France Uses Emergency Laws to Place Climate Activists Under House Arrest

At least 24 activists who advocate for climate change have been placed under house arrest ahead of the highly anticipated United Nations talks in Paris. France used emergency laws that were implemented after the Paris shootings to arrest the green campaigners, the French government confirmed on Saturday. Earlier, the Guardian had reported the news, noting that the warrants delivered to the activists cited state of emergency laws that were imposed after 130 people were killed in terrorist attacks earlier this month.......

......It's not that the French government thinks green campaigners are tantamount to terrorists, but rather that their actions could distract law enforcement from the most important task. "These people have no connection at all with the terrorist movement, but our forces need to be totally focused on the protection of the French people," Cazeneuve added.

Overall, as the advocate of Existential cage theory I agree in concept. In reality we cage them or we end up like the people of China, Soviet Russia, Cambodia, North Korea and South America.

Drastic times. Drastic measures. Eventually, as long as we play by rules and they do not, we lose. And lose means die on a cattle car or in a camp.

Author and activist Naomi Klein, said French leaders are carrying out "a gross abuse of power that risks turning the summit into a farce."

So, you take a way the freedom of law abiding citizens? Tells me that if they can take away the rights of one group, they can take it from another.

Let’s not forget how this came about:

1) This bunch (or certainly people supported by this bunch) load up France with millions of terrorists.

2) The terrorists then do what terrorists do, which is terrorize.

3) France is forced to declare a police state to deal with the terrorists.

Hard to feel sorry for this bunch complaining about what French police are doing.

I imagine the Secret Service would probably come by and visit with me.

So invite them in for coffee, but tell them your home is private property and you don't allow guns.

They must leave theirs out in the cars, which they can't park in your driveway.

Good. They’re just income redistributionists.

The French government not allowing a crisis to go to waste.

Beware “emergency” provisions; they’re usually up to no good.

As if there was any need for further proof we've lost our collective mind, we now have "environmental politics" professors.

Good God, the world has changed under the lunatic in the White House.

“At least 24 activists who advocate for climate change”

Wait, What?

I thought the greenies advocated AGAINST climate change.

Sheldon Whitehouse hasn't stopped crying since he heard about this.

It's nice to see the tables turned on the vicious anti Science, Anti Common Sense militant greenies.
