Within the past few weeks, violent unrest has swept across Europe, from Portugal to Italy. France has borne the brunt of the destruction, with communities disrupted, streets overtaken by violence, and businesses ransacked. One of the country’s historic landmarks, which has stood for 143 years, was reduced to rubble by flames.
The widespread violence in France is a direct result of a failed, out-of-touch government that has opened the country’s borders, undermined law enforcement, spent recklessly for endless bureaucratic expansion, and diverted government services away from its own citizens. Americans should pay close attention. What is happening in France foreshadows what can happen when a government loses sight of its most basic responsibility to serve and protect its own citizens.
