I was wondering, after reading this article, just what liberties the French people have regarding freedom of speech, assembly, etc. This sore loser Socialist leader, Royale, seemed to threaten France with inciting riots if she lost, and low and behold, she lost, and they are rioting, isn't she responsible for inciting this unrest? It's almost like she dared the French people not to vote for her - or else, and now the or else is happening, directed by her?
I could see if they jailed her or something, or if they smeared her all over the place, after she lost, or something that warranted rioting, but just because your side lost the election, you don't riot - that isn't what "civilized" people do anyway. You can demonstrate, you can assemble and use the system, but when you set fire to the UMP offices, schools, cars, etc. you just look like sore loser thugs, which clearly, they are.

Freedom of the press must only be exercised by protest actions that are within the bounds of the laws but not the destruction of properties. Inciting to public unrest is even a crime under the Penal Law.
