Let's ask Ai
are adults rioting in France?
Yes, adults are among those participating in the riots and protests in France.
• Demographics: While initial weeks of unrest involved high school and university students, recent nationwide cost-of-living and fuel protests have drawn a broad mix of adults, including trade union members, workers, retirees, Yellow Vest movement participants, and farmers.
• Arrests: French Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez confirmed that most of the people arrested during the violent clashes and looting are adults, alongside some radical groups and minors.
• Scale of Unrest: Total arrests across the country have surpassed 2,400 amid widespread property damage, arson, and clashes with police in cities like Paris, Marseille, and Limoges

Provide some kind of proof.
If I say "media is banned from showing Jews raping Muslims", you'd need proof, right?

Q: What is the policy in France on releasing information on criminals regarding race, nationality or religion
A: France operates under a strict color-blind ("universalist"😉 republican model that legally prohibits state authorities from collecting, processing, or publicly releasing statistical or personal data revealing a person's race, ethnic origin, or religion.
The Legal Framework
Constitutional and Republican Equality: Article 1 of the French Constitution mandates that France ensures the equality of all citizens before the law "without distinction of origin, race, or religion". The state views all people first and foremost as individual French citizens, rejecting official recognition of ethnic or racial minorities.
Data Protection & the CNIL: Under the 1978 Loi Informatique et Libertés (Data Processing and Liberties Law) and European GDPR regulations, the processing of "special category" data—including racial or ethnic origin and religious beliefs—by public authorities is strictly banned unless narrowly permitted by specific law for scientific or archival purposes. The independent data protection agency, the Commission Nationale de l'Informatique et des Libertés (CNIL), actively enforces these restrictions.
Historical Context: This aversion to racial or ethnic categorization stems heavily from the legacy of World War II and the Vichy regime, where state-held registries of religious and ethnic identities facilitated the persecution and deportation of Jewish people.
How This Applies to Criminals and Law Enforcement
No Official Racial or Ethnic Profiling/Reporting in Crime Stats: French police, prosecutors, and official government reports do not break down crime statistics, arrest records, or public press releases by race or religion. Doing so would violate data protection laws and the constitutional principle of universalism.
Nationality is Different: Unlike race or religion, nationality is a legal status rather than a protected racial/ethnic category. Authorities do record and occasionally release information regarding a suspect's or defendant's nationality (e.g., whether they are a French citizen or a foreign national) in judicial proceedings, administrative reporting, or immigration/deportation contexts.
Aggravating Factors in Hate Crimes: While authorities cannot categorize a general criminal by race, ethnicity, or religion as a matter of demographic tracking, French criminal law explicitly treats offenses motivated by racism, xenophobia, or religious hatred as aggravating circumstances that carry harsher penalties (Articles 132-76 and 132-77 of the Penal Code). In these contexts, the court examines the prejudice behind the act rather than labeling the perpetrator by a racial or religious demographic.

Hmm, just like in my OP.
No wonder you hate using sources.

@J-D saidSo you agree the protests in France were about schools, despite you and the other right-wingers claiming they weren't. Good.
That's what started the protests.
That is not what it is about now.
You know that.
Keep living in denial.
My OP didn't say anything about schools, you were the one who brought it up.
@vivify
The looting and burning right now has absolutely nothing to do with kids and their schools.
That is what started the protests and then scum third worlders got involved.
Now many groups are involved.
I'm not sure what you think you won here but you are one delusional weirdo.
France is burning because of third world scum.
End of fukkin story.
