Impact wrote that the first people convicted in Nancy after the violence of October 17 did not correspond, according to him, to either the profile of rioters or that of far-left activists. He described individuals who were generally unknown to the justice system and integrated into society. Among them, a 53-year-old family man, a former business owner who became homeless and was trying to rebuild his life, was sentenced to four months in prison with a suspended sentence for hitting and insulting police officers. A 19-year-old apprentice received a twelve-month suspended sentence after stealing 1,250 euros worth of clothes and shoes from a previously broken-in store. He stated that it was his first demonstration and that he would not return. Impact also indicated that another young person, 19 years old, arrested while masked on scaffolding, was released. He attributed this information to Ici and L’Est Républicain. #Violences #Justice #Manifestation (translated)

Press Briefs described a rally organized on October 17 as massive, but marked by violence. The report stated that the Ministry of the Interior counted 550,000 demonstrators, compared to up to 800,000 according to the organizers, and that intelligence services had underestimated the size of the gathering by five to eight times. It compared the official figure to the 282,710 participants recorded during the record of the Yellow Vests on November 17, 2018. The report mentioned looting and damage in Paris, Lyon, and Marseille, as well as clashes near the Élysée. It also reported that a 17-year-old girl lost an eye in Mulhouse, where an investigation by the IGPN was opened, and that a 17-year-old boy had his hand severed in Saint-Étienne. In Paris, according to Press Briefs, a video showed a person on the ground being beaten by more than twenty police officers, while a protester died on Boulevard Magenta; the prefecture mentioned a cardiac arrest. Press Briefs criticized the media coverage of the rally and relayed several political statements. The report noted that Marion Maréchal Le Pen refused to distinguish between the vandals and peaceful demonstrators, that Éric Ciotti called the unrest an "intifada," and that François-Xavier Bellamy called for the imprisonment of Philippe Poutou. It also highlighted comments from Prisca Thévenot about Jean-Luc Mélenchon and his remarks about Sébastien Lecornu, who called on the French to choose their side between the law enforcement and the Republic. The report further indicated that the mayor of Marseille, Benoît Payan, denied the figure of 30,000 looters, and that an AI-generated image, presented as showing an elderly couple being robbed in Paris, had garnered nearly six million views on X. Finally, it reported that Laurent Nuñez had submitted his resignation to Emmanuel Macron, who had refused it. #France #Mobilisation #Violences (translated)

Eric.k, known as The Irradiated Radish, had supported the people who were protesting and called for them to act peacefully and watch over each other. He advised them to charge their phones, bring water, snacks, their medications and papers, notify a loved one, and set up a meeting point as well as several exit routes, due to transport disruptions and station closures he had announced. He also recommended filming important events from a distance, keeping the original files, and noting the time and place of the events. According to him, filming law enforcement officers on duty in public was legal in France. He advised saving the videos, protecting their accounts, and not posting images that would unnecessarily expose the identity of other protesters. He finally urged to film the RIO to the maximum. #Manifestation #DroitDeManifester #Soutien (translated)

Instant Foot indicated that Michael Olise had played in recent seasons without a contract with a brand and refused sponsorship offers in order to freely choose his boots, particularly the Nike Hypervenom Phantom III, which has been off the market since 2018. According to the account, Nike plans to discontinue its Phantom range by 2027 to relaunch the Hypervenom, and Olise's loyalty to this model has convinced the brand that there is still strong demand. The French player could thus become the new face of the Hypervenom, a role once held by Neymar. #MichaelOlise #Nike #Football (translated)
