RIOTING has broken out in Paris today as thousands gathered for May Day protests dubbed an 'Armageddon’ by extremist demonstrators..Paris police said 250 people had been arrested, most for public order offences related to the rioting, as cops clashed with 'Black Bloc' anti-capitalists.
Weapons were also confiscated as the police used tear gas, rubber bullets and baton charges to try and restore order.
Thugs from the so-called Black Bloc anti-capitalist movement were involved in running battles with police soon after 1pm (local time).
Black Bloc activists with their faces covered could be seen leading attacks on officers, and smashing up vehicles and shop fronts.
The worst early violence was outside La Rotonde, President Emmanuel Macron’s favourite restaurant in Montparnasse.
A CRS riot control officer at the scene said: "Black Bloc agitators were throwing stones and other missiles at us, and we had to charge.
"Tear gas has also been deployed to bring order to the situation. The situation is very tense. There have been 88 arrests reported so far."
Huge parts of Paris are on lockdown today as an unprecedented 7,400 police officers have been drafted onto the streets.
May Day riots are expected in the French capital today, following the months of chaos caused by 'Yellow Vest' protesters.

As they have the American ones, the German ones, the Australian ones, well you get the idea.
I was in Paris two weeks ago and it was lovely. Plenty of other tourists, as well.
As always, the media blows everything out of proportion.
They wouldn’t riot they would be armed and bodies would line the streets
Echoes of 1968’s Communist Revolutionaries
Is that a * wildcard protest?
There does seem to be a fishbowl of various protesters protesting each others protests.
Hmph. I was led to believe Armageddon was going to be a lot worse.
That’s because even “our guys” take the bait and spend all their air time on demonicRAT hissy fits.
Well this is really nothing by comparison......imagining all the criminals, murderers and crazies running around who assuredly will be let out or escape prisons....these guys here will seem like children throwing pebbles.
But yes the word Armageddon is thrown around a lot today. maybe here to represent between the good and bad, though it’s hard to tell which ones are which!
Why arent the militant pro-tax Marxists called counter-protesters to the yellow vest protest movement?
I have no patience for ANTIFA wannabes, but would the police have made any arrests if these guys had names like Amar or Mohammed?
Ah, yes, a whiff of grapeshot.
No doubt. That vaca money could buy a lotta ammo here!! Just sayin'. d;^)
I'm not sure a restaurant named La Rotonde would be my first choice, btw.
Protesting is the lazy way out. Why not organize and fight, like you should have against the Nazis. Instead of standing around crying and whining.
For Macron.
This nation is on the edge, the verge of completely and utterly fall over the terminal edge. This country is dying on the vine. Whether you are a believer in Christ Jesus or not, His book, the Bible, clearly tells of these days. These days have been prophesied for thousands of years. God said there would be a one world government. Now we are on the verge of it. He said that these evil times would ramp up like they are. They have. He said that that the religions of the world would come together as one. They are doing that right now!! The pope is yelling all believe in the same god, they don't. My God of the Bible is NOT the god of the Koran!!! My Savior was not a pedophile who married a 6 year old child and consummated the marriage when she was NINE!!! God said nothing, absolutely nothing in the Bible about a western power in the last days. When America breaths its last breath, that lone western power will die, and God's prophesy of no lone western power will come to past. America will probably be consumed by the EU, especially our military power, they will need it, mainly because the Anti-Christ will need the military power to rule the world. America is rapidly going down the drain now. The Bible says we will not exist and I believe it. EVERYTHING God has said in Scripture has come true to this point. Why should I doubt the rest will come true.
I love my nation. I gave my best years to the military. My body has suffered for my service. Wounded in Vietnam resulted in two surgeries. I have had a total of 13 surgeries, 10 in the past 9 years, directly related to my service. I have had 58 epidurals on my back and hips because of three surgeries. I do not want to see it go down the drain and become what I defended this nation from, communism, for 21 years and two wars and numerous military conflicts around the world. BUT, I believe what Christ says in His Word. Thus I know that this nation is going to collapse and collapse HARD, PROBABLY SOONER RATHER THAN LATER. So, if you don't believe, I believe time grows short to do so. You HAVE to believe BEFORE you die. And, NO, you cannot have someone buy your way into Heaven after you die. There is NO WHERE in Scripture that says that. It says in the book of Hebrews that we must believe and die before we die. We get this one chance, that's it. Sorry, for that religion that believes you can buy your way in, you cannot!!! Scripture is clear on that. So, alive or dead, I know that I will be seeing Him soon. For me, the sooner the better. I am ready to meet my Maker as some say.
David Horwitz has written a recent book that the left in America is determined to destroy the Christian believers in this nation so that they can destroy our voting block. I am ordering his book. I want to see what he has found to make this prediction. In fact, I believe him whether or not I agree with his book. I know the left wants to bring down the Christian voting block. Without us around, they will always win. Sorry for the long response. This has all been on my mind since I saw a 30 minute show on Newsmax's station on TV this past weekend about Horwitz's book. So, thanks for listening. See ya.
Sorry, should have said: "Hebrews says that we must believe before we die . . .
And inasmuch as it is appointed for men to die once and after this comes judgment, . . .
So this clearly means we will die and then God will judge us. Nothing about Uncle Bob paying $250,000 to buy your way into Heaven because you died lost in God's eyes. God doesn't need money. Only those so-called Christian churches who do this WANT money. That way millions of people pay these funds to buy a alcohol and drug loving, woman chasing, guy who lived a horrible life, beat his wife, mistreated his kids, yup, and buy his way into Heaven because they know he has no chance the real way. Okay brother, I am done. Sorry, just wanted to make it clear.
