It’s behind a paywall for me. I’m going to go out on a limb and suggest that calling the rioters “vermin” isn’t exactly going to calm the situation.
Police nationale: Why are they upset, what did I say?
Another french revolution in the works? Lol
Given how distant the president actions and speech is from the will of the people this might as well be the XVII century
“savage hordes of vermin”
Echoes of The Spanish Inquisition... not a good sign.
I find it hard to disagree when it appears to be teenagers burning and looting for the thrill of it.
So they are attempting to defend themselves against a well armed militarized police force. How dare they!
They wouldn't have to defend themselves if they'd stop looting and setting shit on fire.
You're the same kind of troglodyte that thinks this will accomplish something.
