Young rioters clashed with police and looted stores Friday in a fourth day of violence in France triggered by the deadly police shooting of a teen, piling more pressure on President Emmanuel Macron after he appealed to parents to keep children off the streets and blamed social media for fueling unrest.
Lol, no Macron. This is one of those times where social media is clearly a societal positive. Without social media, you could have swept your little police violence under the rug without any pressure to make a change. But now people are informed and organized enough to not stand by idly as police murder us.
Instead of bemoaning your people being unhappy, why don’t you actually do something about the root issue? Isn’t that your job?
