Paris is currently experiencing their first ever George Floyd effect. The festivities broke out following the police shooting of a 17-year-old named Nahel M. during a pursuit. The all-too familiar narrative appears to be unfolding quite nicely: widespread looting, raging fires, riotous protests, and demands for the implicated officer’s head on a platter. Even celebrities are capitalizing on the surge of public outrage with useless and dopey statements. The George Floyd playbook, it seems, remains unchanged.

And of course, no George Floyd moment would be the same without copious amounts of looting.

Just as we’ve seen in the U.S., the left-wing mainstream media in Paris has cemented its narrative: an innocent young man, who did nothing wrong, was cruelly “executed” by law enforcement. They’re continually broadcasting this story, ensuring the public remains in a state of simmering fury.
Protests and unrest erupted in the Paris region overnight after police shot dead a 17-year-old who failed to stop when ordered to by traffic police.
Video circulating on social media shows a police officer pointing a gun at the driver of a car, before a gunshot is heard. The car then crashes to a stop.
The teenager, named as Nahel, died of bullet wounds in the chest despite help from emergency services.
The officer accused of shooting him has been detained on homicide charges.
The shooting triggered a series of protests on Tuesday night in Nanterre, the area just west of Paris where the teenager was killed. Some 31 people were arrested following the disorder.
Nahel is the second person this year in France to have been killed in a police shooting during a traffic stop. Last year, a record 13 people died in this way.
However, as we all know, there’s two sides to every story. In this case, the other side of the story is that the young man was driving recklessly, with no license, and when he was pulled over, he refused to cooperate with police, threatened them, and then sped off.

As of now, the streets of Paris look like a war zone.
??? As thousands of people commemorate Nahel, who was killed by the police, the streets turned into a battlefield after last night's riots. The revolt grows and intensifies with each passing minute.#Nanterre #France #Banlieues #Paris #Fransa #Nahel #nael pic.twitter.com/mjgs5e4YYy

As we saw here at home after Floyd’s death, fires are raging in France.
??? Riots break out in Nanterre for the third day in a row. Just like yesterday, numerous burned cars on the streets of France following the death of Nael, who was shot by the police.#Nanterre #France #Banlieues #Paris #Fransa #Nahel pic.twitter.com/2dHYIN8gJK

The parallels between this situation in Paris and the George Floyd upheaval in the U.S. are strikingly similar. It’s as if the old familiar script is being followed to the tee, and is mirroring the path of the George Floyd events.

Sadly, we’ve seen this movie before and we know how it ends. Mural artists, and statue-makers, you’re up next. Regardless of whether the officer involved is innocent or followed protocol correctly, his life as he knows it is essentially over, and Paris will never be the same again. That’s the power of the George Floyd Effect.
