[News] France just what's going on?

[Bakero]

The way the things are going, the policemen arrested is going to be a millionaire with all the crowd funding.

I agree with the tweeter. Imagine donating money to someone that has just shot and killed a 17-year-old kid.

I suspect it is a reaction to this underclass that has gone out to steal, burn and destroy France.

A firefighter died last night trying to put out a fire, started by some POS.

Now elected officials are calling to the decent people of France to mobilise against this lawless underclass.

There's a lot of hate on both sides and not much understanding on either.

National Front… sorry Britain First ‘leader’ Paul Golding sharing a clip from Fast & Furious of a car flying off a building claiming its footage from France. Gullible twat, being lapped up by the IQ challenged followers of his of course

 

[theboybilly]

Both.

This kind of thing should be common place in England but the working classes have been brainwashed and subdued for generations now.
I do wonder how bad things will get before people start protesting.

You're really suggesting this is a good thing? The funeral of this boy went off peacefully - no doubt because the vast majority of people rioting have no real interest. An excuse to loot, just like Duggan

Feck me. Utterly unsurprising that him and his ilk fell for it though.

Soft-touch Britain.

Twitter is a cesspit of Far Right posting factually incorrect nonsense.

That said Marine Le Pen must be loving what is going on at the moment.

Loving visiting France, the food, the wine, the landscapes, the culture.....

But the country is racist as f**k and Macron's party is playing to the racists rather than trying to calm things down.

The French are a long way behind us in terms of racial integration. Even if you're a 3rd or 4th generation migrant you still ain't proper French.

Of course not. But we're being shafted, left right and centre from above, and there's been a general dumbing down over the last 40+ years in this country. Compliance and acceptance is rife

If you don't see that, you're a victim of it.

I'm currently reading The French Intifada by Andrew Hussey. Worth a look if you want a bit more insight into what's going on in France.

Where is that retired French pro-boxer when you need him that guy was a legend. The French police have always been thugs

If it is a reaction to that then it's a bloody stupid one.

I hope he gets locked up.

He handed himself in days after the incident, which took place 4 years ago.

Certainly less stupid than stealing and destroying the property of others would you not say?

The destroying of property as an expression of anger for the death of a community member I can understand (I feel like I need to make the point that understanding is not condoning it).

The looting is opportunistic scumbags using the shooting for their own selfish gain. A sad bi product of riots like these. In this case Inexplicably used by some to shift the focus away from a policeman shooting a 17 year old dead.

Then we have people giving money to the policeman that shot a 17 year old child dead during a traffic stop. (Maybe I have this wrong was it not the same policeman they were giving money to?).

If you are asking me which of these is more stupid you will have to help me out with the last one. I have a vague understanding of why the first two may happen (totally over simplified of course) but I have no clue of the reasons someone would donate money to the murderer of a 17 year old child. Maybe you can help me out with this before I answer your question?

If not then, on the face of it yes, absolutely more stupid than rioting and looting. One being a vent for anger, the other getting oneself a pair of Nike's or a laptop the last giving your money to a murderer - why the f*** would you do that? The only reason I can think of is that you condone the murder and want to support the murderer. If that is the case then you are an absolute moron.

I really don’t understand why, in the US too, that a driver hitting the pedal can be shot dead for basically running away?

This is what happened isn’t it? Is the reason given by the officer now charged with murder?

I believe in law and order, perhaps more strongly ie to the right than many. The kid just drove away though, yes? There’s no suggestion he endangered the officer or was a threat to that I’ve read.

Therefore the book needs to be thrown at the officer. And I agree, the opportunistic looters who are using this incident as a reason to riot…well, if a few of them were shot I’d not have too much sympathy for them. For this kid though, and his family, blimey, it’s a ridiculous price to pay for a traffic violation. As it was/continues to be in the US.

really shot & killed for stealing….
is this Europe or Saudi Arabia?

so let me get you right here, failing to stop and avoiding the police (we do not know the whole story yet, ie has the car a record, area, history etc etc) is not right, and quite rightly.
Yet nicking a tv or a handful of clothes (although wrong and I’m not advocating looting) warrants maybe the odd toerags death….

neither do, in my book…

give ya head a wobble fella.
