Its in their blood. I think they even teach it in school.

I assume those other riots that were happening for weeks a few months ago ended? How long ago did those riots end? France is a mess.

I think those were classified as protests.

The amount of anti-muslim vitriol on Twitter as a result of this is incredible, a lot of it coming from Indians. Just looking up "France riots" news it is a stream of anti-muslim and anti-immigration nastiness.

Most of what I've seen doesn't seem to be from the French, probably because I searched in English. Maybe there's the same from the French, but I feel like I've already seen enough of that for a while so I'm not going looking. I just want some news.

Some horrifying videos out there.

There's a three way war. There's french people running around with bats and swarming immigrant protesters and beating them down. There's roving bands of people smashing into stores and stealing everything. And the police beating everyone down.

There are videos with protesters carrying everything from cross bows to guns.

At some point, there has to be a declaration of proper martial law, this isn't going to burn itself out before France is burned down.
