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.

“Wait - did Prigozhin drive his tanks to Marseille? Because I was told he was going to bring chaos?”

I suspect his boys could put an end to it, quite quickly.

Pray tell - how exactly is Russia stoking this?

Did Russia let millions of North African immigrants into France?

Gangs. Ain’t it awful?

It's worse than that. It's gangs with GUNS!

Is this 1958 when the French military came out of the barracks and put De Gaulle and the Fifth Republic in power?

Or is this May 1968 when De Gaulle and the Fifth Republic put down a rebellion by Maoist French college students?

In his speech that followed the end of the rebellion, I believe De Gaulle said something about the students depositing merde in their beds.

Ironically at the same time as those French riots in 1968, the Prague Spring was happening, and then the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia. And who did those French students support? The Soviets!

Guy Gadbois...I saw that movie in a theater when it came out. Way too funny.

Yeah right. First, it won't save your life from vandals and thugs, and second you need to read the fine print. If the airline loses your luggage they will cover it. If it is removed in an armed insurrection and burned in a pile, you might spend a lot of cold days in hell before you will be indemnified.

Who wants to bet that Russian intel is stoking this.

Perhaps, but its more likely that Putin is just laughing his ass off over it because the entire western world is falling apart while trying to normalize perversion and destroy their own society. Forever war is just a symptom of a deeper disease.

Wagner Group probably stretched too thin with their new contract in Mali and all:

“Wagner Group probably stretched too thin with their new contract in Mali and all”

Very true, I was thinking that too. As it is, Europeans would likely prefer to live under Islamic Rule than to have Russians come in and help them clean up the place.

“God help them...and, even though it may be too late, THERE WAS PLENTY OF WARNING that this would happen.”

Plenty of warning that they shouldn’t have needed.... if they had any common sense. Then again, America is being run and ruined by the same mentality. It’s just taking a bit longer here.

You could probably throw Mitterand in there as well.

Is this nationwide armed uprising considered a violent insurrection yet, or would that require dropping their weapons and peaceably walking to the legislature to air their grievances and request a procedural vote?
On the scale of “peaceful protests” to “January 6th” I guess it must somewhere around a zen healing trance.

She went from 34% to 41% from 2017 to 2022 and her party went from 8 to 89 seats. I don’t see how she or whomever her party runs doesn’t win next time.
