Two Dead and 192 Injured After PSG’s Champions League Victory Descends Into Chaos
Two people have died, nearly 200 have been injured and hundreds arrested amid extraordinary scenes of chaos after PSG’s Champions League victory triggered riots, fires and violent clashes across France. The Telegraphhas the story.
Thousands of supporters gathered in the French capital to watch PSG face Inter Milan in Munich, both on a beam-back at the Parc des Princes and around the city, but it descended into scenes that prompted Minister of the Interior Bruno Retailleau to say “barbarians have taken to the streets of Paris”.

By Sunday morning, 559 people had been arrested and police were forced to evacuate the Champs Élysées. Two deaths have been confirmed – one in Paris after a 20 year-old woman on a scooter was hit by a car, and the other a 17 year-old boy in Dax from stab wounds – plus 192 injuries. …
Meanwhile, a police officer has been induced into a coma after being injured by a firework. According to Le Figaro, he was hit in the eye by a stray firecracker. An investigation has initially been opened “for intentional violence against a public official”.
The number of arrests continues to climb. According to the latest figures from the authorities, 559 people were arrested, including 491 in Paris, on Saturday night. A total of 692 fires were reported, of which 264 were vehicle fires. Twenty-two police officers were injured, as were seven firefighters. …
Even before half-time of a game PSG won 5-0, police in riot gear ran towards disorderly fans, who threw bottles and let off fireworks as they retreated. On the Champs Élysées, what should have been the joyful celebration of PSG’s two first-half goals soured, with officers armed with batons and shields needing to disperse unruly crowds.

The clashes mirrored what had taken place earlier in Munich, when police engaged with Inter fans at the Universität subway station at around 5.20pm local time. The city’s U-bahn was struggling to cope with the number of fans attempting to reach the stadium leading to frustration among both sets of supporters about the difficulty of boarding a train. Police officers in riot helmets were witnessed chasing Italian fans up escalators, some of whom returned and aimed improvised weapons at the police. They responded in turn with pepper spray.

In some of the comments from the public about this on MSN, several said they had witnessed organized gangs of thugs (not mentioning ethnicity) who had started rioting long before the match even took place, so it seemed to be planned violence carried out NOT by football fans, but by these organized gangs.
This has nothing to do with a football match. That fact should be patently obvious to anybody seeing this footage, which has now become a regular and predictable way of life in Paris, seemingly. And you see the average age of the people involved. This appears to be driven predominantly by 2nd and 3rd generation migrants, in my opinion. France is lost. I don’t even think Le Pen could turn this around as the country is broken beyond repair. It’s not the people you’re letting in currently, it’s the offspring of those you let in years ago;
”Whatever your moral stance on multiculti, multiracial issues, the undeniable fact is that if mass deportations occurred across Europe, our countries would be better educated, richer, happier places with far lower levels of criminality. On top of this, our governments and police forces would be far less authoritarian; our teachers and journalists far less propagandistic, and our judiciary far less tyrannical. As ever, I encourage brave liberals to make a logical, rational and coherent argument against these statements…..”
Isn’t this exactly what the cabal running the world have worked toward. Chaotic riots, driven by division. division of race, religion, sport and god knows what else. The best thing people can do is support their own beliefs and respect those of their fellow man. Wouldn’t that make a refreshing change.

How is the Africanisation and Muslimifacation of France working out?
Paris is a mess. Looks like a bad ‘Out of Africa’ film.
Isn’t rioting a national sport in Framce?

I fear we’re only a few years’ behind.
