1,000 Buildings Burnt, 5,600 Vehicles Destroyed, 3,300 Arrests in First Week of France Riots
Breitbart ^ | 07/03/2023 | OLIVER JJ LANE

The huge extent of damage and vandalism caused in nearly a week of nightly riots in France has been dramatically underlined with a summary of recorded burnings so far, with the toll running to thousands of vehicles and buildings.

Ministry of the Interior figures taking account of damage to people and property during the now six nights of riots triggered by the shooting death by a police officer of an Algerian heritage teenager in a Paris suburb at a traffic stop reveals there have been 5,662 vehicle fires so far, reports Le Parisien.

The rioters like to toss fireworks at the cops.

If the cops response was “any fireworks tossed at us gets responded to with a flash-bang grenade into the middle of the crowd”, that would stop.

And any bullets coming from the crowd results in the crowd as a whole being fired upon.

Myanmar handled having a large number of Bangladeshi illegals by giving them a simple message: “leave or die”. Over 100k self reported back to Bangladesh.

Islam’s fifth column has caused more damage in one week than the 2500 vehicles lost to Russia by Ukraine!

Open boarders baby. France ain’t French;)

At least France arrested 3300. Can’t say that here.

More than that during the so-called capital riots. Of course, there were damn near zero actual rioters.

If a couple hundred of these vandals were shotthe first night or two, the riots would be over pretty quickly!

In a country of 68 million, they can’t find any ‘conservative’ voices other than a member of the Le Pen family? They are damaged goods. They talk a good game but are consistent losers at the ballot box.

...and so that leads to the question is whether France is ready to fight this as an insurrection, and that does NOT mean a Jan 6th ‘insurrection’, or a Wagner ‘insurrection’, but one with a huge number of people ready to topple their government.

If France is ready and capable of doing that, then they will have to declare martial law, along with shoot-to-kill, while they work on long-term solutions, such as such as deportations to any country that will take them, and assuming they cannot find a country that stupid, then to some island in the middle of nowhere, making sure to sterilize them along the way.

Assuming they do all that, I wonder if anyone in the West will complain...

“...and so that leads to the question is whether France is ready to fight this as an insurrection, and that does NOT mean a Jan 6th ‘insurrection’, or a Wagner ‘insurrection’, but one with a huge number of people ready to topple their government.”

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

You are right. Usually when the world “insurrection” is used, the goal is to topple a Government, putting new leaders in place by force.

The Jan 6 “insurrection” was incredibly short lived. The Capitol was up and running again just a few hours later, yes a few hours later! A proof that very little was disrupted, and that the “insurrectionists’ were in reality just demonstrators.
Indeed, they were unarmed, didn’t commit any arson, no Cocktail Molotovs, didn’t loot to enrich themselves.

Compared to the “Summer of Love” terror-and-deaths movement, the Jan 6 event is looking like a vacation camp.

The racial-religious insurrection going on right now in France is about just as ferocious and inhumane as the American Summer of Love terror operation.
The goal is to scare the nation’s citizens to the core, to show “who is the boss”, and in the process hoping for the society’s fall - as a bonus.
However, they don’t have anyone to take the leadership in case the system collapses. There are some islamic religious groups though who could benefit from such chaos, and when the institutions are in ashes, abuse that fragility to their benefit and launch their own religious-political agenda as step number 2. THAT though means the beginning of a civil war. We are not there yet.

However, we can’t endure revolts upon revolts, again and again. There is a limit France is not ready to tolerate.
I think the red line has been crossed this time. This is all too costly. Too many business were destroyed, too many schools, ambulances, etc... Marine Le Pen will win next election as a result.

As a side-note, the election process in France is woking perfectly, it’s not electronic, no Dominion machines, voter ID is compulsory for everyone. No party has ever criticized the voting procedure. The election results are systematically error free and indisputable.

After all this, France is not going to be the same again. I think laws will be changed, the pressure from the French citizens for their rights to live in security will be immense from now on.
Borders must be respected, we need to know WHO crosses those borders.

Yep, I had heard that they actually called off their ‘insurrection’ when Capitol Police told them to go home for dinner.

I always liked the KJV version:

2 Thessalonians 2:7-9
King James Version

7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.

8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:

9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
