Has there been a thread about this?

Yeah, I saw La Haine but I never thought it was this bad.

Will this degenerate into a full blown revolt a la May/June 1968? Time for the youth to finish what their parents started. Shoot the cops and the government.

Part of the point of these riots is that they're happening in places tourists would never go, right? i.e. working class suburbs far from central Paris and the French mainstream.

Chantal Goulot, a pensioner in Aulnay-sous-Bois, said: "I've lived here since 1966 and never seen anything like it. They burnt everything, the town hall, the Renault dealership, the car rental place, even the shop that makes those little cakes."

We've been discussing it in the French elections thread btw. Can't resist posting this here, though:

The Paris Agreement isn’t working out so well for Paris. Protests and riots all over France. People do not want to pay large sums of money, much to third world countries (that are questionably run), in order to maybe protect the environment. Chanting “We Want Trump!” Love France.
