This is what happens when people become accustomed to free fairy skittles from the govt. Start taking them away and tell them to adjust to the realities of life, and they’ll throw fits like toddlers.

British holidaymakers braced for half-term travel chaos as France introduces petrol rationing

Read more: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1322846/France-riots-Petrol-rationing-introduced-holidaymakers-braced-chaos.html#ixzz135xMSpnN

Union official Charles Foulard said: ‘The action is a disgrace because it took place in the middle of the night when the number of protesters was relatively small.’

Mr Foulard also complained that workers had been ‘requisitioned’ to help restart operations at Grandpuits.

An emergency decree, known as a requisition, can force strikers to return to work under threat of prosecution if there is a threat to public disorder.

The government is particularly keen to restore the country’s fuel supply before the All Saints school holiday, which starts today, but some 12 refineries remain blockaded, or subject to mass strike action by workers.

Students who haven’t done one lick of work yet are rioting about raising the pension age from 60 to 62.

Good grief.

If this were to happen in America what would be a better strategic move by every American citizen? If we were to face the same situation we MUST go all out shutting down the Federal Government, BEFORE they start drafting our sons and daughters to be cannon fodder against us. Obama does indeed wish for Civil War II in America, if we see his seeds being thrown upon fertile soil its our duty to burn them before they take root.

Notice just how many YOUTH are involved in the rioting? They’ve a long way to go before they get any kind of pension. So, what’s their beef?

Typical anarchist Left machine at work.

To borrow a phrase, The government that has the power to give you everything has the power to take it away too.

The folks in the Gendarmerie nationale are not anyone you want to mess with.

The French Government has no real choice but to start knocking heads. Or circle the drain as debt destroys their Nation.

Here’s how to bring real control...
1. Expel all foreign students (if only temporarily).
2. Expel all arabs and muslim with visas and passports (if only temporarily).
3. Give the ultimatum that there will be a 24 hour “right of way” to clear the streets. After the 24 hours, anyone on the streets during another 48 hour (or longer) curfew will be shot if they show signs of resistance or assemble in groups.
4. Announce that socialism has failed and Marxism is dead, and the country will begin switching back to a free market society.
5. Announce that the best way people can provide for themselves is to begin bartering with each other, with currency, goods and services.
6. Announce that all goods and services will be taxed at a flat tax rate of no more than 18% for a period of ten to twenty years.
7. Tell people they will have to learn to care for themselves and their families.
8. Ask the people to pray, for deliverance from the evils of socialism.

The communists have rioted in France since the 1840’s. The government ought to put a final end to it. The only good anarchist is a dead one.

The problem wit these people is that most of those organizing this have no long-term plans for France whatsoever.Especially amongst the Socialist crowd and those coming from that most Augustinian district the B-13.

As far as they’re concerned they will loot France and bring it to its knees and they will doing the Anglo-saxon world a favor in the process.The problem with that logic is that there are plenty in the pretty-sphere who will do exactly the same in the States,the UK or Canada.

Again it is it their retirement and they want it now,so they can opt out of life.Which is fine by me but I don’t see why you have to bribe them for them to stay off the streets.

Rioting amongst the youth is because it is a disenfranchised population taught by teachers who again don’t see any kind of future for France.They have a sense of frustration at a society they don’t understand,so they automatically lash out at authority figures.

They’re not going to keep this up forever because the youth will eventually realize they’re being used and there is no actual reward for risking their necks.And most of the union workers are going to realize their putting their jobs at risk.

It is like any street fighting really,you might get some sense of accomplishment from the first few nights of running around like an idiot.I am sure a lot of them see this Anarchy is something more long-term and more friendly and more real then their lives that seem all but pointless.

In real life that doesn’t actually work out.

Deploy the rough, tough soldiers of the French Foreign Legion armed with stilettos and garrotes into the streets of Paree. Find Peter Lorre and Sydney Greenstreet for deep-cover spy work. These guys aren't to be fooled with.

After the Commie revolution is squelched, we'll meet at midnight at Rick's Place on the Left Bank for a glass of wine, some zither music.....and a chorus or two of La Marseillaise.

“Elite French Military Unit” is some sort of oxymoron, isn’t it?
Like “jumob shrimp,” or “military intelligence?”
