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.
Every time I went to France after 9/11 (2003, 2009, 2013, 2019), there was heavily armed police and/or soldiers on the streets. It’s nothing new or exceptional. It’s strange why they did not deploy them BEFORE the riots. My opinion is that the government wanted this to happen. Who knows, maybe Macron wants to assume full powers to stop Marine Le Pen.
Yeah but don’t forget the concert…..
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
Please stop daring them . Let the democrat run cities take care of their commie friends. I moved here for peace and quiet, and the deer would hate it.
Not far from my house is a little town called Bethel.
6-15-2020 some local AWFL got the idea to have a blm support march.
It didn’t go well for the “protesters”.
Lol! In two different cities in both eastern Washington and North Idaho the BLM Pantifa trash tried their BS and were met by so many armed citizens they couldn’t leave fast enough. The conservative mayor of Spokane at the time had to have a news conference asking “Please let our police handle this”. It was hilarious.
Even in NY state there are many neighborhoods with zero tolerance for that sheet. In my area it was a scene right out of Goodfellas when the bikers entered that mob bar..
Suffice it to say it did not end well here for the BLM protestors. Some were so intimidated they were begging for police escorts from the area. Begging the same cops they spat at earlier.
I think most of them were college kids too. If so, that extra credit definitely wasn’t worth it. Lol
A Bronx Tale…..wonderful scene….
I remember this….it was beautiful thing….
My family is from eastern WA originally. I was born there. My older brother lives in Clarkston. He has been a DJT supporter from the get-go.
I left in ‘74. Moved back for a bit in 2010-2011. I couldn’t take the dreariness, so southward I did trek. I have s sister who still lives on the west side of the Cascades. She is away from King and Pierce Cos, thankfully.
About the time you get east of the Cascades most of the leftist ignorance stops
I remember that time well. I love Eastern Washington and Northern Idaho! Great Patriots! Keep moving! Lol
Wut animal invaders? Not here now.
Behind every blade of grass is a gun.
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.
They will be fresh out of white flags by 2030, all they will have is those fake palestinian flags…
No doubt the french “military” will be passing out white flags to the muslims in hopes the muzzies will use them…
Dogs. The police need to use attack dogs. Many muslims hate dogs.
Everyone hates attack dogs. Grrrrrr
Run a herd of pigs through the crowds.
Spray bacon water from drones on the crowds
THEN send the dogs in
Crop dusters with pigs blood would be more effective
No. These are not situations for K-9 dogs or horses. Too many crazy people, too much violence.
Or attack pigs. Muslims will run on sight. Not halal.
A couple belt fed machine guns might get their attention….
Democrat Mayor Richard Daley faced this exact circumstance in May 1968. He was decisive.
https://chicagoreader.com/news/shoot-to-kill-shoot-to-maim/
“I have conferred with the superintendent of police this morning and I gave him the following instructions, which I thought were instructions on the night of the fifth that were not carried out. I said to him very emphatically and very definitely that [he should issue an order] immediately and under his signature to shoot to kill any arsonist or anyone with a Molotov cocktail in his hand in Chicago because they’re potential murderers, and to issue a police order to shoot to maim or cripple any arsonists and looters–arsonists to kill and looters to maim and detain.”
Daley said he thought these instructions shouldn’t have been needed. “I assumed any superintendent would issue instructions to shoot arsonists on sight and to maim looters, but I found out this morning this wasn’t so and therefore gave him specific instructions.”
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.
Create chaos = announce curfews = violent response to curfews = bring in the police/military = declare national emergency = declare martial law = cancel elections…
There: solved the LePen problem….
Macron: See, I fixed it!
Its worse.then that. Facism requires a hate group. The elites imported one. The Government will flip on a dime they will have no problem whipping up the frenzie. The elites still control the military and the guns. They have successfully set the ground work to ghettoize the problem folks till they can figure out a final solution. The elites get control of the capital without actually owning the capital. The people loose their souls in the blood lust.
Human shells are easy to control see the last 60 years of German history. History rhymes in all the times.
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!
First amendment, right to peacefully protest and assemble.
The government sets the parameters. Of late, the parameters have been quite wide.
I ask the same question when I see protesters blocking and occupying streets. This is unlawful, but allowed.
Governments have been far too tolerant. Blue states. Blue cities. They obviously encourage the mayhem.
Encourages.. facilitates.. funds.. the lines between the white hats and the black hats are all so blurred these days.
