Nationwide, about 89,000 police will fan out in the streets, an increase from 65,000 last weekend, when more than 130 people were injured and over 400 arrested as the protests degenerated into the worst street violence to hit the French capital in decades.

In addition to the closure of the Eiffel Tower, many shops and museums across Paris, including the Louvre, the Orsay Museum and the Grand Palais, will be shut on Saturday for safety reasons. Music festivals, operas and other cultural events in the capital were canceled.

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.

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.

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.

>>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?

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.

“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.
