France is bracing for massive “protests” today, well organized in the sense of being able to draw tens or hundreds of thousands of “protestors” out to loot and riot in the name of “better education” and “affordability”, as in “I can’t afford to buy Chanel so I will just steal it”. The police are out in force but it seems woefully inadequate:
France Deploys 70,000 Police As Cities Brace For Far-Left Chaos
It is around 3 in the afternoon in Paris as I write this so it is still daylight, the real fun won’t start until it gets darker. Businesses are boarded up, tourist attractions are closed. Are the French police equipped to deal with the night and the hordes of violent revolutionaries mixed with feral subhuman shock troops? About as well equipped as the police in Demolition Man I would say….
They have abandoned the story that this is about “education”. One little weasel was quoted by the BBC as saying they are protesting so they can protest…
Students in the streets of Paris have been speaking with the BBC about the protests.
Julian-Gabriel Dare says the protest movement has become much bigger than the original demands about education.
“We’re not only protesting for our demands towards the state, we’re now protesting for our right to protest,” he says.
“It’s about our freedom to go out and to express ourselves in our country,” Dare adds.
“It’s a huge movement”, former student union leader Manes Nadel tells the BBC. “The only solution is to let it win.”
That kid has what I like to call “a punchable face”. The only way to stop us from rioting and looting is to allow us to riot to loot. Maybe they do need to improve “education” in France but also notice the BBC just happened to pick a White kid to photograph. Just a cohencidence I am sure.
The police have kind of given up….
Paris Police Chief Sparks Outcry By Advising Shopkeepers To Hire Private Security Ahead Of Saturday’s Far-Left Protests
In the capital, 451 shops were vandalized on Oct. 17 and 18, including 228 that were looted, according to the City of Paris. The government counts about 3,000 businesses hit nationwide.
On Oct. 22, nearly every store along the Champs-Élysées was barricading its storefront with metal shutters, security grilles, or wooden boards, as bewildered tourists looked on, The Epoch Times observed. Chanel, Lacoste, and Louis Vuitton all had been targeted by looters last week.
Near the Place de la République, workers have been screwing plywood panels over windows and doors, while posters on the boards invite residents to join a neighborhood WhatsApp group against break-ins.
Shops were not the only targets on Oct. 17. In Paris, individuals also forced their way into residential buildings, The Epoch Times witnessed.
That last line was very troubling. Looting stores is one thing but when rioters are getting into private residences it takes it up a notch and the French aren’t exactly well armed, although the same article reports: “Gun shop orders have risen tenfold since the looting, according to Yves Gollety, a Paris gunsmith who heads the national gunsmiths’ association…”. I doubt France has “stand your ground” laws so a person defending their home or business with lethal force is likely going to get arrested.
The store owners are being encouraged by the police to hire “private security” but they really can’t be armed…
Under French law, security guards are normally confined to the premises they are hired to protect, and they can only carry a weapon when lives are considered to be at “exceptional risk,” and even then only with the prefect’s sign-off for each individual assignment.
“We cannot be armed the way police officers and gendarmes are,” Mashhadi said.
Baudouin said a prefectoral order could at least have allowed agents to carry pepper gel on the street during the protest.
“A security agent alone can do nothing. What we saw was not even a crowd; it was a horde of rioters, violent people, and there were many of them,” Baudouin said.
The only option is to evacuate staff, lock up, and call the police, he said, stressing that guards may block a doorway but can’t strike anyone, as a single complaint can cost them their license.
“We are there to prevent, deter, alert, and assist.”
What are a couple of unarmed “security guards” going to do against 100 looters, drive them off with baguettes?
Still, take note. The police in France are outnumbered, outgunned and outmotivated so they are telling storeowners that they can’t protect their stores so they should hire private security that also cannot protect their stores.
It brought to mind a post from last year, This Is The Future They Have Planned, that looked at a future where more or less paramilitary groups are hired by the wealthy for protection while the peasantry is left to fend for themselves. I referenced this Tweet:
Brentwood, Beverly Hill, Bel Air (home of the Fresh Prince!). The wealthy are offered off-duty cops to protect them but the average person can’t afford such protection.
Around the globe They are intentionally sowing chaos because chaos allows them to offer relief and people will take whatever is offered, no matter how ugly, as long as it makes life better. I wrote:
Some might think “you would have to be a sociopath to intentionally create chaos and violence for your own benefit” and you would be correct. I came to the realization a long time ago that our ruling class was mostly insane. Only insane people would do what it takes to become a power player and those that aren’t already insane are driven that way in the cesspool that is the culture of D.C. and the other coastal power centers.
A little black pill this morning: there isn’t anything you can do to stop it.
I can hear some screeching about being black pilled and “doomerism”, a retarded saying used by Pollyanna plan trusters who think that Trump “winning” the last election means voting can still change things. Look at how mired Trump already has become and how he is laser focused on Israel. Nothing is going to change. Shutting down USAID was great but it was a drop in the bucket and the functions will just move quietly somewhere else. It doesn’t matter who ostensibly runs those agencies, the rank and file, the millions of mandarin class worker drones, all hate Trump with a white hot rage because deep down: They. Hate. You.
I was at first a little surprised, well really a lot surprised, that antifa and bLM didn’t start rioting again once Trump was in office in order to destroy the nascent populism he had awakened but then it became apparent he was doing a great job of that all on his own.
As always you are your own first responder and if something bad happens it will be long over before the cops show up. If you can’t protect yourself, your family and your property eventually you will become victims. That is exactly what They want and Their playbook hasn’t changed for over a century: chaos and violence and brutality is how They evangelize the new world order.
We have our second amendment– but how many who champion it and even donate cash to keep it going would actually put it to use when this happens to us?
Today? Not many but if people lose everything? A lot.
I too noticed that the media interviewed a White kid, in spite of the fact that virtually all of the ‘protesters’ doing the looting and burning were the brown and black skinned Arab and African invaders. They were brought to Europe intentionally to do exactly what they are doing. And like always the lying media is playing their role to support their globalist employers.
