RIOT police fired tear gas at stone-throwing protesters gathered in central Paris today to demonstrate against the presidential election victory of right-winger Nicolas Sarkozy.
The clashes took place on the Place de la Bastille where about 5000 supporters of the defeated Socialist candidate Segolene Royal had gone to await the election results, an AFP journalist said.
Up to 300 rioters, some of whom were masked, made running attacks on riot police who took up positions at the entrance to boulevards leading onto the square.
Earlier a small crowd of protesters, brandishing black and red anarchist flags, set fire to an effigy of Mr Sarkozy in the square before tearing it limb from limb and then stamping on it.

That didnt take long.

I seem to recall that his opponent basically called for this. I hope she will be held accountable.
...now just how often do the *losers* of elections keep their campaign promises?!
Kind of like the 1964 US Presidential election, they warned my parents,"if you vote for Barry Goldwater, there will be a war."
My parents voted for him and damn if we didnt have a war.
The peaceful and tolerant Left loves you so much that, if you don’t agree with them, they have no choice but to kill you.
This shouldn’t come as a shock to anybody, but let’s have some fun with it. We’ll all guess numbers and whoever gets closest to the number of cars torched in France because of this wins. I’m gonna be optimistic and say 100.
Funny thing is that I’ve already seen a liberal in this country questioning the accuracy of the vote count in France.
It’s only possible for the socialist to win elections. If they don’t, it’s because of Diebold machines or something that steals their votes.
Any Mooslimes should be deported back to their hellholes immediately
Least they’re not trying to spin them as “right wing victory celebrations” like MSNBC.

This is like Talledaga, but worse.
"ALLAHU AKBARRRRRRRRRRRRR -- !!!"
“Funny thing is that Ive already seen a liberal in this country questioning the accuracy of the vote count in France.”
It’s hard to argue with the vote count when your candidate gets blown out of the water. Don’t get your hopes up; had this been closer, they would be screaming about that, too. The left is not exactly known for good form when losing.
Put me down for 999 in the betting pool. ;)
What are they protesting? Free elections?
I know, I know..."they played on your fears"...blah blah blah...yada, yada, yada.
We're used to this crap in America...been there with Al, did that...with Al, and John.
....as Napoleon said...”...give them a wiff of the grape...”..
little green footballs has a vote going on for how many cars get torched. so far , more than 1000 has the largest vote.
“This shouldnt come as a shock to anybody, but lets have some fun with it. Well all guess numbers and whoever gets closest to the number of cars torched in France because of this wins. Im gonna be optimistic and say 100.”
OK... I’ll say 333.3333333333333333333333... (ad infinitum)
I chose this number because, based on who will be burning the cars, it is almost certain that an irrational number of cars will be burned.
It will be in the thousands. Two years ago it was a couple of thousand!
500 or so I say.
The sad part is that if Royal had won, there would still be rioting and carburning. Only the reason would change, from mourning to celebration.