…..Like …’mostly peaceful protests…?….’
’cause we don’t have the balls to do it… Remember when ICE ran like hell out of Minnesomalia instead of arresting the rioters and the somali fraudsters?…
that was an embarrassment to America First… a betrayal really.
ICE’s job description does not include riot control.
Matt Morse TV
This maybe why:
April 7, 1968. (D) Richard Daley: Shoot to Kill Arsonists.
Quicker solution to all of this crap, is to immediately jail those who are fomenting and dollar-supporing it. None of this is “grass-roots or spontaneous”.
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!”
Haha.. that could be a scene from a Mel Brooks movie!
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.
Reminds us of cokehead…never home where so many of his citizens are supposedly being killed. Or Mayor in LA, as the city was burning …
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.
I’m counting the flowers on the wall. And I’m not bothered at all.
Ha! Good one !
And watching Captain Kangaroo.
How about this—Use the military to kill the murderous invaders and to prevent another invasion.
CONUS
‘Got my vote….
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!
Yes!
As a native Texan, born and raised in Laredo, I just don’t understand how modern day “texans”have let this happen…
Texas has been invaded by people from Californication and other liberal cesspools that brought their liberal, far left, woke ideology with them and they have encouraged this and allowed this to happen. It’s gonna take real Texans to stop it.
Go ahead, keep blaming Californians. I been to Austin.
LBJ, Great Society
Bush, War on Terror
John Cornyn, Treason
Tex Watson, Cielo Drive
I could keep going, and thanks for sending Willie Brown to Cali.
PS: I had an open invitation to complaining Texans in California for a free ride to the State line, Bus Station or airport, and use of luggage, none accepted the offer.
The real Texans are just about gone, WD… I have to go to the cemetaries to visit my relatives when I visit Texas now…
The Texas Heroes that fought and helped win WWII, were the last of the Real Texans and only a few of them are still with us… They are the Texans that would have already gone to Washington D.C. and drained the swamp if they were still alive and well…
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.
That look when you realize that the “immigrants” aren’t your friends since they put your life at stake ruined your business.
Shock and disbelief, sis.
Can you imagine her poor brain trying to make it make sense?
Yes, maybe feels betrayed?
I wonder if she will have a change of heart?
Shock maybe the best thing that could happen to her.
LOL.. The French Military. At least nobody will be shot, including the rioter however.
Not rioters…students.
At least that was the narrative in the beginning..
Snark of the week!
Hilarious! You post the BEST memes Betsy! 😆
Why not Peppa the Pig on those lunch boxes?
“Why not Peppa the Pig….” she asked with a knowing look gleaming out of her eye 😎
They can track the money and organizers but they won’t
Yes and where are all the flock cameras when you really need them?
Oh they have them, Judith…otherwise known as CCTV.
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.
Likely a mathematical certainty
Population growth itself, consider second derivative of population sub-groups compared to the entire population.
Rates matter.
After the Charlie Hebdo attack and the Bataclan slaughter, teachers throughout France were telling about the change in their Muslim students. These kids became forceful…. They would slam Koran books on teachers’ desks, refuse minutes of silence, and much more.
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.
show up at the Capitol wearing a red hat…insurrection.
the movie was ridiculous
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.
I don’t know, but apparently we hand out pallets of bricks to ours.
How about bosy bags? Rack them and stack them….
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.
Allah Snackbars…
Aloha Snackbars!
Fun to eat!
Aloha Snackbars!
What a treat!
Aloha Snackbars –
Did you know?
Are the favorite snack
Of our good friend,
Mo! (ham-head)
And gatorade.
Gotta keep that energy up!
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.
The French Police, Benny Hill style…
Posted by the reliable Visegrád 24…
“French police have attempted to arrest far-left French Member of Parliament and Antifa leader Raphael Arnault.
The police raiding the wrong car by mistake and Arnault managed to escape. He is now hiding inside the parliament where police can’t enter.”
Zut alors!!!!
The gendarmes. Always late.
😎
Spy versus Spy.
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.
Napoleon’s french army was “cut to shreads” over a distance of 200 leagues by the Ukrainian Cossacks that entered the battle to revenge Bonaparte’s ordering the french army to burn Moscow…
There Are competent and professional French soldiers.
Unfortunately, the best and bravest Frenchman were lost in the meatgrinder called World War 1.
What would Napoleon have done in this situation?
