French President Emmanuel Macron made quite the interesting choice on Wednesday evening. Instead of addressing the growing nationwide riots over an officer-involved shooting, he decided to attend an Elton John concert. I mean, who needs to deal with a little crisis when you can kick back and enjoy some tunes, right?
It all started when a 17-year-old Algerian teenager was shot and killed while trying to escape from the police in a Paris suburb. Now, let’s be clear here, the officer who fired the shot was immediately arrested and charged. But apparently, that wasn’t enough to satisfy the angry mobs.
So what does Macron do? He sends out the police to restore order, because that’s always a great idea. Except, surprise, surprise, it’s not really working. In fact, things seem to be getting worse in some areas. You’ve got fires blazing, cars being destroyed, and stores being looted. It’s like a war zone out there.
And guess who’s leading the charge? A lovely combination of African and Middle Eastern migrants, along with those delightful black bloc groups. They’re wreaking havoc, destroying surveillance cameras, and doing everything they can to avoid getting caught. I must say, they’re quite the creative bunch.

But it doesn’t stop there. These rioters are arming themselves, attacking the police with explosives, fireworks, Molotov cocktails, and all sorts of blunt weapons. It’s like they’re playing a twisted game of “let’s see who can cause the most destruction.”
Now, you’d think that Macron would be a little concerned about all of this chaos happening in his country. But no, not him. While his people are in distress, he’s off enjoying an Elton John concert. Talk about priorities, am I right?
The situation is escalating quickly, and more buildings are being damaged or destroyed as we speak. It’s a real mess out there, folks. And it’s just like those Black Lives Matter riots we saw in the United States last year. I guess everyone wants a piece of the action.
French Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin did try to sound tough by saying that the government’s response will be “extremely firm.” But forgive me if I don’t find much comfort in his words. Actions speak louder than words, and Macron’s actions seem to be saying, “I’ll just let the chaos unfold while I enjoy some fabulous music.”
It’s times like these when you really need a leader who can take charge and handle a crisis. Unfortunately, it seems like Macron is more interested in his own entertainment than the welfare of his country. But hey, at least he knows how to have a good time, right? Maybe he can teach the rioters a thing or two about partying while they’re at it.
