ALGERIE FRANCAIS IS BURNING - THIS TIME TOTALLY OUT OF CONTROL

 Riots, lootings and burnings are nothing strange to France. Every New Year's eve hundreds of cars are set on fire in Paris and other cities by marauding teenagers, most of whom are third generation immigrants from Algeria, Tunisia and Morrocco.

But this time the protests are slightly different. It is not New Year's eve and the potesters include native French folks (meaning white folks).

The burning and looting started FOUR days ago and does not seem to be cooling off. Paris, Marseiiles, Lyons, Strasbourg and other cities have been affected.

The looters are targetting high end fashion stores like Louis Vutton and Zara and Apple stores. They are carting off high end merchandise worth millions. 

This round of burning and looting seems to be along the rich versus poor divide. Like the Occupy Wall Street and We Are The 99% protests in New York in 2011.

Plus the teenage mobs have also looted gun stores. Assault rifles and machine guns have been fired loosely in Paris and other cities.

Macron is in a tough spot and he does not seem to be the right stuff to handle these riots. No French president has resigned before in modern France or been forced to leave office. But there is always a first time. 

Here are some short videos about the rioting in France.
