After chairing a crisis security meeting, the French president claimed they
were copying violence from games that had “intoxicated” them.

He called on parents to keep troublemakers off the streets before blaming
social media for the tumult and unrest since Nahel M, 17, was killed by police
in Nanterre on Tuesday for driving away at a police stop.

The head of state said that about a third of the people arrested over three
nights of rioting were “young, or very young”.

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


“We’ve seen them – Snapchat, TikTok and several others – serve as places
where violent gatherings have been organised, but there’s also a form of
mimicry of the violence which for some young people leads them to lose
touch with reality.

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