But the mayor of the Paris suburb of L’Haÿ-les-Roses said that a burning car hit his home, injuring his wife and one of their children, in an attack he described as an “assassination attempt.” 

“At 1:30 a.m., while I was at the town hall as I had been for the past 3 nights, individuals rammed a car into my home before setting it on fire to burn down my house, where my wife and two young children were sleeping,” Mayor Vincent Jeanbrun tweeted early Sunday. 

“My wife and one of my children were injured when they tried to protect themselves and escape the assailants. It was an unspeakable, cowardly assassination attempt,” he said.

Macron's solution could be this is not happening, and censorship is needed. Did he state that his spirit animal is the ostrich?

Quote

 

One cannot help but raise an eyebrow as President Macron pleads with social media giants to erase the “most sensitive” content pertaining to the rioting.

With a wave of his hand, he decrees, “platforms and networks are playing a major role in the events of recent days.”

I feel bad for the regular French people, their leaders have failed them.

They're French Politicians, they do what it says on the Tin.

Seems like Macron's popularity has gone down the drain. I never liked him, anyway. Would have wanted Le Pen instead of him, but I suppose the silver lining is that his popularity and base has seemingly been getting worse and worse over time.

Editorial de Le Monde on the matter (more or less the French equivalent of the NYT/WaPo)

some giggle translation

Quote

It is also worrying that certain representative organizations of the police force, Alliance and UNSA-Police, have on the contrary chosen provocation by publishing an incendiary press release with seditious accents on June 30 , a few hours before a night which promised to be particularly perilous. The tone as well as the words used, some of which are intolerable, seemed to validate the accusations aimed at the behavior of the police vis-à-vis young people from disadvantaged neighborhoods.

Faced with the outcry, the two organizations argued that their word had been distorted, without correcting it. No one can deny the difficulty of the task of police and gendarmes constantly on the go during a decade of crises, from terrorism to the pandemic through social protests. They are nonetheless bound by a duty of exemplarity which constitutes one of the bases of our republican pact. If the exasperation of those who must ensure the order and security of all fueled an escalation, the latter would precipitate a race to the abyss.

Could look like a call to Daladier-style appeasement to some people with a memory long enough to remember, for instance, the Bataclan massacre.

Macron is an Idiot. But he is an honest Idiot. Le Pen comes from a family of prominent fascists.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean-Marie_Le_Pen

In a 2014 video on the National Front's website, Le Pen reacted to criticism of him by Jewish singer Patrick Bruel with "next time we'll do a whole oven batch!" Le Pen later claimed the comments made no anti-Semitic connotations "except for my political enemies or imbeciles".^[67][68]

France needs a damn good enema in its political establishment, its true. But it doesnt need the sodding Vichy back.

I prefer Le Pen because she opposes the Globalist interventionist stances of the EU and NATO. France would be much better off if they stopped catering to other countries beyond their borders and focused on furthering their own domestic and internal policy. I am not saying Le Pen is perfect, but that I would prefer her to any existing alternative. She has her issues that I do not like in the least, such as the one you are saying.

Currently, when it comes to France, because I have no liking towards Macron's administration - I hope he gets booted out of power by the French Military, something to that effect.

Yes, but if you remove enough of them from the gene pool, you get peace, then you have to go in and fix the issue that caused this: poverty and Islamism.

Okay, so you're effectively promoting a military coup supported by right-wing political extremists in a currently democratic republic with nuclear weapons ... because, globalists?

Thank you for your valuable input, but you lost me there. May the rainbow force of the Lunacorns be with you.

The French Military are not right-wing political extremists. You did not read what I was saying.

There is a place for them already.  It's not our business to tell them how to do their thing.  

ALL of these current problems come from diversity.  Good fences make good neighbors.  The endless quest by rich miserly fucks to avoid paying fair price for labor is a core part of the world's endless problems.  S/F....Ken M

Those are mere symptoms, not the disease. 

Europe's immigrant problems are only a problem because they forfeited their western civ birthright to appease the commies.
