Paris in lockdown as France braces for new anti-Macron riots...
France24 ^ | 12/8/2018 | France24

Posted on 12/08/2018 12:28:29 AM PST by caww

Paris was in lockdown early on Saturday with 'thousands' of French security forces braced to meet renewed rioting by "yellow vest" protesters in the capital and other cities in a fourth weekend of confrontation.....

The Eiffel Tower and other tourist landmarks were shut, shops were boarded up to avoid looting and street furniture removed to avoid metal bars from being used as projectiles.

About 89,000 police were deployed across the country.

From Wikipedia.

Phosgene is the chemical compound with the formula COCl2. A colorless gas, in low concentrations its odor resembles freshly cut hay or grass.[6] Phosgene is a valued industrial building block, especially for the production of urethanes and polycarbonate plastics. However, it is very poisonous, and was used as a chemical weapon during World War I, where it was responsible for 85,000 deaths.

The French love socialism, free stuff. They are now out there demonstrating about the high cost in taxes required to pay for all that free stuff.

Their answer: Lower gas taxes and fix the cost of public utilities. And find someone else to pay for the all important Save the Planet initiatives.

But there is no someone else and the Fight Climate Change Movement is one of the great scams of the 21st Century.

My bet: In the short run nothing will happen that isn’t paid for by Government borrowing. In the long run some handsome disciple of Karl Marx will charm the French into voting him to office forever.

“...a report that the police have resorted to stronger gas and they are using phosgene...”

Do you have a link to that report?

Did you notice that the French protester malcontents went from “The Yellowjackets” (badass, aggressive wasps s with a nasty stinger) to “The Yellow Vests” (a dull item of clothing suited for crossing guards).

Media characterization is deliberate, folks.

Service jobs, or what I call value added jobs, do not create wealth. Manufacturing CREATES wealth.

storming the government you voted in isn’t really a great approach to things.

How can you say that? LE Pen got a huge percent of the vote. The Yellow Jackets are the people that live in exo-burbs and rural areas. They drive cars and take care of themselves. Like in the US, those are are conservatives.

Those are not the French Special Riot Police. Those are not even regular, uniformed Gendarmes. They are not even in uniform, they are identified as police by armbands. Some are wearing blue jeans and tennis shoes. What is going on here?

Why aren't Americans doing this, one wonders?

I have wondered that myself. My Confederate ancestors would have seceded by now.

Lorry: British term for truck.
