Since November 13th and indeed the terror attacks of January Place de la Republique in Paris has become the focal point for locals to show their unity and solidarity.
But on Sunday the square became the centre of violent clashes between French police and extreme left-wing groups on the eve of the COP21 conference.
Police published photos of Monday showing the types of objects that had been hurled in their direction by the radical protesters, including rocks, a hammer, a petanque ball, and candles from the memorial.
Images of the Place de la Republique after the clashes showed the square littered with rocks and flowers also taken from the memorial.
Boulet said he felt "sick" at what had happened.
"We maintain the monument every week. This belongs to all French people," he said.
As disgusting as this is, I just find it ridiculous that in the wake of an Earth day or a climate march, you will usually see the place trashed afterwards. Litter all over the place, garbage everywhere. What a way to respect the planet.
Say what you will about the Tea Party but at least they cleaned up after themselves and often left the place better looking than when they arrived.
The Islam terrorists are right wingers. I don't wee why the left would support hard core conservative Koran stumping right wing Muslims.
Yeah, I don't get that either. They are one of the most hyper-conservative cultures on the planet that practice everything liberal despise, yet libs bend over backwards to apologize for them.
Muslims overwhelmingly vote for the Left in all Western countries.
Sure, but otherwise, they are extremely conservative and bible stumping Koran believers. No different than bible stumping Christians in the bible belt.
The Islam terrorists are right wingers. I don't wee why the left would support hard core conservative Koran stumping right wing Muslims.
You know standing in front the left side/passenger side is considered the right side and the right/drivers side is the left side.
Left is confused by muslims blending their laws and religion.
Obama and the social justice disapproves of referncing terrorists as Islamic related and considers them an innocuous group of people set upon their evil ways by GWB and wearing Laker's jerseys.
Left wants to allow refugees,some of which are defintely terrorist into the country.The terrorists embrace their attitude and feel a kinship with the left and obama who warns isis they will be bombed and for his air war returning with more bombs than were dropped. ISIS loves the Left wing socialist Obama D-party!!
Obama just admonished the media for harsh reporting which makes ISIS look too bad.
An absolute love fest.
