As arson, looting and destruction overwhelmed Rue Beaurepaire, some residents pleaded with rioters to stop. Others hid out of fear. Many dread a repeat.
The bar La Barrique on Rue Beaurepaire in Paris was set on fire during violence that grew out of protests on Oct. 17. Looting, burglary and other destruction also occurred on the three-block-long street.
After largely peaceful marches on Saturday, clashes broke out in the evening. But a large-scale police presence, 1,000 arrests and the rerouting of protest routes kept a lid on wholesale vandalism.
