As the U.S. deals with the consequences of mass immigration, important lessons can be learned from our oldest European ally.
Over the past few weeks, France has been engulfed in riots after a 17-year-old boy was shot and killed by a police officer during a traffic stop. The rioting and looting have largely been centered in communities with many migrants from North African and Islamic nations. The rioting has caused more than one billion dollars in property damage, and has led to thousands of arrests. It has also led to a renewed debate in Europe about the costs of mass migration and whether or not those costs are worth it.
It’s not just the U.S. that has experienced an influx of foreign nationals in recent years. France took in a record number of migrants in 2022, both legal and illegal. The European Union resettled nearly one million migrants last year, not including refugees from war-torn Ukraine. The main countries of origin for these refugees were Syria, Afghanistan, Turkey, Venezuela, and Columbia. Just as we’ve seen in the U.S., these large influxes of migrants have had a destabilizing effect on the continent’s cultural, economic, and political life. The carnage occurring in France is the result of long-simmering tensions finally coming to the surface. It’s the results of migrants from third-world, war-torn countries not assimilating into their new country, but bringing the baggage from their old countries with them.
During the France riots, a group of North African migrants could be seen chanting “f*ck France,” and “We’re just here for the welfare!” The crassness of these migrants certainly isn’t representative of everybody seeking to come from the third world to prosperous western nations, but it is indicative of a larger problem with mass immigration.

And many of our illegals are beholding to the drug cartels. What could go wrong?
Why did the “French” riots cease?
BTTT
A 17-Year-Old with multiple arrests involving motor vehicle theft, illegal driving, and endangerment of others.
A civilization cannot continue when the barbarians are allowed to flout the laws with impunity.
El Salvador is cracking down on the gangs and on crime. I think that the murder rate has dropped by about 90%. I would not be surprised if many are coming over our border for easier pickings.
Buy weapons and ammo, folks. These riots have already happened here and go back to the 60s. They will get worse.
The money quote.
Disagree to a degree.
While they may kick them off here, the riots will be contained to their own nest and proximal urban areas.
This is especially true for the 2A states with blue cities and red suburbs.
As an example- for a novel or short fiction story only of course.
1. The Powers That Be decide it’s time to kick things off prior to the 2024 election, say early August.
2. A trigger event is staged in Detroit, and within 4 hours Detroit is effectively at war with organized groups and ready-printed banners
3. Friendly media is quickly embedded.
4. That evening it spreads to Metro Atlanta. Rinse and repeat.
5. A convoy of mostly peaceful protesters heads N out of Atlanta on GA 400 ... and exits just north of the 285 perimeter. It’s a big exit and they make it to Abernathy and head east towards Perimeter Mall. A presumed soft target.
6. So they set about mostly peacefully assaulting people, destroying property and starting fires. Let the games begin and the music stop.
7. Despite most of FRs justified misgivings about Kemp, he WILL order the hammer dropped. He will let inner Fulton be inner Fulton, but gawd help you if you screw with Buckhead ( the convoy opted to not hit that, ground elements on MARTA could do that ) or head to Roswell/Sandy Springs.
8. Local police and SWAT, available State Troopers and supporting Sheriff’s departments (who frankly would be the more unrestrained pipe hitters) descend on the mall. Organized and brutal counter-chaos ensues.
8a. Armed and interested locals already at the mall, including women, see an @$$-kicking of epic proportion is kicking off and join the fun.
8b. Except for the outrage at the Whitehouse, on CNN and WSB (ABC affiliate) it’s all over and cordoned off in 45 minutes.
9. Kemp responds publicly with a well-reasoned, calm “law an order/ zero tolerance for riots” statement.
Chapter 2
Some adventurous mostly peaceful protestors head up GA400 on their crotch rockets, hoping to join their ‘brethren’ at the University of North GA in Dahlonega who had tried to kick off some festivities but were shut down by Lumpkin County Sheriff’s Dept (do NOT screw with them) in about 10 minutes.
1. Word of their journey north spreads on official channels and social media.
2. A serious and proper road block is set by LEOs across the bridge at the Chestatee River. Few on FR have seen this bridge, but it is quite the natural bottleneck.
2.1 Blocking forces are staged just out of sight west of 400 at Chesterra Dr- the top of the hill prior to the bridge.
3. Locals unofficially and easily set up the “L” of the ambush on the hillsides to the approach of the bridge. There’s quality lanes of fire there ...
3.1 The locals have ingress and egress along Cain Bridge rd and the 4-wheel track to the new power substation- all with an elevated overwatch view of 400 from concealment and cover.
4. Crotch Rocket Convoy pops over the hill pushing 90 mph and at that point several things happen.
4.1 they can now see the road block.
4.2 blocking forces seal the highway behind them. Same for the two entrances to the small hospital on the east.
4.3 some press on for the confrontation. Some stop. Some try to turn around and head south. There is NO east or west available here.
5. Some d@mn fool in the group fires off a few rounds at the roadblock.
6. The Road Of Death results.
7. No media present. Only alarmed “on the scene” reports the next day when little or no physical evidence exists.
This crap simply can’t spread successfully out of the 5h!t-in-your-own-nest cities in red states.
Also see Matt Bracken’s “When the Music Stops.
@”travis” - your thoughts on this?
The money quote.
Indeed. Or said even more succinctly,
Import Somalians get Mogadishu.
(I give credit elsewhere but I don't remember where.)
A major difference will be the fact we’re armed. You can poke the bear, but at some point he’s going to wake up.
Also see One Second After by William R. Forstchen.
Reading that book when it came out was s “seminal event” for me. IT set me definitively on a very different planning-for-contingencies path.
While folks can argue over the exact nature of the ‘event,’ it’s the societal+economic disruption that was so eye-opening.
For you, I recommend you read the non-fiction works of Jonathan Hollerman ( https://www.griddownconsulting.com and Amazon Kindle) as well as his works of what I would call instructive fiction - the Equipping Modern Patriots trilogy.
Start here: You loot, we shoot. Shoot anyone causing damage.
True, but they are copying us now.
I wrote all my thoughts in some novels between 20 and 5 years ago.
Now the “crazy hyperbolic ideas” are coming to pass. Too late to stop the crazy train, it’s going all the way to the bridge, and the bridge is already blown up.
You have to figure a way to jump off the train to safety, and there is no guarantee of success.
Best I can recommend is to listen to this Michael Yon interview carefully, at least twice. The podcast host let’s Yon carry the ball, it’s really 90% Yon. I spent a few weeks with him this year, and he has the closest vision to mine.
I cannot recommend this Yon podcast enough. I’ve listened 3X and taken notes each time.

A common language, something that used to be common.
Reminiscent of democRats in this country.
