The AFP reported a city employee standing in front of that building in tears, being comforted by a local councilman while hundreds of people watched their town hall burn.

The mayor of Limoges, Guillaume Guérin, said no grievance can ever justify the destruction of public property.

And the shopkeepers, they reported, showed that around 1,500 stores across France were hit by violence.

Macron admitted that some shop owners defended their own stores and windows against the looters, but without having any kind of, well, I don't know, AR-15s with high-capacity magazines, I'll call them maybe normal-capacity magazines, it's really hard to defend yourself against these kinds of crowds.

The mayor of Paris, Emmanuel Gregoire, called the damage considerable and unprecedented, and a Euronews crew was attacked by looters near the Place de la République.

Now, the police took the brunt of the damage.

Interior Minister Lauren Nunes said more than 600 officers were injured and more than 2,000 people were detained.

Four officers were seriously hurt and nineteen people detained.

The mayor, Guillaume Guérin, said protesting is a right and anger deserves to be heard, and that no disagreement can ever justify destroying public property.

From Taiwan, the Ministry of National Defense reported nine Chinese military aircraft and fourteen ships in the twenty-four hours to six on Saturday morning, with five of the sorties crossing the median line of the strait.

By the standards of recent months, that is a quiet day, and we report quiet days too.