“What would Napoleon have done in this situation?”
Well, he was dumb enough to invade Russia…
Bonaparte’s army fought their way to Moscow, and during the battle, Bonaparte orderd his army to burn Moscow…
The Ukrainian Cossacks (Yes, they did then consider themselves Russians, and they still consider themselves Russians) enraged by the burning of Moscow, mounted up and joined the battle…
The mounted Cossacks literally hacked the french soldiers to shreads with their sabers…
Bonapartes army didn’t just retreat, they abandoned their armament and supplies and ran like Hell for the safety of France…
The Cossacks followed Bonaparte’s retreating army for a distance of 200 leagues, continuing to hack the french soldiers with their sabers…
And that, my friends, is “the rest of the story”…
The Prince of Wallachia did not tolerate Ottomans.
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.
A couple of ol’ Marines and Ma Duece would end the riots forthwith and with dispatch…
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.
Law and order, yes.
Self-defense, yes.
Chaos and murder, no.
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.
These sub-humans want to destroy civilization. They cannot be sent to “timeout” and to bed without their supper to stop them from being naughty..
Shooting rioters has LONG been an effective deterrent.
The warning needs to be broadcast: “If you riot, you will die in a hail of bullets.”
Muslims will ultimately destroy EVERYTHING non muslim.
They have no regard for history that predates mohammed.
I remember them destroying antiquities in Syria.
They would burn the Louvre to the ground given half a chance.
That’s just the way it is.
Well, that’s what heathen savages do and only bullets will stop them.
I will be very suprised if Notre Dame and the Louvre are not targeted.
Striking an icon of Christianity and the jewel of French culture are world class acts of barbarism.
Obviously these things are planned for a reason. And that reason is to instigate violence so they can impose martial law. It is always about taking away more rights to consolidate their power.
The useful idiot participants either receive payment for their trouble or else they actually believe they have cause to riot.
Can’t fix stupid.
Mimi, How will you stop them when they are burning down your city, your neighborhood and your home.
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.
Tidy, isn’t it?
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?
Yes, IMO, show of force.
They’re showing their hand.
This is what’s planned for all Western countries. Islam/commie/globalist
We are one of the hold outs.
Who’s closing their borders now?
2nd Amendment country.
Ceuta, on the coast of Morocco, is on the south side of the Strait of Gibraltar…
The Strait of Gibralter is a shipping “chokepoint” similar to the Strait of Hormuz…
You will understand why the muslims occupied Ceuta when they close the Straits of Gibralter, the entrance to the Mediterranean Sea, just like they have closed Hormuz…
A high percentage of those Ceuta scumbag invaders are now claiming to be poofters
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
Arrest and execute Soros.
Who, in either political party, is NOT owned by him or one of his “foundations”? If you find one, make sure they’re not owned by Neville Singham. It’s a shame not a thing can be done by Kongress about billionaires that want to destroy America and have funded those efforts for decades!
Decapitate soros
I was gonna say head shot, but close enough.
Our “government” is sorely afraid of soros…
The biggest problem is no one in France will shoot the looters. Simple, effective solution. One or two shot and the rioting ends.
Vlad was right
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.
Holy Orthodox Christian Martyrs and Saints of the Western lands of Europe pray for us!
French cops = girly men.
They should’ve called for backup and then forcefully broken wrists and arms, and smacked skulls. Then cuffed ’em.
Instead, their failure to dominate and control was correctly seen as weak willed and spineless.
One cop literally let the first runner squeeze by him instead of tripping him up and falling on him.
Once the others saw the cops had no stomach for a fight, they all ran. And not one cop really tried to stop them.
Disgusting.
The French mindset of 2026 is not able to come up with a
Coherent
Constructive
response.
Great solution after the fact. Typical reactive response. Doomed to failure until next time.
The only effective tool is to deport the rabble as quickly as possible..
Never to late for Claymores or bouncing bettys.
Too litle too late. These are military age combatants/terrorists with high school kids mixed in. I wouldn’t be surprised if many of the so-called “demonstrators” are Al-Qaeda, Taliban, Houti.
Should have engaged days ago!
When these situations happen it’s because someone gave a stand down order instead of stopping it instantly via 3000fps hot projectiles
About 15% of the French military are Muslim. And another unknown percentage are down with leftwing violent demonstration. The military’s loyalty is doubtless strong but may be compromised in some engagements.
