France seems to have a national culture of ultra violent mayhem directed at ruling classes. They did invent the guillotine and kind of the concept of revolution.
The mainstream is soft pedaling this thing the same as they did the George Floyd summer of love mostly peaceful protests. Don't worry, normies, these are virtuous innocent kids.
I've seen some on the ground reporting. Average people there seem to support it and it's being fluffed as a positive thing by the local leftist establishment.
The most noteworthy thing about this is that France is a nuclear power. It's not like Zimbabwe falling or something.
The ruling classes in France have always been pompous elitists who don't seem to care about the people they rule over, so its easy to see why the people revolt. For example, after hiding out in his bunker while Paris was burning, Macron found time to attend a Celine Dion concert with his wife. What a prick! When he finally addressed the people, he blamed the riots on them and not the islamo/communists who burned and looted Jewish owned businesses there. They left the Muslim owned ones alone, of course.
Macron is a failed leader because he won't be honest about the islamo/communist involvement that has taken the riots to a new level. He's smart enough to know what's going on, but he'd rather pretend its just normal protests so he doesn't have to deal with it.
