Great thanks to extreme left, anarchist and their anti European activists !
the riots will happen anyway, the votes do not matter, the extremes will be violent anyway.
Who are the rioters.left or right wing?
So what are the reasons for the rioting?
The report leaves the viewer baffled! Who are the expected rioters, and what exactly is the reason for the expected violence?
when ever leftist go chaos happen
They don't like democracy so they destroy?
Why are they in France?
On left wingers loot and ransack buildings.
Europe is imploding
Prefer the “far right” to Leftist and Islamist rioters…
Not much of "Democracy" if there's a new Civil War every time one side loses…
It's interesting that they never say what groups are doing the rioting. If the "far right" was out destroying buildings and setting fires, I think that would be included in the headlines, everywhere, over and over. People may disagree with their views, but destroying eye glasses stores or florist shops simply is not in line with young conservatives who value family, religion, business, and the integrity of france. The USA is the same. It just doesn't really happen. If the left, or migrants are rioting, the news tries to keep it vague. It's been like this for years. It's obvious to everyone.
far left violence
Leftist violence again.
I think in the near future, France has to pay a lot for security force, intelligence force in order to maintain peace between Far Right and Far Left. No more money for space exploration and quantum computing… 😑
France will be France and still under the US Israel leadership
Why aren't they be called far left rioters? 🤔🤔🤔
France has fallen
Import the 3rd world,
Become the 3rd world.
Who knew ?
Wait – I thought the left was all for peace.
Their destruction just shows how much they hate the country they live in.
Deport
If Macron had not thrown his dummy out of his pram, we would not be having this snap election!
Don’t see this happen in Russia.
The peaceful left won't riot they obey democracy around the world, it's the right who are the bad guys
Diversity and inclusion you voted for this
Election violence also known as Terrorism…
That is like the de facto definition of terrorism…. Left wing terrorists attempting to further their political agenda through violence..
They never say who is committing the violence do they?
The French got f ed so hard over the years by their immigration policy, but it seems they learnt to like it
Far left violence…
🙏
🙏
Left always calls on police and military to quell post-election demonstrations by the Right.
Getting ready for the "celebration" 😂😂😂😂
Hahahahahahaha, #2030ShariainEurope.
I said this would happen the left is another party bought and paid for
Reminds me of the quote ' What are you rebelling against ?' "What have you got?"
