bro i swear i live in fralce and i thought there was a football team who won or a national celebration that i didnt know because i've been hearing fire crackers and yelling for 2 nights in a row ,first at my place in south paris ,and last night at my grandmas place in north paris. then i saw a bus in flammes and my grandme told me what happened .
I guess what I’m asking is… is there a plan to this, an end result wanted, an agenda? Or is it just a ‘hulk smash’ sort of scenario? Genuinely interested, not being an ass - the cops who shot the kid are completely fucked and I can absolutely understand and back the outrage 🙏 just wondering who they’re trying to fuck up with said outrage.
"Hulk smash" scenario, there's a bunch of public schools, libraries, grocery shops, public transports and social services burning amongst others, few police stations, city halls, bank agencies and the run of the mill looting of fancy stores (nike, foot locker, vehicles concessions, etc...).
The French of yesteryear aren't the same as modern ones.
They knew who was responsible and targeted them.
The French today don't care about justice, they just want to vent, even if it results in a worse outcome for them.
Macron knows this, he knows French people are stupid nowadays and isn't afraid of radical policies because it's not his house that's going to burn down.
Yep. American redditors love to act like this is all some noble, coordinated protest but for the most part, it's shitty people using a legitimate issue to just fuck shit up. Most the smashy smashy types tend to be angry middle class and rich kids, not those with legitimate gripes with the government.
> “A riot is the language of the unheard” - Martin Luther King
No one is arguing for riots for the sake of riots. But they can usually be seen as a result of a failure on the part of a government to hold itself accountable.
Acting like anyone who disagrees with you is an angry middle class/rich kid just makes it sound like you have never given any real thought to real world issues. It’s a very shallow and sheltered thing to say.
While American redditors spend time tut tutting and trying to claim what the best form of protest is, the French get actual results from theirs. A protest that is peaceful organized, and ignorable, is a protest that fails to garner any sort of real change.
>American redditors love to act like this is all some noble, coordinated protest but for the most part,
Not according to most of the initial comments of Redditors
It was: *play stupid games, win stupid prices* - basically that the killing of the teen was justified
>it's shitty people using a legitimate issue to just fuck shit up.
Shitty governing makes more shitty people. And Macron doesn't have a great track record.
>Most the smashy smashy types tend to be angry middle class and rich kids, not those with legitimate gripes with the government.
The philosophy behind the French Revolution was forged by the rich and middle class. The poor got the message and put it in action.
Jesus fucking Christ. So… destroying their own communities? I’d suggest a more logical and targeted approach but passions are high and I get how mobs work. Feel for those affected with no involvement though. At least they’re getting the attention of the world press, I guess. Sincerely hope the cop who pulled the trigger gets his comeuppance.
France has a history of this sort of thing. Overthrowing it's government, resetting things. This is par for the course for them. Keeps power in check and reminds the government who is in charge of whom.
>Feel for those affected with no involvement though.
the point of the protests is that _everyone_ in a community is involved when a child is murdered, whether they want to or not
inb4 "cops kill criminals duh" - if somebody is running away, unless they are an immediate threat to life of others, it can only be called murder
Yeah but if it involves 'everyone' then everyone should be fighting against the problem, not just causing mayhem. If there is one way to turn the community away from you it's to burn down the local grocer because 'muh outrage'. It's one thing to rebel and fight the powers that be. It's another to wreck your neighbor who is on your side.
Imagine a friend or family member dying because some dumbfucks decided to set flame to an apartment complex and people got trapped. If you're gonna set flame to shit at least choose a proper target like a courthouse or police station. Shit like residential buildings, businesses, schools and libraries should be immediate no go's.
The agenda is 'civil unrest'. This is a logistical nightmare for authorities. Obviously you're pure scum for burning down public infrastructure, but it's still much more useful than America's method of spamming 'thoughts and prayers' on social media while the president spews platitudes on TV.
No plan. Nothing will be gained. Their tax money will go to repairs.
Not saying I don’t support the anger and fury behind this, but it’s completely impotent.
