The night's events exposed serious security failures and highlighted ongoing social tensions in France, with barbarians taking to the streets to commit crimes and provoke law enforcement. The scale of destruction, including hundreds of vehicle fires and widespread looting, shows that authorities failed to adequately prepare for and control the situation despite having experience with similar celebrations.

It's no surprise that street celebrations in France have descended into chaos, quite the contrary, as the country, especially its capital, becomes a playground for thugs with every popular festival. Authorities are familiar with the specific kind of people behind such incidents, but the state of impotence persists, as their actions do not match their harsh words.
