A replica of the Arc de Triomphe is pictured through the smashed window of a perfumery the day after riots erupted on the Champs Elysee avenue during the 18th straight weekend of demonstrations by the yellow vests in Paris, France, Sunday, March 17, 2019. Published Sunday, March 17, 2019 8:32AM EDTParis cleaned up one of the world's most glamorous avenues Sunday after rioting by an ultraviolent core in the dwindling yellow vest protest movement angry at President Emmanuel Macron.
"This is disgusting. I used to have support for them, but they have gone too far. A mother and baby nearly died... This isn't protest -- this is criminal," said Alice Giraud, a 42-year-old musician from Marseille and mother of two, who was inspecting a burnt out kiosk on the Champs-Elysees that still reeked of smoke.
Some 10,000 people participated in Saturday's Paris protest, according to France's Interior Ministry, up from the 3,000 recorded the Saturday before. Around the country, the ministry estimated that it was up from last week -- at 32,300, compared with 28,600. The movement that began Nov. 17 of last year tapped into widespread discontent with high taxes and diminishing living standards in working class provinces -- and anger at Macron, seen as too friendly with the rich and powerful and out of touch with French concerns.
He met security officials at the crisis centre overseeing the police response, after cutting short a weekend ski trip late Saturday night. But he also tweeted that the rioting showed that his government needs to do more to address protesters' concerns.
Remember when everyone was making fun of Vancouver for trashing their own city in 2011... get a load of these geniuses in Paris.
Criminals have engaged in vandalism. Protestors are still abiding by the law. Macron is still a pathetic coward who sent government security forces to attack his own citizens.

Why France and not the U.S. is leading the Ethiopian Airlines crash investigationEthiopian Airlines has sent the black boxes to France rather than to the U.S., where the Boeing 737 Max 8 was manufactured.

Brian Mulroney: The Canadian government needs to take action on anti-SemitismAmbivalence is for the cowardly. Consideration should be given to a national action plan, such as those in Norway and France Why would goverment stop antisemitism when they are funding it!!!!!! That’s kinda hard when we have it in our liberal government. They gave 50M to Palestine who pays pensions for the killing of Jews. You cannot get any worse than that! The Christian conservatives and evangelicals who populate the Canadian Conservative Party are by definition antisemitic. Jews are by definition doomed to eternal damnation if they don't accept Jesus.
