Rioters in Paris Ram a Car Into the Mayor's House, Injuring His Wife and Kids in "Unspeakable Cowardice"
A car was pushed into the residence of the mayor of a town south of Paris by rioters, wounding the mayor's wife and one of his children as demonstrations over the killing of a child by a police officer continue in France.
Vincent Jeanbrun, the mayor of L'Hay-les-Roses village, said on Twitter on Sunday that protesters "rammed a car" into his home before "setting a fire" while his family was sleeping." "One of my children and my wife both suffered injuries. According to Jeanbrun, it was a cowardly murder attempt of unimaginable proportions.
His tweet further read, "Last night a milestone was reached in horror and disgrace."
On the fifth night of pandemonium in France, the terrible occurrence occurred. After police shot and killed Nahel M., a 17-year-old teenager, as he attempted to flee a traffic stop, rioters set fire to vehicles, destroyed infrastructure, and fought with security personnel.
Following a nationwide deployment of security forces to suppress France's greatest social unrest in years, police have made 719 arrests by early Sunday, according to Hindustan Times.
The nation's rapidly rising violence is putting President Emmanuel Macron's ability to lead in jeopardy. It is also revealing the long-standing resentment people have for being discriminated against and not having enough opportunities in their relatively disadvantaged neighbourhoods.