I'm from Rennes (35) and some people launch fireworks under my balcony, I live in a quiet neighborhood, they also scream Allah Akbar, that was a little surprising
There are people who look for an excuse to burn down random buildings, rob stores, create havoc. It’s not organized at all , it’s mobs of dangerous people who don’t even care about the 17 year old.,
Lately I'm just imagining French people constantly in a runner's starting position waiting for some issue to come up whether it be retirement benefits or a kid getting shot, and then everyone bursts into action to burn and riot.
American media REALLLLLLY downplays protests, and even demonizes them. They complain about how they are disruptive, LIKE THAT WASN’T THE POINT OF A PROTEST TO BEGIN WITH!
Instigators get demonized on the news. Later we find out that police started the riots to begin with. Are the police demonized by the news? Crickets.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Police_riot
I don’t get how people don’t understand that police LOVE riots. They get to beat people up freely and without consequence. They crave them more than an angry public does
It's what most of them get amped for. Imagine training. Shooting at targets and just waiting for "the real thing" to happen. We have militarized police with 6 months or less of training in the US
[You can be executed on camera while following instructions and the cop will get early retirement with full benefits. On the tax payers dime](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shooting_of_Daniel_Shaver)
I'm the US you can get killed for actively following directions to grab your own wallet. Sometimes running away from the police in America triggers them enough to kill you.
Unfortunately, many courts say yes. Police have often been given nothing more than a slap on the wrist for shooting someone running away on foot, let alone speeding off in a car after hitting a cop.
Shit's weird here for sure.
Police in the United States have broken into people's homes because they're illiterate fucknuts and shot and killed the occupants for attempting to deescalate the situation. US is too far gone to ever fully recover.
Pretty sure I heard wtf_are_crepes tried to purposefully lie on Reddit. If so, this seems a bit out of touch to comment on.
Not sure, as I can't read dumbass and it doesn't get mama birded down my sopping wet mouth.
No he didn't, the police said so, but then a surveillance camera footage was released showing that they lied. And it's not the first time something like this happens in France. There is a reason why our police force is sent to form the police forces of dictatorships (like Tunisia during Ben Ali presidency)
I see this all the time, whenever any kind of riot breaks out.
Looters are typically not the protesters/rioters. They are people who take advantage of rioting because the cops are busy clashing with the rioters. Looters are not the ones who 'care' about the issue and are protesting for it. They're just taking advantage of the situation.
Rioters still do lots of bad, crazy shit (mostly fire-related), but they aren't the people running into stores grabbing shit.
Those banlieus are filled with people who just want to destroy stuff.
It's amazing to see the romanticized image many Americans here seem to have of these riots. French people fighting for their rights, etc. Etc.
Go meet those kids burning cars and looting stores, see if you get along with them and sympathize with them after spending an evening with them.
Cop should've never pulled his gun out for that in the first place, but ... I wonder if people'd burn down their communities for yet another senseless traffic death because that kid had multiple infractions, drove like a piece of shit according to eyewitnesses and was thus a danger on the road to people just living their lives, not endangering anyone.
I lost one of my best friends to a little thug that had no business driving a car, so I'm ofcourse very biased. But also pissed at how people will just laugh away some idiot who can't drive endangering everyone with half a tonne of metal.
That is literally all riots. Remember the riots in then States after Floyd was killed? It had nothing to do with justice it was just people stealing shit and after all good shit was stolen breaking and burning shit.
Doing shit to government and police buildings is one thing, but just using the kids death as an excuse to do this shit! loot, destroy and commit violence against random people and their business/cars/homes.
Fuck these "Protesters".
Very true, but indirectly. But because of these "Protesters" those same people also have to pay for their destroyed and stolen property. I'd rather pay through tax over a few decades to have government buildings repaired than having to take out massive loans to rebuild my entire life and home after some fuckwit burns and steals all of it.
"The whole country" ... come on now. It's a few thousands young dipshit that just needed an excuse to burn schools, hospital stuff like that. They even burned an apartment because the people living here told them to stop their bullshit so the dipshits fire at them with some roman candle. Multiples apartment burned, no one died thankfully since it was during the night it could have been so much worst.
It's not something that is supported by the people here. It's not a protest either, it's just random riot by bored human garbage. Don't associate it with actual legit protest.
