So does the rioting in France continue?

Oh, my no. It dies out gradually and its participants retire to enjoy the largesse that the French government will shower on them. And they wait. Next time the lessons will have been learned and the level of violence will be much higher, for the stakes will be control of the French government. But not this time. They're not ready yet. A year or so to pull in sufficient armaments and they will be.

"A year or so to pull in sufficient armaments and they will be."

It wouldn't surprise me one bit to find that they are aleady doing that in the chaos of the moment, so to speak.

"It dies out gradually and its participants retire to enjoy the largesse that the French government will shower on them."

In doing so, France will just be supplying them with the means to ensure their (the French's) own destruction.
