Greta Thunberg is supporting the violence in France.

As I have found out, Greta was protesting in St. Denis.

I have seen riots in Paris, walking from Châtelet to Bastille and beyond.

The rioting was unequal, even there there were bona fide protesters.

Greta may have been naïve or fausse naïve, but she is not obviously supporting violence.

Peaceful students existed even in Paris on the 17th. Certainly, not exactly the ones leading the course of events everywhere, but they existed.

A couple that talked to me, and who were obviously not rioting, said it was no longer just about the high schools, it was general about the budget, about what hospitals get, and about the old age pensions.

At Bastille, I arrive probably when some started making it violent, by letting off fireworks up in the air. However, whether that assessment was correct or not, I did see peaceful protesters simply sitting down with cardboards, like one making (unfairly) fun of RN, one of the President, one asking "tax the rich" ...

So, criminals hijacked the protest, but not everywhere even in Paris, and very probably not in St. Denis. Like that's where a lot of Muslims live themselves, perhaps not the place likeliest to get looted ...

If you don't know what I mean by "again" — when Greta had been kidnapped on International waters, he made a video asking IL to keep her locked up.
