Even though the American media have really only picked up on it in the past couple of days, the "student" riots in France have been going on for a month now. The students have been looting businesses, burning down schools and government buildings, setting cars on fire … all allegedly in protest of alleged teacher/staff shortages, dilapidated buildings, and long school days.

Watch that video and then bask in the stupidity of Rep. Ro Khanna, who said a day later that "students and teachers are asking for safe schools, enough teachers and smaller classes." It's hard to have a safe school after you've burned it to the ground. As we reported earlier, CNN's Abby Phillip seems to think the students are protesting as a result of debt, bond rates, and unemployment.
Rob Schneider listed all of the things that France offers to citizens and migrants:
France has FREE health care, paid parental leave, paid family leave, FREE child care, FREE preschool, 5 weeks paid vacation, a 35 hour work week, generous unemployment and housing benefits, and heavily subsidized higher education. Everything the left says they want AND THEY'RE STILL PROTESTING AND BURNING SHIT DOWN.

@RobSchneider Their workers' paradise attracted exactly the sort of people who will overload their welfare safety net and destroy it because they didn't guard their borders. https://t.co/Ne50NHfBAn

@RobSchneider @PeggyCScott Exactly. And the money is running out. The “tax the rich” idea eventually implodes. Unfettered immigration has caused a huge housing shortage & downward pressure on wages. The average French 35-year-old earns $34,500 vs $72,500 in the U.S. “European Socialism” is a pipe dream.

@RobSchneider @Riley_Gaines_ 57% of France’s GDP is spent on social welfare programs. More than Communist China or Russia.

@RobSchneider @wendyp4545 No matter how much you give, socialist looters will always demand more until they take or destroy everything of value.

This issue is never the issue … the issue is the revolution.
@RobSchneider No matter how much they get, they always want more. There is no endpoint where their needs will be satisfied.

@RobSchneider That's because they actually don't want any of that!! They want to burn it down!! Never been about nothing else!!

Fun bonus post: As long as we're on the topic of looting, Polymarket reports that a Paris resident dumped pots of scalding water on looters.

@esjesjesj Shut the fuck up, may the skin of those who ruin the lives of everyday french citizens burn; this must be normalized, otherwise the looting will be normalized.
