Shocking images have emerged showing the destruction in Paris as rioters ignored President Emmanuel Macron's calls for peace on Sunday.

US Rep. Ro Khanna voices support for protesters Democratic Congressman Ro Khanna, of California, shared his support for the protesters in France on Sunday as he called for a new 'New Deal.' 'From the high schools of France to the streets of Madrid, to the universities of Tirana, young people are telling their governments the same thing: in an age of massive wealth inequality, they want a future they can believe in,' he posted on X. Khanna went on to explain that the protesters in France are 'asking for safe schools, enough teachers and smaller classes' before he hit out at Vice President JD Vance for blaming the protests on immigrants. '@JDVance says this is what happens when a nation lets in too many immigrants from the global south,' he wrote. 'He is not just morally wrong, but misreading the moment. [This] is what happens when nations let wealth and power accumulate in the hands of a few. This is what happens when young people lose hope in their future. 'In America, let us listen to our young. We need an economic and political transformation - America's Next New Deal.'

What Ro Khanna ignores is that here in the United States we have the 2nd Amendment. You harm my family, my home, my business get ready for all hell to be unleashed on you

They will claim it’s for the children and a long list of other nonsense reasons.

But that is EXACTLY why true leftists want to grab your guns.

And the sheep on the pasture, mindless and clueless, think you’re a nut job to worry about that wolf.

[rktman]

Sadly, France has strict gun control. Well for law abiding folks.

I have never seen a less accomplished pol with such outsized aspirations as Ro Khanna.

I guess that makes him Obama in drag.

Next Sunday, the Pittsburg Steelers are playing the New Orleans Saints in St. Denis, France at 2:30 p.m. France time, 9:30 a.m. Eastern U.S. time. As of today, the game is still on. St. Denis is only 6.6 miles from Paris. George Soros is probably booking buses right now. St. Denis had riots in later September, early October this year. Nothing stopping the muzzies from doing it again.

protesters ignore Macron’s plea

Can anyone imagine Trump "pleading" with protesters in the US ?

[slapshot]

Notice no mosques have been burned or trashed during the French riots

[Lx]

If the violence benefits LePen, then I wonder who is really behind it? Is it trump’s puppet master Putin?

Are social media platforms like Twitter, TikTok and Instagram promoting violence and anti immigrant hatred? why yes, yes they are. Who owns those platforms and what are their political persuasions?
They think they’re Jean Paul Marat when really they’re Temu Goebbels.

[Veto!]

\.......”Next Sunday, the Pittsburg Steelers are playing the New Orleans Saints in St. Denis, France “

Who brilliant idea was that? Can;t imagine that the French are football fans.

ALL DEMOCRATS LOVE RIOTS AND DESTRUCTION!!!! ALL of THEM!

[Ann Archy]

Interesting!! Bet it’s cancelled.

[Kudsman]

Probably where the “students” store the bricks and gatorade.

[Mr. K]

Who is Rioting against who in France?

[trebb]

“Immigrants” in the EU are becoming like Kudzu in the US - once you let it take root, there’s no stopping it and it strangles everything native to death.

[mewzilla]

Meanwhile, Macron has bugged out on a 3 day junket if the Middle East.

Run away!!!!!

[Sicon]

I'm not shocked at all.

"An estimated 220,000 Muslims live within the proper city limits of Paris, making up roughly 10% to 15% of the city's population. When looking at the broader Paris metropolitan region (Île-de-France), the population is significantly higher, with an estimated 1.7 million Muslims residing across the city and its surrounding suburbs (banlieues)."

[TalBlack]

So they’re still “protestors” not “rioters”? I wonder how come that is? What do they have to do to crossover into being rioters?

[Mr. Jeeves]

What do they have to do to crossover into being rioters?

Wear MAGA hats.