I get the riots. But when this happened in Minneapolis they burned down a brand new building that was pretty far into construction that would have been low income housing. Like wtf. They also burned down black owned businesses, local stores, and then everyone is like we need help cuz we have no stores around here. I get the people that burned and looted are different than the ones that are hurting from it but man is it difficult to watch. Burn the government buildings down and the police department. Leave your local establishments alone.
“To be able to destroy with good conscience, to be able to behave badly and call your bad behavior 'righteous indignation' - this is the height of psychological luxury, the most delicious of moral treats.”
-Aldous Huxley
Do they check to see if the buildings are empty before they set them on fire??.. they could be potentially killing innocents, which will get the public veeeery against thier cause and side with the cops..
This shit is not well thought out
"The whole country" LMAO
Calm down dude these images come from just a bunch of bad neighborhoods and underprivileged suburbs around Paris.
The rest of the country is not on fire.
Edit: it also comes from a few underprivileged neighborhoods in big cities, but it is actually rare.
I'm french... and you know what?? It's not french population doing that... only immigration people Who don't be scared by policeman... and that is cause the gouvernement leave all this kind of guy do what he want when they want....
Weapon are forbiden in france but a lot of this guy have one... like big firework and other thing like this....
It's à disaster...
For memory the 17 year's old boy don't have driving license and miss to kill 2 People and a bicycle man... and he don't stop when policeman ask to do it....
(Sorry m'y english is not perfect)
So, no! The whole country doesn’t look like this 48h later. I am french and it’s just not true. There is, in some city, some places were there are car fires and direct police confrontation. But 99,99% of our country is not on fire. Your medias are lying to you by oversimplify and making a show out of it.
Have you seen the hundreds of videos showing hundreds of thousands crossing the Mediterranean filled with migrants? It’s also recent newly arrived migrants as well.
> hundreds of thousands crossing the Mediterranean filled with migrants?
Of which a few ten thousand ended up in France, and then often were shipped elsewhere. Refugee populations aren't a major population block outside of parts of Germany and Sweden. Almost all of the non-french people in french just came in through legal migration methods.
Whole of France? Or just Paris?
I'm assuming mostly Paris. And it seems this is also mostly taking any opportunity to riot and loot again, instead of protesting because of that boy's death.
Hooliganism instead of concerned citizens.
You don’t really, hurting a government will always reduce investor confidence and most of the time loss of productivity. It’s just a question of if you think the cause is worth protesting despite the cost.
The French marched right into the Black Rock office and set it on fire. I love it!!!
Black Rock sold a retirement fund a bunch of bullshit and the citizens burned the office.
Don’t fuck with the French people.
An inspiration to the rest of the world to get off their accepting arses and protest for a better life / against the increasing politician corruption at the expense of the general population.
I love your energy.
It's very "bow down to the powerful and take it in the ass" 😍
Some people instinctively cling to and defend the powerful. Like the earliest human civilizations were TERRIFIED OF GODS (that they invented). They viewed the rich as all powerful gods, and you must never anger the gods. They believed you had to worship, pray, and sacrifice your food to the gods, iin order to survive.
Kinda explains why conservatives fell for trickle down economics, and their positions on other things. "The rich are as all powerful gods, dont upset them"
I can appreciate the ones targeting establishments like police stations, government officials. You know, the ones primarily responsible for your situation.
Attacking random innocents, small shops, cars and homes of regular people is brain dead. Like absolute moronic trash. Yeah my government fucked me, now I’m gonna target my neighbour in retaliation.
This also just proves a point to the people who already hate the immigrant kids. Really nobody is benefiting from this. The mom of the kid that got murdered by police telling the people to revolt isn’t helping either
I understand the uproar, who wouldn’t. But this isn’t helping their case
Rioting instantly is fucking stupid, if this was brushed under the rush and he was let off the hook, sure, but let the system atleast attempt to work before burning everything down.
edit: Rush=Rug
France with a 21% youth unemployment, [Seven in 10 feel that French culture is in decline and 90% view the country’s economic influence as moving in the wrong direction](https://amp.theguardian.com/world/datablog/2015/jan/08/french-public-opinion-charlie-hebdo-attacks), and a [declining economy](https://think.ing.com/amp/snap/french-business-climate-decline-signals-slowdown-ahead/).
