Strangelove 1,546 Posted July 3, 2023 I see some users are French here... Can they give their experience beyond the news headlines and videos? From what I am seeing online the riots are escalating very quickly and its the worst one in multiple generations. They tried to kill the mayor of Paris and the city has seemingly lost control. https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.cnn.com/cnn/2023/07/02/world/france-protests-violence-mayors-house-attack-intl-hnk/index.html The other forum I frequent made a topic about this so I thought to post one here. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Siren 29,066 Posted July 3, 2023 I saw a video of a crowd looting a grocery store following a luxury car crashing into it's storefront. It's crazy to witness from online. 0 Quote Last.FM | Discogs | Letterboxd Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's crazy to witness from online. I know France has bad periods of civil rest but it seems like this one isn't much of a joke. So I wonder if Lana will stop the show in France if things escalate. NYC during the George Floyd riots was pretty bad from my memory, but that seems mild compared to the videos I am seeing in Paris right now. At the same time I am reading Paris is actually quite normal right now. There must seriously be some systemic political issues there. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not particularly on point with the news and politics but my understanding is that they're protesting the killing of a 17yo named Naël who was killed by the police 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
