children behind the house and into the garden as the family tried to escape, in the latest example of fierce violence gripping France.

The mother suffered a serious leg fracture after trying to push her children over the wall that separates her garden from her neighbour’s backyard and was recovering in hospital on Sunday morning. One of the children was also injured.

Cars, libraries, supermarkets, residential areas were set on fire as France protests intensified amid the death of a teen. Amid all this, the protesters freed zoo animals in Paris which have since then been freely roaming around in the city.

‘We are seen as less human’: inside Marseille’s districts abandoned by the police

Inside, Emmanuel Macron was sharing a typically polished vision of a rejuvenated, safer Marseille. Yet it was outside the spruced-up gym in the impoverished Busserine district – tensions building on the hottest day of the year – where the real story was playing out.

Little more than 12 hours before the police killing of a 17-year-old boy 500 miles north in Nanterre would convulse the country, scores of officers clutching assault rifles and bulletproof riot shields clashed with teenagers of north African descent, trading insults as officers profiled potential troublemakers.

France is in danger of descending into anarchy

France endured its worst night of rioting yet on Thursday as violence continued across the country. For the third consecutive evening, youths went on the rampage in most major cities, despite the presence of 40,000 police. Shops were looted, town halls attacked, police stations firebombed and vehicles were hijacked in extraordinary scenes of urban warfare.

Far right?

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

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.

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.

France riots: Macron faces calls to declare state of emergency

Protests over the shooting of 17-year-old Nahel M have spilled into the capital’s affluent areas

President Macron has summoned key ministers to a crisis meeting amid calls for him to declare a state of emergency after a third night of rioting across France.

With the violence intensifying despite the deployment of 40,000 officers including elite units across the country, Macron is under growing pressure to suspend some civil rights in an effort to restore order.

He is to chair the French equivalent of a Cobra meeting — the second in two days — as he struggles for a coherent response to what has spiralled into a national crisis and a challenge to his authority.
