Paris is not okay despite Macron solemn declaration deploring riot violence. As he spoke, in the chic Marais district, hordes of thugs looted an Optics store and a local poured buckets of hot water to deter. I saw multiple black-clad gangs roaming near Louvre, and on Left Bank!
📍 Le Binoclard. 39 Rue de Saintonge, 75003 Paris. Il est 20h42, Emmanuel Macron vient de s’exprimer. Les pillages se poursuivent dans le cœur de la capitale, sous les fenêtres des riverains qui défendent un commerce de lunettes à l’aide de bassines d’eau chaude.

16 nouvelles interpellations ont été réalisées, portant à 108 le nombre total d'interpellations à minuit.
Des groupes épars de jeunes délinquants d’opportunité cherchent à piller des commerces. Les forces de l’ordre front preuve d’agilité et interviennent systématiquement pour disperser et interpeller. Ces deux dernières heures 50 interpellations ont été réalisées, portant ainsi le total à 92. Nous ne lâcherons rien. Force est à la loi.

🔴ALERTE INFO - Des bandes de pillards tournent dans le Marais notamment rue des Francs-Bourgeois. Selon des témoins, très organisés, ils pillent les boutiques, des voitures récupèrent la marchandise. Attention à vous ! C’est SURRÉALISTE. #pillages

C’est le magasin de mon papa. 30 ans de travail acharné, sacrifices, et journées interminables. Il a consacré sa vie à cette boutique, c’était toute sa fierté. Aujourd’hui, en quelques heures, on lui a arraché ce qu’il a mis 30 ans à construire. J’ai le cœur brisé pour lui.

There are 3000 violent rioters roaming around Paris right now and apparently some have come from other countries including in Europe. There is something very coordinated going on here. Are they paid? Why are they so well-prepared? Is Iran helping? Russia?
Paris, today! This is ongoing

Nonsense from Trump. No immigrants were involved. The ultra left who attacked police and public buildings are almost all white French. The looters who exploited the chaos were very young kids from the poor suburbs, brown and black in many cases but almost certainly French

The son of Heidi Levin told @kann_news: "My mother is in a hospital bed and cannot get up. They broke 4 vertebrae in her back. Her finger was almost amputated. She is mentally shaken by what happened". facebook.com/permalink.php?s… If you read Hebrew, you will unfortunately see many comments supportive of the terrorists. Ahead of the elections, Netanyahu is aligning himself more closely to Jewish terrorism, and hence his statement about the incident falsely claimed some conspiracy was afoot & implied Heidi was not harmed but actually helped by the terrorists. xitter.cf/IsraeliPM/status/21111… Another statement by Netanyahu on the terrorist attack on European diplomats in the occupied West Bank adopted a similar line. xitter.cf/IsraeliPM/status/21114… These statements are incredibly useful. Indeed, Jewish terrorism in the West Bank is gov't-backed and state-financed (who gave them the ATVs, the guns, financed their reserve duty service? Who finances their protection by the IDF?). Netanyahu is so focused on gaining the votes of terrorists and their supporters he's exposing himself and this government.
Dozens of settlers spent about 10 minutes beating a 64-year-old journalist for covering their attacks on Palestinians harvesting olives in the occupied West Bank.

Full agree. Violent French chaos sets stage for Le Pen to pose as strongwoman who will sort it all out at home (and then pull support from Ukraine)

It is conspiratorial nonsense to suggest that this violence was somehow willed or allowed by the Govt - Melenchon's line - to discredit the main demo. What on earth have they to gain? The chaos created by the ultra left is inevitably good for Le Pen.

🇫🇷 🪧 💥 France woke up on Sunday to devastated streets after clashes between police and protesters, mass looting and fires erupted nationwide as marches against rising costs of living degenerated into "extreme" violence ➡️ u.afp.com/SCBx

This 👇.
I’m French. 🇫🇷 And I’m tired of watching people confuse freedom with the freedom to destroy. You have the right to protest. You have the right to be angry. You have the right to demand change. You do NOT have the right to burn, loot or attack people. A Republic that protects the right to protest must also protect its citizens from violence. That’s not authoritarianism. That’s the rule of law.

Not expecting to bring X down with my absence but taking a break-maybe better described as a boycott in my utter disgust and dismay that a single billionaire with no democratic mandate should feel entitled to affect the outcome of Russias war in Ukraine. @elonmusk @Starlink

Israeli settlers attack a convoy of European diplomats in the West Bank and beat up a visiting French mayor, witnesses say, a day after a US photographer was similarly set upon as violence escalates ahead of bitterly fought elections. @shauntandon reports ➡️ u.afp.com/SCXd

This woman in France, standing alone against the looting of a small store, is what heroism is all about. Hats off.
