A cop shot a 17-year-old named "Nahel" at Nanterres.
Here's what the evil propaganda outfit AP claims:
French President Emmanuel Macron urged parents Friday to keep teenagers at home and proposed restrictions on social media to quell rioting spreading across France over the fatal police shooting of a 17-year-old driver that has resulted so far in the arrests of 875 people.
After a second crisis meeting with senior ministers, Macron maintained that social media platforms such as Snapchat and TikTok played a "considerable role" in fueling copycat acts of violence during this week's unrest.
Macron said his government would work with technology companies to establish procedures for "the removal of the most sensitive content." He did not specify the content he had in mind but said, "I expect a spirit of responsibility from these platforms."
Yeah, it's social media, that's it.
...
"We sometimes have the feeling that some of them are living in the streets the video games that have intoxicated them," he said of rioters.
Yeah, it's videogames, that must be it.
The French leader's remarks followed a third night of unrest across France since a police officer shot and killed the teenager Tuesday in the northwestern Paris suburb of Nanterre. Rioters erected barricades, lit fires and shot fireworks at police, who responded with tear gas, water cannons and stun grenades. Police said at least 200 police officers have been injured.
Macron's government has deployed 40,000 officers to restore order and make arrests over behavior he described as "unacceptable and unjustifiable." He stopped short of announcing a state of emergency, a tactic used by a previous French government in 2005 to quell rioting after the accidental deaths of two boys while they fled police.
So as Andrew Breitbart always said, you have to read the foreign papers to find out what's really happening, because the American media lies so much and suppresses information it doesn't want the American public to know (which is almost all information).
Seems like AP omitted a few details about this "teen."
LeFigaro says this about this solid citizen. Pardon the rough translation. I do not understand France's legal system and don't know how to translate its concepts into English.
A dozen previous entries in his rap sheet for various crimes, concerning the 17-year-old killed at Nanterre.
Nahel was a boy well known to the police services. Despite his young age, the adolescent of 17 years, killed at a road checkpoint Tuesday June 27, was not his first brush with the law. The teen, at the wheel that day of an unregistered Mercedes with a Polish license plate, that he was driving without a license, had already been the object of a dozen arrests for various crimes, according to reliable sources. Processed at previous hearings, his name is attached to four counts of resisting arrest. Some of these were dismissed without action, another resulted in an order to attend school by a juvenile court judge, according to Europe 1. Finally, his last case of resisting arrest -- the fourth, before the current drama -- took place on June 24. Nahel had thus been placed under arrest and ordered to stand for trial in juvenile court in September. That did not stop him from reoffending three days later.
So a chronic lawbreaker -- who might not even be in France legally -- repeatedly clashed with police, but was repeatedly let off with no punishment. Until he resisted arrest and got his ass dead on his 13th brush with police.
Guess what happened next.
Looting at a Louis Vuitton. (Note the French word for "looters" is "pillages."
Looting at a Zara.
Looting at Les Halles, which I think is some giant commercial mall in Paris.
Looting of an Orange store. Orange is Europe's biggest cellphone company.
Looting a PS5, for Racial Justice.
There was also a report of a Nike store being looted... of course. And you know what? Loot Nike all you want.
Fires in Marseille. "Text: The authorities of some towns are at the point of losing control of the situation. In particular, the situation in Marseilles is beginning to become completely out-of-control, with a number of arsons reported there. In many centers of rioting, the looting is beginning!"
Just driving a palette-mover right out of a store.
And of course they looted an Apple store.
Looting a sunglasses store. Notice all of them -- all -- have their black antifa clothes and masks on. They had all their RiotWear at the ready.
A fire at a store called Action.
Burning down a cultural center. Okay, so I guess we just should stop building cultural centers.
This is all so familiar.
A bus robbery. This is medieval.
A pillager cuts down a streetlight. And then the street delivers its own justice.
If you want to see more, search for #emeutes (rioters) or "incendie" (fire) "pillage" (looting). You'll see so much Social Justice it'll make you want to scream.
Below, video of rioters shooting roman candles at police (or citizens).
A friend sent me this video, showing antifa or BLM protesters shooting roman candles and other fireworks at pedestrians in (of course) Minnesota.
