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, an AFP journalist said.
The clashes took place on the Place de la Bastille where about 5,000 supporters of the defeated Socialist candidate Segolene Royal had gone to await the election results.
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 Sarkozy in the square before tearing it limb from limb and then stamping on it.

Sheesh, and I just got done reading 400+ posts on the Sarkozy won thread, and came away with a positive attitude for France.
(Thanks for posting.)

I don’t see anything attractive about a communist.

Riots are as much a French tradition as white flags and overpriced wine.

" Typical socialist liberal reaction. Don’t like the vote, riot. Don’t like the law, ignore it. Don’t like the speech, ban it."Hey...this sounds like the direction America is taking

"That is awful. As bad as Gore and his supporters behaved in 2000, they never resorted to that."That is because Algore didn't have the brains to think of it!

How do you identify a real 1960’s female hippy?
Check to see if the armpit hair is long & braided.

Ten more days until Sarkozy gets sworn in. Then these bastards will be crying for their mommies. The French people have just said today that they want Sarkozy to kick their a**es. And I’m sure he will deliver.
