Introduction \u2013 June 30, 2023<\/strong><\/h1>\n

I don\u2019t know the full facts of the shooting and it is quite possible that the French police used excessive force.<\/p>\n

However, the rioting and civil unrest in response to the shooting are now a regular feature of life in French cities. Although what may initially trigger the unrest varies, rioting, petrol bombs and widespread civil unrest are invariably the end result.<\/p>\n

This is what happens when you cram too many people from many different ethnicities and cultures into a country without restraint. It’s a formula for disaster. You are creating a society fraught with potential fracture points for future conflict.<\/p>\n

I know, you are not supposed to say this sort of thing in today’s ‘woke’ world. But I come from a mixed race family so I can say this without fear of being accused of “racism”. We are witnessing a social disaster in the making.<\/p>\n

It didn\u2019t happen by accident either. The liberal politicians who championed relaxed immigration policies in France and elsewhere knew exactly where it would lead. They were creating conditions where the principle of divide and rule would prevail.<\/p>\n

This is what we see happening in Paris right now. Where President Macron and the servants of the ruling elite and the elite themselves are largely untouched by the unrest; shielded in exclusive neighborhoods and guarded by private security.<\/p>\n

While the broad mass of the populace is left to contend with consequences of the divide and rule policy as best they can. Ed.<\/p>\n

France riots: Government orders buses and trams to stop services by sunset<\/strong><\/h1>\n

ITV News \u2013 June 30, 2023<\/strong><\/h2>\n

France\u2019s interior ministry ordered the complete shutdown of all public bus and tram services by sunset, as the government combats rioting triggered by the deadly police shooting of a teenage boy.<\/p>\n

The ministry said Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin issued the order after attending a crisis meeting Friday led by French President Emmanuel Macron.<\/p>\n

Mr Darmanin instructed regional prefects who are under his command to shut down bus and tram services at 9 pm Friday, before it gets dark, everywhere across France, the ministry said.\u00a0The Paris region had already announced such a shutdown to protect transport workers and passengers. It comes as the French leader blamed TikTok for fueling violence which has caused devastation across the country over the past three nights.<\/p>\n

Protests erupted on Wednesday night after a police officer shot dead a 17-year-old delivery driver in the Parisian suburb on Nanterre.<\/p>\n

Mr Macron is urging parents to keep teenagers at home to stop rioting spreading across the country.<\/p>\n

Macron said social media is playing a \u201cconsiderable role\u201d in spreading unrest, after a second crisis meeting with senior ministers on Friday.<\/p>\n

He said sites such as Snapchat and TikTok should remove sensitive content and said violence is being organised online.<\/p>\n

Mr Macron said a third of the people arrested on Thursday night were \u201cyoung people, sometimes very young,” and that \u201cit’s the parents’ responsibility\u201d to keep their children at home.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe sometimes have the feeling that some of them are living in the streets (of) the video games that have intoxicated them,\u201d he said in relation to the young rioters.<\/p>\n

.Barricades and fires filled the streets of some French cities once again last night as tensions mounted over the deadly police shooting of a 17-year-old.<\/p>\n

Protesters clashed with police for a third night, leaving around 200 officers injured and 875\u00a0 people under arrest. No information was available about injuries among the rest of the population.<\/p>\n

France’s Interior Minister G\u00e9rald Darmanin tweeted on Friday morning: “Our police, gendarmes and firefighters courageously faced rare violence.”<\/p>\n

The teenager identified by his first name, Nahel, was shot and killed by police in the Paris suburb of Nanterre on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The police officer accused of pulling the trigger has been handed a preliminary charge of voluntary homicide after prosecutor Pascal Prache concluded \u201cthe conditions for the legal use of the weapon were not met.\u201d<\/p>\n

Preliminary charges mean investigating judges strongly suspect wrongdoing but need to investigate more before sending a case to trial.<\/p>\n

The officer is sorry and “devastated,” his lawyer told French TV channel BFMTV on Thursday.<\/p>\n

“He doesn\u2019t get up in the morning to kill people,” the lawyer said of the officer, whose name has not been released as per French practice in criminal cases.<\/p>\n

“He really didn\u2019t want to kill.”<\/p>\n

France has deployed 40,000 police officers over fears of continued rioting after a teenage boy was shot dead, James Mates reports<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Armoured police vehicles rammed through the charred remains of cars that had been flipped and set ablaze in the northwestern Paris suburb of Nanterre overnight.<\/p>\n

On the other side of Paris, protesters lit a fire at the city hall of the suburb of Clichy-sous-Bois. The French capital also saw garbage bins set ablaze and some store windows smashed.<\/p>\n

In the port city of Marseille, police sought to disperse violent groups in the city center, regional authorities said.<\/p>\n

Schools, town halls and police stations were targeted by people setting fires, and police used tear gas, water cannons and dispersion grenades against rioters, the spokesperson said.<\/p>\n

“The professionals of disorder must go home,” Interior Minister G\u00e9rald Darmanin said.<\/p>\n

While he said there\u2019s no need yet to declare a state of emergency \u2014 a measure taken to quell weeks of rioting that followed the accidental death of two boys fleeing police in 2005 \u2014 he added: \u201cThe state\u2019s response will be extremely firm.\u201d<\/p>\n

President Emmanuel Macron left early from an EU summit in Brussels, where France plays a major role in European policymaking, to return to Paris and hold an emergency security meeting Friday.<\/p>\n

The German government on Friday said it’s monitoring the unrest in France \u201cwith some concern\u201d but that it was up to French authorities and the public there to tackle the issue.<\/p>\n

But France’s leader did find the time to enjoy an Elton John concert with his wife on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

It sparked criticism from many social media users. One commented, “France is burning and the President of France is going to the Elton John concert” on an image shared by the star’s husband David Furnish.<\/p>\n

A video of him dancing in the crowds has also been widely shared on social media.<\/p>\n
