Riots and violence are spreading across France that initially began as student riots against overcrowding in schools and teacher shortages. The Macron government announced budget cuts to schools last week. France's welfare spending is out of control and mass migration has wrecked the country.

A critic said that "The students' grievances about missing teachers and deteriorating schools were real at first. But dousing a principal in gasoline and attacking firefighters are acts of extreme violence. What makes this politically significant is the effort to turn frustration over schools into a much broader confrontation with the government."

An estimated 5,000 people, mostly teenagers, have been arrested nationwide and dozens injured. More than 600 police officers have also been injured. There were seven incidents in which people threw hydrochloric acid at law enforcement officers. Mobs are firebombing fire trucks. A 15-year old was arrested in Marseille for burning  a female bystander's face with a makeshift flame thrower made with an aerosol can and lighter.

Students have accused the police of using heavy-handed tactics, including the use of tear gas.

French intelligence claims the protest movement had been initiated by politicians from the ultra hard-left France Unbowed Party, known as LFI that has joined the riot protests. Bally Bagayoko, the leftist mayor of the Saint-Denis suburb, laughed and danced outside a blocked-off school that was in flames while demonstrators cheered him on.

Jesse Watters says that the left wants to destroy France in order to usher in communism. 

France is up in smoke over $6 billion. Watters said that the communist wishlist would cost an estimated $50 TRILLION.

Marine Le Pen also accused LFI of playing a direct role in the unrest. "This is no longer about high school student protests. It is about riots organized by professionals and overseen by deputies from La France Insoumise," Le Pen wrote on X in a translated post. "We must pass a new anti-rioters law so that participation in a riot is a clearly identified offense."

Footage shows Bally Bagayoko, mayor of the Saint-Denis suburb, laughing and dancing outside a blocked-off school while demonstrators cheer him on. Bagayoko is the mayor of 150 000 people, of which around 90% are immigrants, second-generation migrants and third-generation migrants.

The Paris Police Prefecture has filed a complaint against Mr Bagayoko for 'incitement to commit a crime'.
