Incredible how warped this reporting is. Basically suggesting violence was an appropriate response. Absolute disgrace

Stop calling them protestors . Protestors don’t attack and burn

Why don't the news outlets focus on all the Palestinian flags instead of finding the one French flag they could. Focus on the leftist slogans that have been sprayed everywhere too.

The trade Unions started all this. France is lost, it's a country at on its way to a civil war.
