Anger in France is on the upswing and rightfully so. People have had enough of French president Francois Hollande and his government.
To understand the rising anger, let’s recap terrorist four events in Europe, three of them in France, in the last 18 months.
Charlie Hebdo, Paris, Brussels, Nice
- On January 7, 2015 11 people were killed and another 11 injured in the Charlie Hebdo Murders.
- On November 13, 2015 a series of Coordinated Terrorist Attacks occurred in Paris and the city’s northern suburb, Saint-Denis. The attackers killed 130 people, including 89 at the Bataclan theatre. Another 368 people were injured, 80–99 seriously. Seven of the attackers also died. The attacks were the deadliest on France since World War II.
- On March 22, 2016 an Isis-Sponsored Suicide Bomb Attacks in Brussels Kills Dozens; Fear Descends on Belgium.
- On July 14, 2016 a Terrorist Attack in Nice killed at least 84. Another 18 remain in critical condition.
Following the Charlie Hebdo Murders, the popularity of French president Francois Hollande recovered a bit. The rebound was short-lived as eurosceptic, anti-EU candidate Marine Le Pen soon took the lead in French Polls.
Valls Booed in Tribute to Nice Victims
Now French citizens are so upset that French PM Valls Booed at Nice Tribute.
Prime Minister Manuel Valls was on Monday booed in Nice after attending a minute’s silence in tribute to the victims of last week’s atrocity in the city. Cries of “Valls resign” rang out from part of the crowd that was gathered to pay respect to those who died.
More than two-thirds of French people polled in the wake of the Nice attacks “do not trust” President François Hollande and his government to combat terrorism effectively, according to an Ifop survey in Le Figaro. After the 2015 terror assaults, the majority of people expressed the opposite view.
The images of Mr Valls being booed contrasted with scenes following the Charlie Hebdo attack, when members of the government led a mass national unity parade through the streets of the capital. But the public anger highlights growing anxiety over a threat that an unprecedented security crackdown has failed to prevent.
It seems something happened to the “Je Suis Charlie” movement.
Mike “Mish” Shedlock
Hollande and others like him. live in gated communities with armed guards all around them, so they don’t really care. I’d give a week’s pay to see the look on his face if the terrorists ever got ahold of him.
And that’s just after the French people got their first shipment of Growacet!
Wait till they get the next shipments from the U.S.
Le Pen is mightier than La Sword!

Yes, Hollande, Merkel, Obama, they will all welcome illegal immigrants.
They want to tell you what good people they are.
.
But Not One will have an illegal immigrant live in their neighborhood.
And Not One made a long term plan to Educate and to Employ the Illegal Immigrant.
And they wonder why did this immigrant turn to malicious behavior ?
And Not one would have an illegal immigrant attend their child’s or grandchild’s private school.
So it is a fact that a when an illegal immigrant young person with no education and no language skills enters your child’s school, it means the entire classroom is slowed down,
and homework is limited.
It is happening at all the schools around here.
But the Private Schools excel, and then the Private School students get into University.
Rest Assured Hollande, Merkel, Obama, they are all the same in protecting the wealthy
and causing not only a wealth gap but an education gap too.
.
I think I too would boo Monsieur Valls if I had an opportunity.
After all, he IS French, and as a Brit its my patriotic duty to do so.
The worst of friends and the best of enemies, the Brits and French. That is the way it’s always been; that is the way it always will be.
PS! I’d happily boo Sarkozy too! 🙂
They had an interesting segment on the Invisibilia podcast about how a town in Denmark has made headway in changing the attitudes of young muslims.

