Yesterday several cities and urban areas throughout France began using curfews in an attempt to stop the riots and looting that have erupted throughout the country. Today, they announce the military will be mobilized to support police efforts.
FRANCE – France is set to deploy the military to the streets to maintain order as protests in the country escalate.
The Sentinelle force, created in 2015 after a wave of terrorist attacks in Paris, will be used “mainly on static security missions.”
French Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez told lawmakers that the deployment can free up police officers and gendarmes to carry out law enforcement operations.
Elsewhere, Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu said the government will carry out a “massive” security operation next weekend to prevent new incidents. He also claimed that there will be new curfews “where the situation requires it.”
The decision led to reduced chaos on Monday night, according to Lecornu. Some areas, including Les Halles and parts of central Lyon saw a curfew last night. Lille and Nice imposed curfews for minors.
[…] According to the French Ministry of Interior, over half a million joined the demonstrations on Saturday. Lecornu said 1,200 people had been arrested and 150 police officers had been injured.
In some areas, protests descended into looting and rioting. Shops were looted in Paris, Marseille, Nice, Nantes, Bordeaux, Limoges, Lille, Toulouse and Strasbourg, the French news agency AFP reported. (read more)
Saints fans Paris: Louvre is closed. Curfews in effect. Game day: stay close to the Stadium, go directly from the train station to the stadium then back to the train station-do NOT wander into the neighborhood.

Such demonstrations would include throwing stones,… pic.twitter.com/QGmitrJI7S

France …waited long enough to get control.
Days late … finally the police.
Probably taking action because they realize it’s helping MAGA midterms.
I didn’t see the words “shoot to kill” anywhere in the article, so nothing will be substantially fixed here.
You loot, we shoot might also get their attention. Inspector Clouseau needs to start watching La French EBay.
They do work those billy clubs, at least they have those.
Open up a can of whoop a**!
So strange you’ll never see those animal invaders pulling any of their bs in rural areas of the US on their last day
Well, it’s hard to wave a white flag and shoot a gun at the same time!
It’s a test run for 2030 when they take on the Russians. Should be interesting.
Announce warnings nobody can miss. Then whoever remains on the street doing bad things – shoot to kill.
Troops with automatic weapons on the ground and a bunch of snipers.
Problem solved in less than one hour.
Nudge things like mass immigration flooding and racial animus for years.
Congratulate yourself on resulting strife and riots, the planned outcomes.
Next step: Crack down with the military, also planned from the beginning to put fear into the populace so they will be controllable.
Behave like a mad dog, get put down like a mad dog. No apologies.
Karma can be a real bitch sometimes!
I agree. So why don’t we do that in this country? Just asking!
There will probably be so many restrictions on the military that they will mostly just be in the way. But the lame French government will be seen to be doing something.
The French Military has a long history of being a mere speed bump.
“DROP YOUR WEAPONS!”
**clatter, clatter**
“Not you, idiots! The looters!”
Maybe they should put restrictions on the rioters, too, just to be fair!

