Things are not getting better in France, Belgium, Italy and beyond as social chaos continues unfolding. The worst of the street violence seems to be centered throughout France as government officials now report around 500,000 people participated in street “protests” nationally that turned into violent confrontations with police.
EU News is reporting that dozens of arrests were made as the chaos unfolded {link}. “The French Interior Ministry said around 550,000 people took part in the protests, including roughly 110,000 in Paris.”
Additionally, AFP is reporting, “The town hall in the French city of Limoges was “largely lost” to a fire set by masked protesters on Saturday, the top regional official told AFP. “The roof has collapsed onto lower floors, except the west wing, and two-thirds of the exterior has already disappeared,” the local prefect, Maurice Barate, said.
Another report highlights the looting that quickly took place as opportunists swooped in to agitate for economic reparations in the form of Hermes swag and Apple Store tech components. {link} Looters in several French cities on Saturday broke into stores ranging from a high-end luxury brand to a bakery, on the sidelines of cost-of-living protests, AFP journalists and authorities said.
In Paris, near the Republique square, the front window of a skincare brand came crashing down, with looters tossing beauty products to dozens of people massing outside, an AFP correspondent saw.
[…] In the second-largest city of Marseille, angry protesters vandalised dozens of shops, targeting luxury brand Hermes as well as others stores selling jewellery, clothes, makeup, household appliances and even bread, a third AFP journalist said.
[…] In the northern city of Lille, shops were vandalised, with looters in particular breaking into an Apple Store in the city centre, Socialist mayor Arnaud Deslandes said.
Several stores were looted in the southern city of Nice, including sportswear outlets and a motorbike dealership. (more)
UPDATE – The town hall's historic bell tower in Limoges has collapsed. The building is on the verge of burning down.

Easily solved, EU leaders don’t have the balls.
The World is better off without the place called France.
Let it all burn.
Where will we get accordions?!?
Maybe that is what folks in other countries thought about the “Saint George-Summer of Love” here in the US?
The beautiful 143 year old town hall in Limoges, which survived two World Wars, couldn’t survive insurrectionist Islam and has collapse in flames.
Meanwhile where is Macron??
In an EU meeting on Brussels…
Priorities, priorities…
What’s with the dates?
Is this their upcoming “protest” schedule?
The fix for that is well documented and proven.
But will it be put to use?
No, it won’t be put to use. The leadership in the current French government and the elites who support them are too ashamed of their heritage to defend it. They see virtue in letting the mobs burn everything down. The French people need a new Charles Martel, but will one be found in time?
White guilt will end Europe.
Putin is right… They are destroying themselves.
Are there any White folks left? Sacré bleu!
Isn’t surrender part of their culture…..
For any voter who loves this nation but for some foolish or one issueI reason has decided to not vote on November 3…
I cannot recommend anything more urgent to read than this warning by a Frenchman whose own nation has been finished by its own traitors in power.
And I pray that it will be read by all who still, incredulously believe that this is just an “ordinary” midterm.
It is not.
A vote withheld is a vote for a party which wishes to end America.

You’ve asked, D One…
Here is your answer.

Guillotines?
Not fast enough. Machine gun and a ditch.
Too slow.
It’s up to the French and British citizens to save their nations now. And it’s now or never … .
Without an armed citizenry that is a big ask.
Look at all those French men.
Marseilles…
“Looters”…
To the victor belong the spoils…
Monkeys is not the word I would have chosen.
Only guns and copious amounts of ammo can solve the situation.
Even if the French had the guns, would they use them?
Gotta have something to tie the white flag onto.
France will never be France again. Coming to an open border country near you. America, wake the F up!
We don’t have an open border anymore.
France needs to die.
It has been the beating heart of the EU.
Dead France = Dead EU
This will come here pretty soon.
Europe is just ahead of the curve.
It’s already been here with leftist in the south tearing down our military monuments.
I bet 8 guys and 8 glocks could shut this F’ ery down in 8 minutes.
When you respond to a bloody coup attempt by making “dozens of arrests”, you are done.
I know right! But does France even have a military? Might be time to deploy them.
Yeah they’re the ones waving the white flags.
Where arw the police? Where is the military in all of this? The only logical conclusion I can come to is that they aren’t arresting rioters/stacking bodies of attackers because the governments there *want* the violence and destruction. Then begs the questions: where do they think this will lead when their nations are in ruins and the only citizens left are violent people opposed to the very nation its self? Do they really think they’ll maintain power, or is there another motivation?
How sad. And that’s what might be voted in here.
“Angry Protesters”… Bah! Violent looters and miscreants!
THIS is why Americans will never give up our guns.
But RUSSIA.
Where is macron?
Is there no French military to come put a stop to this, similar to our National Guard?
Has France surrendered already? Without even a hint of fighting to defend itself?
Nah. Fighting is hard. They skip right to the surrendering part.
Well macron was at a concert.
Guess he was too busy to care for his country.
So many like him.
“I have great respect for the thousands of people who today demonstrated peacefully, including those who took part in the mobilization called by the CGIL, which also saw the participation of left-wing leaders. Whatever the ideas for which one demonstrates, participation is the foundation of any healthy democracy.
On the other hand, however, we cannot ignore what happened in other Italian squares. In Milan, as these images show, stones were thrown at the Law Enforcement Forces, officers were injured, damage and violence occurred that forced the interruption of the procession. In Turin, people were stopped carrying cobblestones and window-breaking hammers. In Bologna, the disorders led to the precautionary closure of the railway station.
Thugs who exploit demonstrations to sow chaos, attack those who ensure security, and hold entire cities hostage.
Demonstrating is a right. Setting our cities ablaze is not.
I renew my request to the opposition: do not be ambiguous about this. Unequivocally condemn these acts of violence and issue a clear appeal for every mobilization to be peaceful.
In the face of scenes like these, the rejection must be unanimous. Any hesitation becomes justification. Silence is not acceptable.”
Legacy CBS news headlines this as a “scuffle” in Paris…
Tousi is live right now.
And if you poke around on more generalist social media, you’ll find that the europeans vigorously insist that all of their troubles are somehow the fault of the Americans, Donald Trump, and a variety of shadowy crypto-jews.
Never mind that their countries are being burned down by inbred feral muzzies.
For some reason, the term “Build Back Better” comes to my mind. Is that wrong?
All across the west, the union of violence between communists and islamists are wreaking havok. This will soon be happening here on a large scale unless stamped out quickly and harshly.
🍿
“…economic reparations in the form of Hermes swag…”
Well, Hermes is the “god” of thieves. . .
Only cowardice and treason prevents the French government from calling in the military and ordering them to open fire on this mob.
Protecting lives and property should be priority for the countries leaders.
They are failing their citizens.
Hopefully people in USA will see this and realize how critical it is to vote.
Preview, we already had this in Seattle, Portland and Minnesota… remember the ” mostly peaceful”.?
Let them eat Falafel.
This is the “Great Reset”, this is what the EU plan represents.
Notice that Macron has vanished, silence, this is the reset, all by design.
Total destruction of a free and civil society will be achieved very quickly in France when their law enforcement is put out to the wolves as cannon fodder, when the wolves destroy law enforcement a foreign military force will be brought in to regain total control, it will resemble Tiananmen Square.
The local society will have nothing!
We saved the French people and French Republic once, we ain’t doin it again….
