It is unfortunate that you don't read french, I went to a several french website and it is a different story. It is reported that there were a few illegals but most were legal and the problem was that they were evacuated from the building because the city wanted to build new housing. Their problem was that they were not offered any garantee that the would be relocated thus the protest. You might say that someone should not wait for handouts but in any case the barbaric act that I saw was not justified and if you were treated like this, God forbid, it would have been equally disgusting