He’s not even in France.
And when he is in France he is attending some concert or other social event. Of course, since he is a Leftist himself, he is probably far more in sympathy with the rioters than with the people suffering from the rioting.
Only a few years ago those police would have been vilified by the press, with government resignations offered. Things are changing in Europe far faster than most expected, accelerated by these recent scenes of tribal violence. If their ‘protests about schools’ continues then pretty soon those batons are going to be hitting skulls, not the backs of the thighs.
Le Pen is leading in the polls on an anti-illegal invader platform. So, they will fake tough and then not follow through.
Smoking cigarettes is bad for your health and for everybody’s health around you.
Unless you’re playing solitaire till dawn with a deck of fifty one.
Don’t forget to watch Captain Kangaroo…..too!
Don’t tell me I got nothing to do.
Ha! Good one !
And watching Captain Kangaroo.
How about this—Use the military to kill the murderous invaders and to prevent another invasion.
CONUS
Days of feigned police impotence to necessitate movement toward Marshal (Pétain) Law?
(IYKYK)
Coming soon to DFW, Arlington, McKinney, Frisco, Harris County Texas. I say this as a frustrated Texan.
Prayers to you and all of my Texas cousins!
So, IOW, if you’re a normal real French citizen, and you’re out past curfew- straight to jail or a cracked skull.
The invaders will still be given space.
LOL.. The French Military. At least nobody will be shot, including the rioter however.
They can track the money and organizers but they won’t
There were reports by the police that some rioters were carrying AK-47’s. Sorry, but if you show up to a protest carrying a machine gun, you instantly get categorized as an armed insurgent and shoot to kill should be applicable.
The French are known to be staunch conservatives of water resources when it comes to personal hygiene so I can only imagine the stench down there. Perhaps the profligate use of fire hoses in this case would be dually effective since none of the French have any firearms.
Eau de LePew
Following historic building being burnt down and Jewish biz’s burnt to the ground; high-end stores looted and merchandise being resold on the streets.
Yet, we see, NO brown people stores were affected…..so, isn’t that amazing or it was mapped and routed out by WHOM????????
Bullets needed to fly on Sunday!!! Bullets that killed…….yes, I said, killed.
I remember reading about rioting Islamists tearing up France daily 20 years ago.
And they just kept importing more.
They blamed it on school access then, too.
But we all know the truth.
How’s that working out?
But the tipping point IS getting ever closer.
Liberals have blurred the lines between protesting and rioting.
Only when it is the Left rioting, then it is only a protest. But if you are a Conservative, then protesting is nothing less than a riot, if not a full-blown insurrection. Their blurring works both ways depending on who you are.
Why no water cannons on the filth that slimes the streets of Paris?
Macron is weak. With luck somewhere in the French army is someone ambitious enough to use a whiff of grapeshot.
France has never been all that politically stable. In the past 250 years they’ve had five republics, two empires and a Nazi puppet state. It’s not hard to imagine a military coup against Macron.
Retired Magistrate here: Will they be handing out snacks to the rioters?
And bandaids if they trip.
Prayer rugs, most likely.
Just as the British panjandrums were handing out taxpayer funded hijabs to members of the invasionarin forces they were protecting and escorting in to their taxpayer funded new digs. The government claimed against the outcry that it was a legal requirement to do so.
“Human rights” and all that…
(I watched a short video of one “rioter” who stopped his “rioting” to kneel and “pray”.)
Not sure but they’ll probably be handing out some really nice participation trophies.
French leadership lets thugs into their country, turns the country into a police state because the thugs start acting like thugs, all while blaming it on their own citizens? This is the predictable outcome of socialist rule.
They can guard the ashes!
It’s going to take bullets not batons. Macron might consider reinstating the guillotine.
Bon chance, Paris, Marseille, Nice, Nantes, Bordeaux, Limoges, Lille, Toulouse and Strasbourg….
Macron might be subject to the guillotine by a mob or a coup if this continues.
Should be
I worked with US forces who had to work closely with French military forces in Afghanistan, and honestly, from t he reports I got, the French some of the most reliable and competent soldiers that our own forces could rely on to have their backs. (At the time, the Brits were the best. The Germans were useless, as they had to call Berlin to get permission to shoot hostile forces. The stories I could tell….)
Yeah, I know–kind of surprising, as I had previously painted all French military with same broad stereotype: good for appeasement, retreat, and/or surrender. I don’t default to this any more…..
It took seven wars and the entirety of Europe to stop Napoleon.
What would Napoleon have done in this situation?
How many mosques got burned down? None.
If a mosque had been burned to the ground, we would have seen some real strength in today’s government actions.
Crew-served, heavy machine guns.
Who are all the people invading the Treehouse advocating murder? (And being allowed to stay apparently). I’ve been here since about 2010 and I have never seen this before.
Rage instigators.
Islamics advocate murder all the time. It is built into their creed. If you don’t understand that you yourself will end up getting crushed.
French elite are saying: This is unfolding just as we planned.
In preparations for encounters with the rioters each unit will be issued a white flag.
Wake me up when the French and Italian governments indicate they’re serious about the social unrest in their respective nations by announcing the start of mass deportations and the end of financial support for the Neo-Nazi regime in Kiev.
They’re not serious. Never have been. Why not? Because this isn’t about the rioters. After all, these people were let in by government policies against the will of the people. No, this is about CONTROL. Government control of the whole population. Total government control is only possible if sufficient numbers of the population are unruly. The local population didn’t rise to that level, hence, import people that DO rise to that level and use their anarchy to crack down on EVERYBODY. It’s the socialist way.
I just don’t get what this was all about.
It’s sort of like Cueta? Out of the blue Moroccans overtake a Spanish enclave?
Then thousands upon thousands burn Paris and other cities but there was no trigger.
Was it a practice run for something else?
FAFO
It will calm things down just enough to not solve the root cause, but enough to let the boiling frogs feel better while their water continues to heat up.
There really needs to be a BIG catastrophe to get people off their arses. Not this penny ante stuff. Someone needs to do some serious impaling to get the situation to a real resolution.
Defund Soros
The biggest problem is no one in France will shoot the looters. Simple, effective solution. One or two shot and the rioting ends.
Horses well & truly out. We will close the barn door says France.
Should have never gotten to this point !
First couple of perps get good ol’ fashion wood shampoos it sets the tone
I’ll wager there are a whole bunch of pig farmers out in the countryside who would love to bring their herds into the affected towns and turn them loose to “graze”. Turn ’em loose and watch the panic begin.
Macron and Meloni aren’t doing enough to support their Muslim citizens. It looks like they’re on the edge of a genocide. Muslims have always wanted France and Italy. That stinking Islamaphobe Charlie the Hammer kept this from happening but only by killing fathers, brothers and sons through violence.
