Paris: Migrants And Far Left Join Forces, Throw Molotov Cocktails At Police & Smash Up A Bank

Algerian flags mingled with Antifa banners as migrants and left wing extremists gathered on the streets of Paris to attack police and protest deportations in a "March for Justice and Dignity".

The event was nominally organised to protest alleged police brutality in the case of an individual identified in the media as Theo -- but despite that individual speaking out against the escalating violence in France, marchers used the occasion as an opportunity to bombard police with Molotov cocktails and burning flares in extraordinary scenes on Sunday.

Rioters on the march pressed grievances on issues which stretched far beyond policing in high-crime migrant communities, however, carrying banners calling on the government to end deportations of illegal migrants.
