Rioting and looting spreads across France and into Belgium after 'execution' killing of teenage driver: Fury at President Macron as he parties with Elton John as his country burns

Rioting and looting spread across Europe last night after the 'execution' killing of a teenager in Paris - as pictures emerged of President Emmanuel Macron partying with Elton John while his country burnt, triggering a furious backlash.

Mr Macron was filmed at Paris's Accor Arena on Wednesday evening, watching the singer on his farewell tour, while rioters caused mayhem in the capital following the fatal shooting of a 17-year-old identified as Nahel on Tuesday.

The French President was snapped arm in arm with the legendary 76-year-old artist - who he bestowed France's Legion of Honour award - alongside his wife Brigitte.

But while Macron was hobnobbing backstage, police were locked in fierce clashes with protesters, making 150 arrests nationwide - as public anger spilled out onto the streets of France's major cities for a third night.

Protesters torched cars, barricaded roads and hurled projectiles at police. Other rioters scrawled 'Vengeance for Nahel' across buildings and bus shelters as a bank was set ablaze.

And in a fresh escalation of the chaos, violent clashes reportedly spread into the Belgium capital of Brussels, amid fears further protests could spread to other European capitals.

In a desperate attempt to quell the civil unarrest, some 40,000 French cops are today being deployed nationwide.

But Macron's photo with Elton ignited outrage overnight, with Thierry Mariani, an MEP with Marine Le Pen's National Rally, raging: 'While France was on fire, Macron applauded Elton John', the Telegraph reported.

Whatever people have said and still about the french people, they have been almost the only people in the EU to stand up against the injustice that is being perpetrated across the world.

So “people of color” emigrate to a predominantly white country and then proceed to loot, burn, and destroy it. Just like Detroit, Chicago, St Louis etc.

Migrants always riot whenever a white kills one of theirs. Never visa versa.

Algerians rioted to throw out the French colonialists. Then they moved to France to continue rioting.

Its a sign that France is such a modern, civilized and progressive country!

Nothing wrong with Macron partying as animals killed each other.

'While France was on fire, Macron applauded Elton John',

I actually saw the Elton John in concert during his farewell tour last year. I was amazed at the 75-year-old's ability to still perform on stage.

I'm with Macron. I'd rather go see Elton John than be in France right now.

Because money is worshipped more than personal morality. Or his own security detail would off his ass tonight for moral reasons.

We have that same problem here too...

so you must stop your life completely if people want to riot? huh?

watch first 1min10secs of the following. man says what the media are saying about the young man who was killed is wrong. he was a good boy, etc.

if so, why hasn’t the FakeNewsMSM reported what French media is saying?

BBC (top story all buletins) on down have been virtually inciting riots since this incident happened, and it would seem they’d like the riots to go on for weeks.

meant to add BBC and other FakeNewsMSM keep going on about Nanterre being a poor area...but the young man was driving an unlicensed Mercedes AMG.

MSM also suggesting there’s a long history of such killings, and then bringing up an incident in 2005, when two teenagers were killed by the police.

BBC also speaking to the young man’s Mum (not the less emotional mother), then speaking to his attorney and asking how is his family feeling, so he can repeat everything Mum has already said.

MSM is an absolute disgrace.

I’m not even saying this killing was fine, but let the courts sort it out now, and stop exploiting it, MSM.

What caused all the rioting is buried all the way to the end of this long article.

“Mr Prache, the Nanterre prosecutor, said officers tried to stop Nahel because he looked so young and was driving a Mercedes with Polish licence plates in a bus lane.

He ran a red light to avoid being stopped then got stuck in traffic. Both officers involved said they drew their guns to prevent him from fleeing.

The officer who fired a single shot said he feared he and his colleague or someone else could be hit by the car, according to Mr Prache. The officers said they felt ‘threatened’ as the car drove off.

He said two magistrates are leading the investigation, as is common in France. Preliminary charges mean investigating judges strongly suspect wrongdoing but need to investigate more before sending the case to trial. The police officer was in provisional detention, prosecutors said.”

That doesn't explain why our governments forbid whites to defend themselves.

Non-whites can rob, assault, rape, or murder whites, and are either released or mildly punished.

But if whites defend themselves, they face severe prison sentences.

Whites can defend themselves against thugs. It's march harder to defend yourself against thugs and the police, FBI, D.A., courts -- not to mention the media demonization and social ostracism you'd suffer if you defend yourself.

Why should Macron care. The republicans that we had to vote for or the country would die, lead by trumps McCarthy just financed the biggest globalist wealth redistribution and backing that up with a militarized IRS.

I hate to root for globalist turds but I hope Macron crushes the revolt of the invaders. He’ll probably do sweet f.a.

The death toll of invaders will be disappointing I’m sure. Like 3 or something unfortunately.

So Macron has turned the French police into the equivalent of a PMC the size of Wagner to try to hold down his own people.

Yet the media wants to claim Putin is weakened by rebellion.
