Government Buildings Torched As French Riots Reach the ‘Point of No Return’ – PJ Media– pjmedia.com

In France, more than half a million people poured into the streets as mobs of radical left rioters, students, labor unions, and antifa thugs rampaged through historic districts, burning government buildings and bringing the country to a “point of no return,” according to Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu.

“Behind all this, there is obviously a political battle to wage,” Mr. Lecornu said.

The ancient city hall in Limoges, a classic example of neo-Renaissance and Louis XIII-style architecture, was burned to the ground overnight, along with other symbols of the national government.
