France violence: Macron blames it on video games

July 1, 2023

As the mobs continue to burn France after the fatal shooting of a Muslim man fleeing a traffic stop, the country’s President Emmanuel Macron has blamed “video games” for the mayhem in Muslim-dominated suburbs.

“You get the impression that for some of them, they are experiencing on the street the video games that have intoxicated them,” Macron said.

“It’s the responsibility of parents to keep them at home. It’s not the state’s job to act in their place,” Macron said.
