You'd think the weapons would be old NATO platforms, not old Soviet/Eastern Bloc arms as reported. So how did that happen I wonder?

Ukraine war guns likely to end up on UK streets, says weapons expert

Now it’s a party.

Maybe the French will take it seriously now.

Nope. They’ll just blame the Eagles Of Death Metal.

This isn't a real Marxist revolution you guys. I know because several people from this board screamed at me like a child for calling it that in my thread on this subject. And Slippin' Jimmy says it's an everyday thing in France that will fizzle out soon.

So nothing to worry about. The highest quality poster on the board has set us all straight on this and we are all just fear-mongering about it.

The police didn't arrest them all because they're out manned and outgunned.

Can’t be.
Europe doesn’t have the 2nd Amendment. Therefore all firearms are both illegal and nonexistent.

Scorpion machine guns and AK-47’s are mostly peaceful weapons - especially in the hands of students fighting for a better education!

So the link has no correlation to what Yakoby is asserting. Plus I probably would not trust a kid in Philadelphia finishing up his last year at Penn on events 3500 miles away about AKs and Scorpions that are hitting the streets in the UK, maybe.

Has to be absolutely BS and false because CNN reported it's mostly peaceful protesting and as we all know mostly peaceful means no guns.

French Police need to practice throwing down their guns and running away. If they need help, I'm sure the French Army can give them pointers on safely throwing down weapons.

quote:

French police have encountered rioters and looters armed with AK47s and Scorpion submachine guns on the streets of Paris, Marseille and Lyon.

The information comes from the Le Journal du Dimanche journalist Laura Tchekov, who says that her newspaper has received this information from sources within the DGSI, France’s main internal security agency.

The weapons were carried by minors and young adults described as being part of organized crime groups but sometimes also close to the Islamist movement in France.

The journalist says that not all armed
rioters were arrested and that several of them remain on free foot.

It’s believed that police officers refrained from making arrests as they thought they could be both outmanned and outgunned at the moment and that hundreds of people were on the streets, creating a risk of a shoot-out that could have resulted in a large number of wounded and dead.
