      I’m all about hating on the French, to a a concerning degree even, but those fuckers protest like nobody else…the world would be a slightly better place if citizens everywhere got as easily pissed at their government and their employers as the French.

      I would argue the police in America are way too aggressive. People have a right to protest

      You really think its just about food? If you can’t see how a hot heavy metal barrier could be a useful thing to keep between you and riot cops, you know nothing about protesting.

          The french have firmly established that peaceful protests are only their first step and they have a long history proving their willingness to take it further.

          They can afford to have a protest like this because they are lucky in that their government is still scared of them. This is just a warning protest.
