Vehicles were set on fire in prison car parks, and one prison entrance was targeted with gunfire from an automatic weapon.

Justice Minister Gérald Darmanin said prisons had faced "intimidation attempts" and linked the attacks to the government's crackdown on drug trafficking.

Seven establishments were attacked, according to the Parisien newspaper: in Toulon, Aix-En-Provence, Marseille, Valence and Nîmes in southern France, and in Villepinte and Nanterre, near Paris.

The prison guard union, FO Justice, expressed its "deepest concern and anger" following the "extremely serious" attacks overnight.

The union posted updates from the aftermath of several attacks on X, including images of burnt-out vehicles in prison car parks and bullet holes in the Toulon prison entrance gate.

Are these “drug gangs” in any way attached to the ROP?

Muslim Bastille Day. Meanwhile, Macron has probably sent the Army to the Ukraine to get incinerated.

As Europe goes, France is (was) considered gun friendly.
I did some research on Europe, many, many years ago, and getting gun in France was not a big deal.

The French are why Washington’s small army won, so show some respect.

Drug gangs don’t attack government institutions because of crack downs. They know that periodic upticks in enforcement are transitory and a price of doing business.

The French like the British are afraid to name their problem and are afraid to do anything to solve their problem.

It is hard to imagine that these two countries marched from their homelands to Israel and fought the Crusades.

Now they sit on their hands and do nothing while the hords of Islam walk in, claim the wealth of their homelands and rape their daughters.

Secular humanism has castrated Christendom.

Are there no men left in Europe.

Perhaps not so random as it sounds.
It has been nearly a thousand years.

You can see where the gaslighting is headed. Next they’ll be in full blown civil war with the ROP and the media will be describing it as ‘sporadic youth disturbances’.

Multiple concurrent attacks, with guns, are only ‘concerns’.

Cowards.

The war started in 650 AD; you are late to the party.
