Paris football riots? What's the deal?

[impulse]

More than 500 people were arrested by police during the Champions League final celebrations in France, and two people were reported dead and 192 injured, the interior ministry said as further festivities were planned on Sunday.

 

The interior ministry on Sunday reported hundreds of fires, including more than 200 vehicles burned. Some 22 members of the security forces and seven firefighters were harmed.

I don't generally follow French politics or news, so I'm curious.  Anyone better tuned in?

The riots started before the game. 

[Nick Carter icp]

The rioters just like to riot and break things and burn things .

No cause, apart from their own enjoyment .

Anarchists bringing anarchy to the streets .

Looters wanting clothes and televisions .

Nothing to do with the football game

Sounds like the Summer of Love but in France!

The French president was filmed being face-shoved by a woman, so the French have lost all respect for their president. In the absence of respect, there is no fear, so they do as they please.

France seems like one of the worst countries in the western world at least. 

 

There seem to be riots every 15 minutes there.

 

What are people so miserable about? The baguettes are soggy or what?

These football riots happen everywhere all the time in europe. Selective and repeated news reporting by mainstream media is the issue. Like a guy messes up with cannabis in Thailand, then a few more stories always follow in the same week too etc.

Fatalities and 200 vehicles burned up?  Is that a normal football riot?

 

I'm wondering if there's some undercurrent that the MSM isn't willing to discuss. 

 

The right wing media is reporting it's the "usual suspects" (African migrants).  But is that true?

No, it's not. But if you take a train to Paris, as I have, it will strike you how dystopian and miserable, downright ugly and repulsive the outskirts of Paris are, the Balieus, where the French confine their North African and middle Eastern migrants. There must be a lot of pent-up anger and frustration living in those awful places. They make the projects look like paradise.

   They do not . 

When was any other time that a riot took place because of a football match ?

   This wasn't two football teams fighting each other .

This was protestors doing what they enjoy doing , rioting

  Again, that wasn't a football riot . 

That was Muslims/Sympathisers  attacking Jews , nothing to do with the football game .

  That was political violence , just like the Paris riot

I think it's one of the side effects of unvetted wide open immigration.aka "diversity"

I think you are familiar with "tomorrows' news today" .

The website of truth we cannot mention here.

 

Paris Migrant Riots Framed By Media As Soccer Celebration – 2 Dead, 1 Cop In Coma, Hundreds Arrested

 

 

Thousands of migrants and local youths were filmed setting vehicles and garbage cans on fire, harassing drivers, defacing property, blocking traffic and clashing with police.

Paris Police Chief Laurent Nunez told reporters several stores were looted, resulting in at least 559 arrests.

 

You know where to find it.

Some nice X video's of the "event" too.

Of course msm will not report it.

The riots were perfectly understandable.   A French cop addressed a crowd with the plural familiar "you" instead of of the formal version.   The crowd went mental!

People are mad as hell and they're not going to take it anymore...

In the Belgium case, it was far-right thugs attacking Muslims.

   In the Holland Amsterdam case though , it was Anti semites attacking Jews . 

   They traveled to Amsterdam just to confront the Israelis

I'm not denying that the Amsterdam riot was anti-Jewish but your initial reply could be read as implying both the Belgian and Dutch riots were anti-Jewish which is not the case.

 

In a similar vein to Amsterdam, there was no need for the Brugge "supporters" to go to Molenbeek. They also went there just for confrontation.

 

There's no monopoly when it comes to political violence.

As I said no one group has a monopoly on political violence.

  Ah, there were two links conjoined  , I just clicked on one link and the Amsterdam violence showed up, I didn't notice there was another link  above .

   I thought that it was just one link
