What makes you think French people are violent?? I have always experienced that French people are really friendly. A little passionate about their country and food, but that's a good thing I think.

I don't like the French .I found them to be arrogant and rude .I took my kids to Disneyland paris a few years back and wont go again .None of us enjoyed it .Even my kids said they never wanted to go again .It was an experience none of us want to repeat .

They're an tricky bunch

france has a great history of revolution and overthrowing their goverments...

if your goverment isnt afraid of the people you are doing it wrong

You can spend an entire year, visiting museums in Paris, and you still would not have scratched the surface. The riots were bad, but are you seriously suggesting that they come close to approaching the level of violence we have in our cities?

just a few idiots burning their own city/towns.

just passionate

they treat you better if you speak French to them

Violence is sadly a part of human nature. It is not the only part of human nature, but it's definitely there.

A government is the attempt by humans to arrive at a mutually agreeable way to protect the rights and safety of the many while allowing for individual freedom. It is always an uneasy peace and can erupt into violent protest which can and has developed into revolution - throwing over an existing power and replacing it with another.

The French are not any more violent than the rest of mankind. They are just in the spotlight at the moment.

I love France too

why do you single out French people or france?

i mean the French revolution wasnt exactly a cake party...
having said that it was a pivitol event in human history

like we haven't had time like that here too 😏

The French don’t have school massacres even if they have violent protesters.

But they riot with such style...

There is no unified culture in France currently. Nor a unified attitude towards foreigners. Many religions, many practices, many behaviors...

They do have a history rich with violence and injustices but that was the past and other countries weren't exactly saints.

we had to leave the nightclub in paris because the BO on the dance floor was making our eyes water.

They are passionate. The violence is secondary....
