WTF, Macron
Macron and PM Lecornu promised a firm judicial response from prosecutors but have not authorized a military response to the on-going riots in France.
Most French citizens wonder where their AWOL leaders are.
I remember the riots in Baltimore City, MD that broke out on 4/6/1968 after MLK was assassinated.
Clifton Park ,near my house ,served as a major staging ground for the military. I did not hear one adult complain about the presence of tanks
Macron acknowledged “failures in anticipation and intelligence” but will not remove Interior Minister Laurent Nunez, who claims the violent protests are mainly over the cost-of-living crisis ,while obviously omitting comments on Antifa and radical Muslim terrorism

I'm stunned Macron blamed “insurrectionists from fringe far-left groups, joined by numerous criminals” for the violence. Maybe no more Celine Dion concerts while France is burning?😉

Streets were closed and so were many shops near the Stade de France, the site of the Saints/Steelers game yesterday. Several fan activities were called off due to safety concerns and local protests
Saint-Denis(stadium area) is 10km north of Paris’ city center and more than 13 km from Porte d’Italie, the location of most of the protests near southern Paris
Art Rooney II ,the Steelers owner, met directly with Macron at the Élysée Palace ahead of the game to review safety plans USA State Department & NFL security were heavily involved in the plans.

If the “Rioters Pay” bill is enacted in France, protesters may be ordered to pay up to $11,140 in compensation for damages that occured from crimes and offenses committed by force or violence. Also, welfare payments may be seized to cover costs.
The bill passed in France's Senate.

Six months to the elections in France. Macron can't run for a third term in May 2027, and he's finally stating that that some groups on the Far Left want to bring down the Republic. Talk about moving at a snail's pace.