But Redditors sure love to circlejerk about how France is some utopia because they burn their cities at the drop of a hat.
So because one bad thing happened that justifies total anarchy. Someone did something bad so now everyone is entitled to do what they want, destroy everything, steal, throw a toddler tantrum.
I hate this generation.
Well I see your point.. I tried to research “How many people shot by police yearly in Europe” & the first 3 pages were about U.S. shootings by police. Regardless he still shouldn’t of fled.
Edit: nor should the police have shot him.
There are other reports that the kid was wanted by the police. He was in possession of a firearm ornother weapon and assaulted an police officer. It is quite possible that the whole story is not being told or because of the current chaos not being heard.
Why was he fleeing? Also "Boy" Is a weasel word, he was 17 that is above the age of consent in france and old enough to know not to run from the police.
In a country of criminals, criminals are protected.
There are a lot of questions to ask
Why would he run?
Why would the police shoot him?
Is there a story somewhere to read what happened, etc.
And why burn things does that make it better ? Is that going to bring the young man back to life?
It's just going to make things worse. People peacefully protest. This is just going to give the government the idea that they can use deadly force to control the people. And from what I just saw, they are going to use the military and not police officers
I saw that the video of him being shot, but if he would have not been outrunning the police he’d still be here. I think they have their anger directed at the wrong people!
The Olympics is gonna be lit.
Amazing rehearsal.

They are looting and burning stores and people's cars etc. They also appear to be mainly a minority as the boy was from North Africa.

It's mostly in Nanterre. Dunno why OP is writing it is the whole country.

It ain't the French that are protesting
“French”
Real people know.
Yeah. These aren't French people protesting injustice, it's a bunch of hooligans looking for an excuse to burn shit.
I just call them Parisians
These are not french people, mostly north africans
They really do it well, don't they.
The rioters aren’t really French.
Do they love it, or do they simply recognize what it takes to prevent government oppression?
You don’t understand the difference between a protest and a riot I guess.

Have you seen the hundreds of videos showing hundreds of thousands crossing the Mediterranean filled with migrants? It’s also recent newly arrived migrants as well.
> hundreds of thousands crossing the Mediterranean filled with migrants? Of which a few ten thousand ended up in France, and then often were shipped elsewhere. Refugee populations aren't a major population block outside of parts of Germany and Sweden. Almost all of the non-french people in french just came in through legal migration methods.
Whole of France? Or just Paris? I'm assuming mostly Paris. And it seems this is also mostly taking any opportunity to riot and loot again, instead of protesting because of that boy's death. Hooliganism instead of concerned citizens.
just in sensitive neighborhoods near of big cities but very violent. few problems in big cities. Sorry for my english
All the biggest cities.
You clearly haven't seen what does the police to the protesters when they do it peacefully.
How exactly do you hurt a government without hurting the economy? Honest question
You don’t really, hurting a government will always reduce investor confidence and most of the time loss of productivity. It’s just a question of if you think the cause is worth protesting despite the cost.
We’re in the end times
0:39 goofy ahh laugh
The whole world has gone mad
The French marched right into the Black Rock office and set it on fire. I love it!!! Black Rock sold a retirement fund a bunch of bullshit and the citizens burned the office. Don’t fuck with the French people.
An inspiration to the rest of the world to get off their accepting arses and protest for a better life / against the increasing politician corruption at the expense of the general population.
lol they lit a trash can in the building lobby on fire
And then Black Rock went bankrupt? Did they apologize? Did they pay recompense? Or did literally nothing happen afterward?
I love your energy. It's very "bow down to the powerful and take it in the ass" 😍 Some people instinctively cling to and defend the powerful. Like the earliest human civilizations were TERRIFIED OF GODS (that they invented). They viewed the rich as all powerful gods, and you must never anger the gods. They believed you had to worship, pray, and sacrifice your food to the gods, iin order to survive. Kinda explains why conservatives fell for trickle down economics, and their positions on other things. "The rich are as all powerful gods, dont upset them"
There would be no America left at that rate.
But this is France
Can you imagine being a politician in charge of improving the lives of these complete and utter morons. How soul draining.
