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.

Bring on the water cannons!!!
So what does France want the US to do....extinguish 10 percent of the Sun’s out-put! If there is any warming (Satellite data says no, surface temps says yes) it’s coming from the sun since Mars’ climate has been warming and reflectivity increases have been measured from other planets as well, leading one to surmise that the sun has increased its output of late!
So translation: our sun is a variable, prepare to be cooked then frozen again!
Typical of sore-looser socialists. Remember Mexico City? Al Gore?
France doesn't go to war because it had its balls cut off approximately at Verdun, not because it solves anything without doing so. Every slow and deliberate thing France has done in its modern history has been a retreat and a surrender of western civilization.
They will not annihilate anything. Instead Sark will appeal to the press to like him for championing global warming and standing up to the US over other made up idiocies, but will be repaid with contempt and hostility. The only thing he will manage to achieve is marginally less disfunctional economic practices. Philosophically France will remain a cesspole, and internationally it will fail to accomplish anything in the present war for civilization.
I'd rather the future were brighter and the man more serious, but it isn't because he isn't. Nobody in France is up to the height of the times. And that is an affliction not limited to France.
I find a certain irony that the socialist rabble chose to riot at the Bastille.
Oh, yeah... it just screams "incredibly deeply in love with myself, and, darnit, you feel it too."
Maybe because, as stupid as his supporters were/are, they know our police and our citizens carry guns and aren't afraid to use them in defense of themselves and others.
“DOn’t cry for me, cheese-eating surrender monkeeeeeeys!”
I saw the photo about a week ago,I think. And tonight when I went searching for it I saw dozens of photos of her with her arms raised, it seems to be her thing.
Her facial expression with the head tilt in this one really struck me.
Sweet! 21st Century Lorica Segmentata.
“On my command, unleash hell!”
those rioters are punks. thank God their favorite did not get to run the country of France. If those punks were her base, France dodged a very big one. uncivilized liberal punks
who could forget Obragore.. lol
Before there can be mass extraditions, the French will have to decide to stand their ground. They stand and watch while cars burn and their culture erodes.
The woman wanting to Investigate Ohio is one of my all-time favorite photos. Thanks for posting it.
