    I dont watch TV news at all, but ive watched YouTube videos from the riots filmed by ordinary people. That’s probably as close to the truth you can get without being there.

      As some late night host said (Stewart?): do you think immigrants are the ones who are rioting IN FRANCE?

      Let me give you a hint: one of the places they rioted was the Bastille square.

        Videos show black men with red, white, green flags so yes, it’s not the native French. :)

        Of course it’s immigrants.

              AFAIK the protests have nothing to do with Palestine, and for far right like RN it is really easy to plant someone and to say “see? This is all caused by immigrants, if you vote for us we have a Final Solution”

              French historically are known for violent protests, the Versailles wasn’t always a museum, it used to be a house with people living there. People with heads still attached to their bodies.

          Have you seen the French national team? Judging people by their skin color is… how do you call it…
