France on red alert: Macron faces calls to impose 'state of emergency' after marauding gangs with GUNS are seen rampaging in Marseille and police HQ is ransacked in fourth night of chaos

President Macron was last night facing calls to impose a state of emergency after marauding gangs of rioters - some armed with stolen rifles - clashed with police in a fourth night of mayhem.

Thousands of looters ransacked some of France's major cities as local police declared they were now at 'war' with 'savage hordes of vermin' - with officers from two of the country's biggest policing unions now threatening to revolt.

Britain's Foreign Office issued an alert to tourists thinking of travelling to France, as the violence continued to deepen following the fatal shooting of 17-year-old Nahel Merzouk who was 'executed' by French police during a traffic stop on Tuesday.

The teenager's funeral is being held today to the backdrop of large parts of France being engulfed by fires, violence and devastating riots.

More than two million Britons are set to travel to France as the summer season begins, with officials now imploring tourists to take out travel insurance as they claim it is more important than ever.

Apparently France has enlisted outside help to quell this rebellion.

This should only take nine months.

From Wikipedia it says:
"National feelings:
the country saw de Gaulle as too old, too self-centered, too authoritarian and too *conservative.*


De Gaulle was the head of the French resistance that was known to be communist.
Media had great control over what people "feel" ha ha
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/May_68#National_feelings

Similar to National *socialism* (Sozi) where "far right"

‘savage hordes of vermin’
———————
Good, at least they’re not PC. Too bad that we’re stupid enough to let in the millions comprising the ‘savage hordes of vermin.’

Those guys are no joke. Ten of them could probably quell even the biggest riot. But French law prohibits the deployment of the Legion on French soil. I suppose that if necessary, that law could be changed.

In the interim, the French have the GIGN that could be used in a few well-chosen places. Basically a counter-terrorism SWAT unit of the French national police, they as as serious as the Kepi Blancs. Formed shortly after the '72 Munich Olympics massacre, they have been quite innovative in their tactics over the years. All that is required now is the political will to use them.

Not for the president, the French president is effectively an elected monarch.

“France needs to call out the Foreign Legion and have them knock heads.”

They aren’t used internally.

I haven’t a clue of why the uprisings or who’s involved in them.

All I do know is that uprisings in France are a cultural tradition. Look at the French revolution and forward and you will see a history of angry men laying their lives down to preserve what they believe in, right or wrong.

I’m not making any judgements here, just encouraging folks to look back for the long term picture ratther than just the current events version of a momentary social construct.

History has been altered in Russia to control the minds of the average person, and it’s being done here in America, as well. What little history given to children is so boring and altered that nobody knows the trugh anymore. Find some old books.

We may get to see them ride past mile after mile of burned cars and trucks.
