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.

Animals roam Paris streets after Protesters Open Zoo

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 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.

Europe, the La La Land continent of immigration

Sweden is a monument to European naivete that believes open immigration of Muslims can lead to integration with post-Christians.

“Free Derry” is a famous area that declared itself “autonomous” in Northern Ireland’s second city between 1969 and 1972. The term originates from the writing painted on the wall of a building:

“You are now entering Free Derry”. The name derives from its status as a “closed” area (no-go area) to British forces (British and Protestants called it Londonderry).
Who would have thought, fifty years later, that there would be other “no-go areas” in Europe?

France: Worst Riots In 20 Years

Video showed officer allegedly telling 17-year-old victim, ‘I’m going to put a bullet in your head’, before he shot him

Youths hurled fireworks and stones at police and torched cars on the fringes of a march in a Paris suburb in memory of a 17-year-old French-Algerian boy shot by police.

The youths disrupted the march, which was led by the teenager’s mother. She and most of the more than 6,000 people who were taking part dispersed after violence broke out, leaving the troublemakers to face armed and helmeted police. Palls of acrid black smoke rose from burning, overturned cars.

France will mobilise 40,000 police officers across the country this evening to deal with the protests.

Hamas in Sweden

The European Palestinians Conference, held in Malmö, Sweden on May 27, had clear and strong connections with Hamas, including through conference chairman Amin Abu Rashid. Before the conference, it was reported that several members of parliament from Sweden’s Green Party, Left Party and Social Democratic Party would be participating in the conference.

When the Swedish media wrote about the connection between the European Palestinians Conference and Hamas, however, MPs, one by one, began withdrawing from the conference — although, notably, without distancing themselves from Hamas.

Sweden: Iraqi refugee burns Quran outside mosque during Eid al-Adha

Two men stood outside Stockholm’s central mosque on Wednesday and burned a Quran, following the go-ahead given by a Swedish court, to coincide with the beginning of the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Adha.

The man who had requested permission for the action, a 30-year-old Iraqi refugee who wants the book banned, tore out pages from the Quran, wiped them on his shoe and set some of them on fire, Swedish public broadcaster SVT said.

Around 200 people gathered to watch, including counterprotesters. One man was detained after he tried to throw a rock.
