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.

And they want to go to war with Russia?
The coalition of the ”willing”are fools.
Where is the short Corsican Brigadier General who will use grapeshot to disperse the crowd?
Yes they do. Young French men will be conscripted, sent into a meatgrinder. The “guest” immigrants will do their part “protecting” communities in France while the young Frenchmen are sent to war and death.
I’m sure they’ll be comforted to know how nice the “guests” are to “protect” their moms, wives, daughters and boys while they are off protecting France from bad ‘ol Putin.
The need for the short Corsican has most likely been overcome by events. The French had better start looking for a Charles Martel to stop the Moslem takeover of their nation. Probably too late, and it’s probably impossible to find a real man, i.e., a Charles Martel, aka “the Hammer,” in France today. Maybe Macron’s “wife” will opt for the job!
Let it burn! We will build back better. Trust them.
Exactly!
The riot (or any other calamity) “represents a rare but narrow window of opportunity to reflect, reimagine, and reset our world to create a healthier, more equitable, and more prosperous future.” 🤮
The French military should step in. Arrest Macron for gross dereliction and failure to faithfully execute his duties. Shoot a couple people-it will only take a couple to send the message. Can you imagine being a shop keeper and your whole life wrapped up in your store and these ferals are allowed to run riot with impunity-and destroy your life. While the politicians do nothing. Disgraceful
Should, but won’t happen.
Macringe purged his military command structure long ago.
All that is left are communists who want the gov’t to have to declare marshal law and turn France into a dictatorship again.
“purged his military command”
France also purged command ranks after WWI for political reasons, we saw how that worked out.
Marshal Dillon could sure skin that smoke pole in double-quick time.
It seems appropriate to share this again.
Of note, it partly explains why policemen do nothing about illegal immigrants and their crimes.
There but for the grace of God and the elections of President Trump go we.
”Macron “recognised Palestine” while Paris is unrecognisable.” I guess what we didn’t know was Macron gave France to the Palestinians! Who knew?
“recognised Palestine” This is why the other Islamic countries don’t want them.
Arm the police with the heaviest weaponry possible and tell them to open fire on any rioters or looters anywhere, anytime. Riots would stop immediately. It’s being allowed because the psychotic leftist leaders want it.
You do know that half the gendarmerie and police are Moozies and illegals, right? And the other half arrest and assault French who misgender, didn’t wear Scamdemic masks, who try to farm and raise livestock, who protest illegals, post mean memes.
Yep, giving them heavy weaponry sounds like a wonderful idea!!
sarc
Then they are screwed unless they can put a force together to stop this.
Who’s orchestrating this?
those who cannot be named
Stop asking questions you already know the answer to.
BLM “reparations” European style. Riot police should be using live ammo indiscriminately. OR… round all these rioters up and ship them to the Ukraine for use as cannon fodder.
These stories remind us how important the upcoming elections are. Imagine those unarmed European citizens having to fight the globalists with a Demonrat Congress, who are globalists themselves.
Phew. Glad I made it home from the UK this week unscathed. Saw none of this but we also spent a lot of time in the Scottish Highlands. They have a history of “intolerance” lol.
Let it BURN.
My GOD Europe is finished. I can’t belive it.
France, UK and EU are lost to the NAZI war machine against Russia. Who would have thunk it possible.
Europe is a mess turning into a catastrophe.
Unfortunately for the Euros, the worse it gets the greater the opportunity for us to see very clearly the consequences of invited, feral invaders flooding countries and destroying their cultures.
We’ll see if it’s not too late for America to successfully defend itself from civilization-wrecking migrant hoards.