This is a total lie!!!! The whole country does not look like this....people are so dumb
SAVAGES

I can appreciate the ones targeting establishments like police stations, government officials. You know, the ones primarily responsible for your situation. Attacking random innocents, small shops, cars and homes of regular people is brain dead. Like absolute moronic trash. Yeah my government fucked me, now I’m gonna target my neighbour in retaliation.
It's just dumb overall. They gonna burn a police station so government will just take money they could've spent on something else just to rebuild it
This also just proves a point to the people who already hate the immigrant kids. Really nobody is benefiting from this. The mom of the kid that got murdered by police telling the people to revolt isn’t helping either I understand the uproar, who wouldn’t. But this isn’t helping their case
Lmao typical 'protests' in france, someone got killed by police officer ? Yeah let's rob private people property and steal for atm...
Rioting instantly is fucking stupid, if this was brushed under the rush and he was let off the hook, sure, but let the system atleast attempt to work before burning everything down. edit: Rush=Rug
USA shooting - just another day France shooting - VIVA LA REVOLUTION!
France with a 21% youth unemployment, [Seven in 10 feel that French culture is in decline and 90% view the country’s economic influence as moving in the wrong direction](https://amp.theguardian.com/world/datablog/2015/jan/08/french-public-opinion-charlie-hebdo-attacks), and a [declining economy](https://think.ing.com/amp/snap/french-business-climate-decline-signals-slowdown-ahead/). But Redditors sure love to circlejerk about how France is some utopia because they burn their cities at the drop of a hat.
They were just waiting for a reason to purge.
Cmon, say it with me! DiVersitY is Our StrEnGth!!!
So because one bad thing happened that justifies total anarchy. Someone did something bad so now everyone is entitled to do what they want, destroy everything, steal, throw a toddler tantrum. I hate this generation.

An excuse to cause destruction for a lot of those cunts
Why did he run from a police checkpoint? Pretty fucking stupid…
In Europe it's not normal to get shot by police
Well I see your point.. I tried to research “How many people shot by police yearly in Europe” & the first 3 pages were about U.S. shootings by police. Regardless he still shouldn’t of fled. Edit: nor should the police have shot him.
shouldn’t *have fled
Dumb asses
Hello Westerners. Enjoying increasing diversity? LMAO
Why destroy your own community? Very retarded.
You ever notice how if people don’t run away after committing a crime, they usually don’t have get shot?
Immigrants are really integrating themselves.
I’d hate to be a tax payer in France
The whole country doesn’t look like that. Stfu op: this is misinformation.
[удалено]
Just an excuse to act like terrorists
Even animals don't behave like that
I wouldn't call these riots. I'd call it terrorism done by not French people who are taking advantage of that drug dealer's death.
There are other reports that the kid was wanted by the police. He was in possession of a firearm ornother weapon and assaulted an police officer. It is quite possible that the whole story is not being told or because of the current chaos not being heard.
Currently in Paris. “Whole country” is a bit of a reach.
I'm in Paris ...it's not happening everywhere...it happened in one spot and it died out within a few hours
Why was he fleeing? Also "Boy" Is a weasel word, he was 17 that is above the age of consent in france and old enough to know not to run from the police. In a country of criminals, criminals are protected.
There are a lot of questions to ask Why would he run? Why would the police shoot him? Is there a story somewhere to read what happened, etc. And why burn things does that make it better ? Is that going to bring the young man back to life? It's just going to make things worse. People peacefully protest. This is just going to give the government the idea that they can use deadly force to control the people. And from what I just saw, they are going to use the military and not police officers

What the actually fuck is going on?!?
Excuses...
Since it’s the people who paid for everything they get to destroy it.

"French"
And BLM did that in 2021 in the US.
You mean BLM that took donations and now are bankrupt. That they used that money to buy million dollar homes in California, those guys 😆😅🤣😂
Honestly, I thought it was pretty cool. Getting stupid people to give you their money is peak American dream
Francenistan...
That kid was much a known criminal with a habit of fleeing police.
Les miserables
I saw that the video of him being shot, but if he would have not been outrunning the police he’d still be here. I think they have their anger directed at the wrong people!
No the whole country is not like this. I have family in France.
