French Riots in News

Here’s a decent summary of what’s happening in France from a news outlet. Here’s a snippet with a link at the bottom.

Over 400 schools and colleges across France remained closed on Friday as student protests over education-related grievances continued — with some turning violent.
Education Minister Edouard Geffray told reporters that 735 teaching establishments were "affected" in some way on Friday, "30% fewer than yesterday."
He said that three emergency services personnel had been injured responding, again an improvement on "31 yesterday," and condemned occasional "acts of extreme violence" among the wider protest movement.
The protests ?against teacher shortages, dilapidated school buildings and a lack of learning materials erupted at lycées (equivalent to US high schools) in the Paris region last month before spreading across the country this week.
Government ministers tried to strike a balance between empathetic messages to frustrated youth with presidential elections looming, and clear calls for calm in their public messaging.
"Calm must urgently return to high schools and universities," Europe and Foreign Affairs Minister Jean-Noel Barrot said online. "Yes, the right to demonstrate is inalienable. But the violence is inexcusable, and the cynical instrumentalization of youth for political ends is irresponsible."
Some of the roughly 400 schools or colleges that closed had sustained damage amid the demonstrations, with one of the worst hit being the Lycee Mandela in Nantes, which was expected to be out of action until mid-October after a fire in the entrance hall.

Macron is such a cuck he won't even post about. His house is on fire and posts this.

Macron will go Vichy to support them.
That is the French way, been done before.

That's what the leftist media is publishing. It all seems fake and staged. When have you ever heard of kids protesting over a lack of teachers?
What's also happening (that they have so far refused to acknowledge) is third world invaders are waging war against the public while the police stand there and watch.
They could do something about it, but apparently they have orders not to intervene.
It's two different events occuring simultaneously - like one is a cover story.

It’s not. The strikes have been well publicized. The protests have been going on for days. Have a lot of people taken advantage of that to commit violence? Yes, of course.

Same here. BS until I hear more. As was said..." high school students getting upset and or violent over a lack of teachers"?

Because it's exciting to be part of a mob that gets to burn and destroy.

They ARE showing the white French kids protesting.
But they are not showing the black Africans burning shite and assaulting people.

This is what you get when you flood your country with people who don’t have the same beliefs or morals as you.
And nothing more, they hate everyone and everything.

Whatever happened to the Yellow Vest protests? Didn't they complain about high fuel prices or taxes? Surprise they didn't come out to join in the protests. Protesting in France has become a social event.

It's hard to buy "lack of teaching materials" as an excuse when the internet exists. You can find free study materials for every subject under the sun.

That’s just one complaint among many though.

AFAIK, Macaroni still hasn't said one word about this.

"This isn't news. French citizens are always rioting."

What's the West to do?
It's brought culture and technology and built infrastructure to Africa. It wasn't maintained and they're no better off today than they were pre colonialization.
They're brought into Western culture, and 2nd/3rd gen offspring are showing no signs of assimilating.
I guess its either just turn a blind eye to the whole continent or fire back up colonialization?
