Lol.

Before the US elections you had Orlando, cops getting shot in Texas and Louisiana, and a riot every month. Since then? Crickets.

Now that a far right nutter is running in France, there are riots there.

You'd almost think these people were being manipulated by the far right.

     Given the disaster of the Hollande administration, the current weak state of LR, and the ongoing problems with the European Union, it's no surprise that the far-right has become quite powerful in France. I would caution against underestimating Le Pen.

This could be a real opportunity for Hollande. If he really orders the police to go in heavy and start cracking heads, he could have a 9/11-style rally effect and boost the center-left. But like most center-leftists, he is an idiot will probably do nothing and hand the country over to Le Pen.

     French police are not American police. It would be hugely out-of-character for them to behave in such a fashion and violently crack down on rioters.

A lot of hugely out-of-character things have been happening recently. Seriously, he should just seize the moment.

god you are deluded

Monday’s daily OpinionWay poll showed that first-round support for anti-euro candidate Le Pen rose 1 percentage point to 27 percent, with Macron and Republican Francois Fillon unchanged at 20 percent each. While no surveys so far have shown Le Pen even close to a victory in May’s run-off, she’s quickly narrowing the gap to her rivals. OpinionWay showed Macron would defeat Le Pen by 58 percent to 42 percent in the second round. His advantage has halved in less than two weeks.

Le Pen is gaining from her tough stance on the disturbances that flared up across France last week during mostly peaceful protests against police brutality.

Le Pen benefiting from this doesn't make your argument any less absurd.

How is your man Hamon doing in the polls?

Do you know that the riots ended 10 days ago?

If Le Pen gained 1 point in one poll yesterday it has nothing to do with the riots.

More like 5 days ago. Le Pen's surge in the OpinionWay run-off poll has been going on for about two weeks.
