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.

Royal encouraged this.Yes she did. To make a last ditch hail mary by claiming that if her opponent won there would be riots was beyond reckless and crossing into criminal. That woman has set back the idea of a LIBERAL female French leader for at least a decade. Disgusting!

Agreed. Other than being a MILF, however, Royal was worthless.

Royal warned of called for riots last week, conditional on the Sarkozy win.

Royal is NOT a MILF.
She is French. This means she had great gobs of matted hair sticking out of her armpits and smells like sour goat milk.

Some of us love our women “raw”, although the goat milk is kinda gross.

By the way, I had watched the movie "American Pie" years ago. Awhile back, someone posted MILF and I had forgotton what it meant.
A word of advice to all those here - be careful when you Google "MILF." Ha.

To: technomage
I was beginning to worry that similar would happen here back in 2000, and again in 2004... the liberals here are just like the socialists over there... sore loosers.
Do they forget that they had a vote? The majority spoke - get over it.

“Please, you folks who think this guy is some conservative champion are fooling yourselves. He is just another lefty, just not as left as the other A-hole.”
I’ve been refraining from making that point because everyone seems to be having so much fun. He’s more of a nationalistic socialist seems to me but a socialist nonetheless. Kind of like a “moderate” Democrat.