It is worth noting that Norway’s extremely generous penal system has one very enviable result: one of the lowest recidivism rates in the world. Only 20% of Norway’s prisoner’s are re-arrested within 5 years of release compared to 76% in the US.
Maybe law and order policing isn’t the only solution to all of society’s problems. In France, for example, the biggest cause of radicalized muslim youth is the atrocious youth unemployment rate that leads to disenchantment. You can fairly say that France’s terrorist problem is a direct result of a failed economic system.
France needs FDR’s CCC (work camps for the young)?
France needs to stop importing unemployables who refuse to assimilate and for whom there are no jobs anyway. No camps required.
Denial of the first order….50% of US moslems support Sharia, what’s their excuse?
That statistic is meaningless. “Sharia law” can mean many different things to different people. American Jews, for example, have Rabbinical courts. In fact, many religions have their own judicial systems in the US. These “courts” basically serve as arbitration bodies for cases where both parties agree to abide by their decisions. Secular courts have even upheld decisions made by these religious courts.
To some American muslims they think of “Sharia law” as nothing more than the types of religious arbitration bodies that already exist.
You regurgitate your left wing talking points well.
Sharia law is living as a 3rd rate citizen in an appartied run government.
Google:
How the Copts are treated in Egypt.
How Christians are treated in Pakistan
How Buddhists are treated in the muslim southern Thailand
How Zooastronian are treated in Iran
And the penalty for breaking sharia law is death to the infidel.
Google how every conquered people has been treated by the conquering muslims.
Here is a hint for you. The word Slavic has its origins as where the muslims would go find slaves. The word for black and slave are the same in Arabic.
Michael, your are incorrect. Sharia Law as preached by state sponsored Islamic schools in many Islamic nations, and as exercised by Islamic jurisprudence in these nations is quite specific and inflexible on many points. One of these is the idea that there should be no separation of Church and State. Another is the subjugation of women and anyone not Muslim to second class status.
Strange that you blame the host nations for the violent rapes of their women perpetuated by Islamic doctrine of disrespect for women. Permission to rape infidels is in Islamic holy books. Strange that you blame host nations for terrorism and hacking off heads.
You live in a fantasy world of your own mind, oblivious to the violence perpetuated by Muslims wherever they gather. You remain ignorant of the Islam and Sharia as practiced for centuries, and as is being practiced now; Islam, the last barbaric empire religion of antiquity. During this past Ramadan, their holy month, they celebrated their religion with murderous barbaric attacks in well over a dozen nations. Are you daft man?
You got one thing correct, the statist ideology of socialism has created an economic disaster in the EU.
Perhaps that the secular law in the country they emigrated to, has degenerated to the point where Sharia seems positively liberating?
And honestly, who can blame them? The entirety of Sharia is some several hundred to a thousand or so pages. Which is less that the abstract of the Obamacare nonsense alone.
If the much ballyhooed “rule of law” is to have any meaning at all, a minimum prerequisite is that the law is compact enough that those ruled have some reasonable means of verifying whether the rulers are ruling by it or not. For all Sharia may or may not be, it at least passes that minimum standard required to be a valid law. Something the current US Federal Code doesn’t even come remotely close to.
… and, perhaps, a different kind of camp for them.
I understand that Sharia law as practiced by many countries is pretty brutal. However, I know that this suffocating state enforced Sharia law is not what all American muslims want when they talk about Sharia. I have some very good American muslim friends who talk about wanting the same kind of courts for Sharia as the Jewish Rabbinical courts that already exist in America.
I don’t see anything wrong with that kind of thing. It’s not much more than binding arbitration, where two parties sign an agreement to abide by the ruling of an arbitrator. American courts have long upheld rulings of arbitrators so long as all the parties freely chose to the arbitration in the first place. Of course, some kinds of things are just not subject to arbitration in the American legal system (e.g. criminal prosecutions).
” You can fairly say that France’s terrorist problem is a direct result of a failed economic system. ”
No – it is a failed political system.
Merkel, Hollande, they are all the same.
They invited thousands of illegal immigrants into their country.
Yet they did not set up Education and Employment for them.
And for the Housing, more often then not, illegal immigrants were placed in neighborhoods
that did not desire them, nor were designed for them. From limited jobs to limited public transportation, to neighbors burning down some of the housing.
And for composition, > 80 % were male youth, with no family and no chance of finding
a young female for dating or marriage.
.
.
Absolute Failure On ALL Fronts.
.
. And now they pay the price, for the illegal immigrants end up in Ghettos
being radicalized –
BECAUSE They have no parent, no education, no job, and no chance for a wife or family.

Touche!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Alexa completely ignores the contribution of Islam and BLOODY JIHAD.
Islam reflects its founder, Mohammed. He led his followers in bloody wars to spread Islam BY THE SWORD. When Mohammed conquered a city, he ordered the MURDER of its men and the RAPE of its women and the ENSLAVEMENT of its children.
The people of France do not want to live as 3rd rate citizens under appartied sharia law in their own country.
As I commented a few days ago about Obama’s failed immigration policies… several neighborhood children were playing “capture the flag” several weeks ago. It took the youngest kids less than one game to figure out they couldn’t leave their border unguarded and hope to win the game.
Obama, Hollande, Merkel — all too stupid to prevail in a children’s game.
The only problem I see is that the “cheeze eating surrender monkey” French are booing their horrid leadership — while the “brave, land of the free” US is not. Something wrong with this picture
Failed policies?
Depends. I’m confident they are viewed as a success if incremental ethnic cleansing of the US is the goal.
All I have to say is back here in ‘merica if you are long Treasuries you are going the proverbial “Full Retard.”
The corruption and outright stupidity of the so called “ruling classes” over here is so beyond ridiculous it defies even parody now.
Probably what folks in France are thinking…”this isn’t funny anymore and it’s certainly not a joke.”
I think Donald Trump has a clear shot at taking the White House now given the total incompetence of the “leaders of the Western World” response to the events of the past week.
The fact is Clowny thinks all this stuff is funny…”one big joke…and the joke’s on you.” Would appear the stock markef thinks otherwise and is putting billions upon billions down on that “bet.”
German train ‘axe attack’: Many reported hurt

Shouldn’t imagine that would go down well with the Krauts if the perpetrators name turns out to be ‘Abdul’.
I think the above comment is nearer the truth. France is on the point of revolution as the Hebdo and Nice events are recognised as government sponsored false flag events against their own people. You have to be rid of governments that are prepared to kill their own citizens to further their grip on power. The same goes for the fate of ALL western governments that are making a mockery of democracy by lying to their population: lies that are becoming obvious to even the most ardent of their supporters. There is a great anger arising as the awakening continues. God help us in the plea for restraint,
France on the point of revolution? – I don’t see it. Nations have a great capacity for suffering. Think of the numbers of French killed in WW1, and yet continued to soldier on with great suffering until the mutiny of 1917. It’s only when society has completely broken down that a revolt will happen. We’ve barely seen the surface scratched as yet. My hope is the French will follow the Brits and exit from this Eurononsense; but I agree if they are continually denied the freedom to determine their own future then there will indeed be a popular revolt – but I suspect we are a long way from that just now.
These attacks are coming every six months. What do you think will happen when they come every month instead. I think we will see more vehicle rampages since no guns nor explosives are required.
If you can read french :
“Le problème de la France, c’est qu’on ne peut pas évoquer le problème”
https://fr.sputniknews.com/france/201607181026763441-attentat-france-garantir-paix/
They do nothing, they are more concern about to be politically correct and protect criminal rights.
But french people are responsible because they vote for these bouffons.
Gets even more difficult when the criminals are actually those in power .
You forgot egypt air 804 in the recent major terrorist incidents. It took off from ……Paris
