It’s all very depressing.

[Scott from the Left Coast]

Depressing?

This may be what takes to save western civilization.

What is depressing is that we allowed ourselves to be so deceived and used for so long.

Chamber of Commerce,

the CHEAP FOREIGN LABOR is burning down your shops
and businesses.

LOL Dumbsh?ts!

[dfwgator]

Compared to May, 1968, this is nothing.

[hinckley buzzard]

You make a good point. There is no reason for us to be gladdened by this development. France is worth more as a stable ally than a chaotic adversary. These rioters are subject to being steered by forces that are not our friends.

“This may be what takes to save western civilization. What is depressing is that we allowed ourselves to be so deceived and used for so long.”

I agree, entirely. That's one of the major reasons this is so depressing. There are still way too many people who actually think that Marx was a brilliant hero - though the reality is that his personal resentment of society has led to the deaths of 100s of millions. We are living in a time during which academia has failed civilization because they let their egos lead them to blind hubris, as opposed to the vision of truth made perceivable via humility.

no doubt about that, watch the cars burn.

but this time is different: tax revolters, anti-GLOBALISTS and leftist anarchists.

all I can say is, the enemy of your enemy is your friend.

GLOBALISTS in europe are not our ally, any more than the deep state GLOBALISTS are here.

And apparently they are underachievers.

True. Let’s see if Macron has to flee the country..

Muslims are never my friend. Not if they are really muslims.

[a fool in paradise]

>>the worst street violence to hit the French capital in decades.

Did the French ever mount this kind of authoritarian response to the annual muslim youths’ torching cars?

[Freeport]

Simple solution; they want blood? You got it! Send in the troops with simple orders; No quarter, no prisoners.

Bring in bucket loaders an dump trucks to clean up, wash down with fire hoses, done.

[I want the USA back]

“macaroon?” I like it!

Why would any tourist go to Paris now? skip it. Wait till the French elect someone who truly wants to make France Great Again.

[stellaluna]

Why? There are other places to vacation and the French will forget this in a few weeks

more than 130 people were injured and over 400 arrested

which is just a slow weekend in Chicago. :^)
