Macron on the Brink: Water Cannon, Tear Gas, and Stun Grenades as ‘Yellow Jackets’ Storm Security Cordons(Full Title)
Riot police have deployed water cannon, tear gas, and stun grenades against protesters on the Champs-Élysées in Paris, France, as the “Yellow Jackets” stage their third major rally against President Emmanuel Macron’s “green” tax hikes on fuel.
The clashes on the famous avenue leading to Napoleon Bonaparte’s iconic Arc de Triomphe come as Macron is in Argentina for the G20, threatening to disrupt a planned trade deal between the European Union and South America’s Mercosur bloc over a disagreement with Brazil’s new president Jair Bolsonaro — dubbed the “Trump of the Tropics” — over a disagreement on climate change.
The globalist poster boy’s “green” policies are running into substantial opposition at home, however, with the “Yellow Jackets” movement which has united the anti-establishment left with the populist right in a loose, seemingly leaderless coalition in defence of the French working class bringing the presidency of the man who once boasted he would govern “like Jupiter” to the brink.
Over a hundred people have already been arrested, with the authorities complaining of around 1,500 “agitators” among the protesters.
“There’s a lot of incitement on social media and we are expecting excess and violence,” remarked David Michaux, of the UNSA Police union.

My prediction is that this is barely covered on tomorrows news-talkers.
Thanks goodness. Sorry for the misleading report, from twitter, and the Mirror, who got it wrong too.

France should be happy that they don’t have Ugly Americans over there ruining everything with their “Par-Lay-Voo Merry-can?”, demands for ketchup, and profligate spending habits.

As long as he doesn’t get hurt.
You knew someone was gonna say that :)
But it’s true. Especially an American in France.
But it would be fun to watch!!
yeah WTH?!?!
But I don’t have kids even though I still may.
I have a big Italian family and my nephews and nieces mean everything to me and I want to leave them a good US.
It’s like there’s NO paternal or maternal instincts in their leaders.
Yes
or they would have NEVER said
“we are expecting excess and violence,” ...
I have NEVER read that about a muslim riot.
An American version of the Yellow Jackets wil form will if and when the next Dim President takes power.

Hmmmm... I’m at a loss.... What did they do to their leaders in 1879 ???
Oh, you mean 1789.... Or really 1792-94 for the worst of the guillotine and “Reign of Terror”....

I felt unfettered and alive
There was nobody calling me up for favors
And no one’s future to decide...”
