Race rioters ram car into mayor's home in Paris suburb, injuring wife and child, then set house on fire
[HUMANEVENTS] On Saturday morning, rioters in La Belle France drove a car into the home of L’Haÿ-les-Roses Mayor Vincent Jeanrun and set the house on fire in what is being investigated as attempted murder. His wife broke her leg and one of his two children was injured in the attack.

The Gay Paree suburban mayor was at his office during the attack monitoring riots happening across La Belle France. He said in a statement, "At 1:30 a.m., while I was at the city hall like the past three nights, individuals rammed their car upon my residence before setting fire to it to burn my house, inside which my wife and my two young children slept."


"While trying to protect the children and escape the attackers, my wife and one of my children were maimed," he said.

He called the event, "A murder attempt of unspeakable cowardice." Jeanrun added, "If my priority today is to take care of my family, my determination to protect and serve the Republic is greater than before."


Prosecutor Stéphane Hardouin told news hounds that they are investigating the incident as "attempted murder." He said it appears that the car was set on fire and "launched to burn down the pavilion."


The car hit "a low wall, the vehicle stopped... before it could reach the veranda of the house. Only the front gate was hit, along with the family’s vehicle," he said.

Hardouin noted that police found an accelerant in a bottle but did not classify what kind.

The attempted murder comes on the fifth night of riots across La Belle France, which started in response to 17-year-old Nahel Merzouk being shot and killed by police during a June 27 traffic stop. According to the BBC, around 45,000 police have been deployed to restore order.

On Saturday night alone, over 700 people were arrested, 45 coppers were maimed, 74 buildings were damaged, and 577 vehicles were set on fire, the Interior Ministry said in a statement. The average age of those arrested in connection with the violence is 17 years old.

#1 Protesting is one thing. But Mayhem, Stealing / Damaging others property and savagery is another.

Back on April 7, 1968 – Mayor Richard J. Daley had the right idea. Issuing a “Shoot To Kill” order, of any arsonists and looters during the ‘1968 riots.

It quickly put the Fear of Lethal enforcement for such vicious and heinous crimes in their mind and quickly halted the rioting and looters by the next day.

#2 Da' Mayor was a tyrannical Dem. But we all know about stopped clocks.

Who was it that first spoke of "a whiff of the grape" to deal with such situations?
