I thought riots were one of the main tourists attraction of Paris along Louvre and Eiffel Tower.

A police officer could suspect me of being a protestor for whatever reason and shoot me. No fucking thanks. I like living relatively pain-free.

Don't ever come to America. You don't even have to look like a protester for the cops to shoot you.

I’ve avoided there for over a decade so we’re good.

Not that the police where I’m from are much better…

They should be more worried about their false democracy rather than their tourism profits.

I was recently looking for a vacation destination for next year. France was on the board, but I'm not real interested with this going on. These riots will be over then, but they seem to have another every other day. Edit a word

Paris is just Paris, its drama incarnate, the rest of France is basically a different country.

No it aint there's been 4 nights straight of fireworks at night where i live and my way to work still has glass shards on the bike paths from the JCDecaux panels that we broke
