Hundreds Arrested as Students Riot Across France, Setting Schools on Fire
“Authorities reported violence near high schools, mainly in Nantes, blaming ‘violent individuals’ who ‘join the students to carry out acts of vandalism.'”
French security officials have arrested over 632 people, mostly students, in two days as riots spread across the country.
The students started rioting over supposed horrid school conditions, including “staffing shortages, dilapidated buildings, overcrowded classes, government budget cuts and long schedules.”
I found numerous videos online, but it’s hard to authenticate them. Many of the videos concentrate on the second or third generation migrant students, but I’ve seen plenty with native French students.
Absolute chaos across France:
625 arrests
83 police officers attacked
32 teachers injured
Hundreds of schools burned down

The protests started last week, but spiraled into riots this week. Rioters have set fire to trash bins and blocked off schools.
France24 reported that regional authorities have said the riots have left several principals injured (emphasis mine):
Among reports of school staff being targeted was one incident in the southern port city of Marseille when a school principal and his deputy were splashed with petrol. A journalist with TV channel M6 was attacked at the same school, local officials said.
In the northwestern city of Nantes, firefighters had to intervene to extinguish a fire in the entrance of a high school “following a gathering marked by violence towards staff”, the regional education board said.
Authorities reported violence near high schools, mainly in Nantes, blaming “violent individuals” who “join the students to carry out acts of vandalism”.
Catch that last line? Violent individuals.
According to Interior Minister Laurent Nunez, “in certain places, there were individuals acting as agitators — people who moved from one school to another to stir up high school and other students and incite them to commit acts of violence.”
It’s also interesting since I’ve also seen claims that the far-left La France Insoumise (LFI) Party has propped up these riots and even attended them:
School fires and riots spread across all of France
Young second- and third-generation migrant rioters are setting high schools on fire.
In many of France’s cities, riots are being propped up by far-left pro-migrationist LFI officials, who are physically present at the scene.
At least 202 people have been injured, of whom 119 are students and teachers. All 96 French departments have reported at least one school incident.
The protests have now spread across the whole country.

Kill them
Wash, rinse, repeat…
Are the citizens of any European country being daily victimized by their fat dumb and happy leftists rulers actually going to vote them out of power? Assuming they can so vote of course. I seriously doubt the French have that much integrity but I’d be happy to be proven wrong.
For all we know, they are voting against the current regime. But as we all know, the real question is, “Who *counts* the votes?”
TBF: many of the European political parties – even the so-called “right wing” ones – are really cruddy and hardly different from their Commie counterparts.
Right. So their solution is to burn teachers and staff alive along with the schools in question, steal classroom computers, threaten Jews, and and fly the “Palestine” flag.
Lying by the Communist media no longer bothers me. What does bother me is that the lies are clumsy, stupid, and easy to disprove. The worst kind of gaslighting is lazy gaslighting.
Student riots are traditional in France. It never ends well, but tradition is tradition. Both an imposition and a choice.
Marx had a nice zinger about such a social arrangement and its consequences, in explaining why his analysis was better than two others
Of the writings dealing with the same subject at approximately the same time as mine, only two deserve notice: Victor Hugo’s Napoleon le Petit and Proudhon’s Coup d’Etat. Victor Hugo confines himself to bitter and witty invective against the responsible producer of the coup d’etat. The event itself appears in his work like a bolt from the blue. He sees in it only the violent act of a single individual. He does not notice that he makes this individual great instead of little by ascribing to him a personal power of initiative unparalleled in world history. Proudhon, for his part, seeks to represent the coup d’etat as the result of an antecedent historical development. Inadvertently, however, his historical construction of the coup d’etat becomes a historical apologia for its hero. Thus he falls into the error of our so-called objective historians. I, on the contrary, demonstrate how the class struggle in France created circumstances and relationships that made it possible for a grotesque mediocrity to play a hero’s part.
French students riot like American students TP houses on Halloween.
When riots occur and can’t be contained with normal LEO or even ‘riot police’ tactics we gotta stop pretending that normal rules apply. Instead declare martial law, initiate an immediate 24 hour curfew and clear the streets using whatever force is required to accomplish rounding up anyone on the streets. Failure to do so will only embolden the rioters and reinforces a reality where the riots only end when the rioters choose to stop. IOW it ceded power to the rioters to control when/where/how long normal civic life exists. A Nation can’t function that way.
Muslims move in and destroy business, infrastructure and schools. Teachers leave because it’s not safe making schools understaffed. The government pretends it can’t see the muslims. Communists join in an riot because the system doesn’t work. Wash, rinse repeat.
