The odd thing about the France riots is that they already (for years now) have fully 10% of their army dedicated to internal security within France.
One wonders if the French military will step in, and along the way, tell Macron his presidency is over.

Historically, when an Islamic population reaches between 7% and 14% of a nation, usually around 10%, they will start agitating to be governed by their own law rather than the law of the host nation, which is the begginning of their attempt to take over a nation and make it an Islamic nation. I don't know what the current % of the Islamic demographic is in France, but it appear that at least THEY think they have reached critical mass.
If the police and / or military don't get a handle on this and squash it like a bug, and probably either kill or deport the most egregious offenders, there's a good chance France will go down, and be a footnote in history books. If that is the case, it may become the core territory of "Greater Andalusia". It wouldn't surprise me if they moved the capitol from Paris to Tours.
That's just my take, based only on the reports I'm seeing. Truth on the ground may be somewhat different. I do wish @"Rodinus" would give a report, as he is the only direct link we have on the ground there I think. I do know he's armed and has military training, so depending on the situation at his location, he may be a tad busy at the moment to be reporting in here.
