And how does my name contradict any of the statements you're replying to?

Oh, is that what the police are accused of doing to those poor innocent "protesters"? How incredibly credibly, and definitely a great reason to engage in more vandalism and violence. Very convenient.
Saiko said: There also some witnessed cases where the police let looters and arsonists just do their thing
Accusations of such contradictory behavior clearly from only lends you further credibility.

Political choices and the lack of investment in youth and the future can destroy the lives of millions. Thousands of lives can be ruined by police brutality. Hundreds to thousands of lives can partly or strongly derailed by vandalism. All true at the same time.
You focus on one part of the current events while dismissing everything else.

While your dismissal of witness statements even from civil servants means by default that nothing happend, of course.

I dismiss claims of it just being "REALLY enthusiastic students" because I don't believe such students would set fire to schools and historic buildings (while people are inside them!), or loot luxury stores and brag about it on social media. If ever there were students protesting then they should not be used as a shield for criminals. OBVIOUSLY, shit like that is not about wanting better schools. As for inadequate funding for schools, it's not like France is spending particularly little, above average for OECD countries actually. Are the schools also supposed to be so terrible all the way from Italy to Belgium, where the riots have spread to? Poland spends less on education, half a GDP percentage less on secondary education, but I will bet you real money that you will not see those riots there. Besides, and I'd think it should go without saying, but we're clearly far from that ideal world: No amount of shitty schools justifies any of this. Stop defending scumbags. And it all has the stink of "fiery but peaceful" bullshit.

Oh I'm absolutely willing to believe that the police allowed cunts to commit crime in plain sight, because cops around the world have been doing that a lot recently. And I'm sure they'd intervene if the citizenry organized to fix the problem themselves, no problem at all suddenly. I just think it contradicts the idea that the police are being overly zealous in enforcing the peace, and I think it's utterly predictable that looters would employ cry-bully tactics.
And now the goal posts have moved to "living costs" and "public services". As if mass property damage and theft is going to help those things in any way either. And that's just according to mainstream media.
