France in flames: Fireballs engulf 15 vehicles as violent mob hurls petrol bombs at police

Violence broke out late on Tuesday evening with flames erupting from cars and vans in several places in the district. Smoke and the smell of burnt metal smothered the neighbourhood, with local residents terrified of the horrific acts taking place around them. In the early hours of this morning, young people from the city, many wearing hoods, broke car windows and threw molotov cocktails inside them.

More than a dozen of the hooded mob made their way across the city on foot and by car, with some 50 other youngsters attending the chaotic scene.

Several other residents in the neighbourhood looked on terrified from their windows as the explosions of burning cars continued.

A distraught woman burst into tears as her family car exploded into flames.

That’s a big reason why I would never live in a city like SF or Paris - you have to park on the street, unless you’re really wealthy and can afford a big house with a garage.

I like having a garage to tuck my cars into when they’re not being used.

Who were these people? I can’t access the original article. Did they have a cause, or was it just random violence?

“Who were these people? I can’t access the original article. Did they have a cause, or was it just random violence?”

A pretty reliable rule is to see what group is not mentioned. Not mentioned in France? Religion of peace?
Not mentioned in U.S.? Gibsmedat.

I know they’ve been protesting the covid pass. Don’t know if this riot was an extension of that, but that’s what I assumed. Could be wrong, and the article doesn’t say.

"About fifteen cars were set on fire and the police were targeted by fireworks mortars after a local youth was arrested for trafficking in the morning."

LOL, Cops arrest Drug Dealer and "youths" retaliate with Terrorist Attacks.

My goodness, those French youth are at it again. Yves and Jean-Claude are playing practical jokes again.

Sounds like Muslims but there are riots in other parts of France over Covid-19 vaccine mandates too.

We may not be getting the whole story.

I think the article would have mentioned if it was Covid protests, and the MO doesn’t sound like it was.

France owns a private island west of Mexico and central America. It is an uninhabited place called Clipperton Island.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clipperton_Island

France should turn it into a new version of Devil’s Island, but more like Gitmo. At 2.3 square miles, they could empty their prisons of violent illegals.

They would have been killed by the authorities if that was the case.
