In this report on the ongoing socialist tantrums in France, we learn that “youths” from the suburbs are preying on the demonstrators: Hundreds arrested in Paris protests. (Hat tip: Aussiemagpie.)

POLICE arrested more than 100 people during disturbances on the fringes of the Paris demonstration against a new youth jobs law, according to a provisional police count.

Low-level clashes were continuing to take place in the Place de la Republique, the end point of the march in the northeast of the capital.

Police and union marshals intervened after a gang of youths stole mobile telephones and cameras from people taking part in the protest.

Earlier masked youths smashed the windows of a cafe and tried to mug people near the starting point of the march at Place d’Italie, in the south of the city.

Interior Minister Nicolas Sarkozy earlier warned that gangs from the Paris suburbs could infiltrate the demonstration.
