France Deploys 45,000 Police on Fifth Night of Nationwide Riots
Breitbart ^ | 7/2/23 | Breitbart London staff

The French government said Sunday that hundreds more had been arrested in a fifth night of rioting sparked by the police killing of a 17-year-old, as police deployed reinforcements to flashpoint cities around the country.

Protesters, mostly minors, have torched cars, damaged infrastructure and clashed with police in an outpouring of rage since an officer shot Nahel M. point blank as he attempted to flee a traffic stop on Tuesday.

The killing was captured on video, which spread on social media and fueled anger over police violence against minorities, exposing severe racial tensions in France.

A day after Nahel was laid to rest in his home town near Paris, the interior ministry said police had made 719 arrests overnight — still a provisional tally — after around 1,300 the previous night.

Some 45 police officers or gendarmes were injured, 577 vehicles torched, 74 buildings set on fire and 871 fires set in streets and other public spaces, it said.

The minority ghettos are slums where the worst of this is festering. The program to stop this nonsense should be as follows.

1) Legalize immediate deportation of any foreign national committing violent acts and riot. Minimal court interference.

2) Bulldoze these ghettos, while withdrawing the welcome mat to new arrivals or returnees. Those who have behaved themselves since arrival may be allowed to stay.
