As The Daily Mail reported, thousands of violent protesters overturned cars, set buildings ablaze, and attacked police across the country.
The worst violence arguably occurred in Lyon. There, a tourist office and cars were set on fire by rioters.
France’s interior minister, Laurent Nuñez, also added that looting by the red-green rioters was recorded in many cities. These cities included Paris, Rouen, Nantes, Toulouse, and Marseille.
Several videos have emerged showing just how ugly the scenes were
Now, one of the most historic structures in the entire country, the 143-year-old Limoges town hall, has now burned to the ground as the police continue to sit on their hands.
Rioters are on the verge of reaching Macron’s palace. Just imagine the horror if it were set on fire as well.
France will have officially fallen.
Police officers are also running for their lives:
Despite all of this, Nuñez says that they will NOT declare a state of emergency.
This is a result of failed previous efforts by authorities to shut down the riots.
In one instance, in Marseille, France, on October 2, a hooded 15-year-old burned a woman’s face with an aerosol can and a lighter at Place du 4-Septembre. She had tried to stop protesters from vandalizing a bus shelter.
Police arrested the teenager that evening in the Frais-Vallon district after identifying him through video surveillance.
He was charged with voluntary violence with three aggravating circumstances: using a weapon, acting as part of a group, and concealing his face. The prosecutor said, “No demand of any kind could justify such acts of violence.”
PROTESTERS IN PARIS are now trying to reach MACRON'S PRESIDENTIAL PALACE
They now attempt to push toward the Élysée Palace, where specialist riot police have been deployed. Macron spent the day promising to punish those spreading chaos. That chaos is now coming to his doorstep.
