Meanwhile, The French Are Revolting...
Amid record unemployment, even recorder youth unemployment, and politicians willingly breaking EU treaties (with apparently no consequences), it appears - just as in the US - police brutality in France was the straw that broke 'Le Camel's back. As RT reports, another anti-police brutality protest turned violent in the French city of Rennes, with masked youths and police engaging in running street battles. The unrest follows the death of a young environmental activist earlier this week. Overnight Thursday, protesters in the northwestern city lobbed flairs at police and flipped over cars, some of which they set ablaze. Police responded by firing tear gas. We hear guillotines are still cheap on ebay.
The French (youth) are revolting...
As RT reports,
A similar protest in Paris on Wednesday also descended into violence. Around 250 people gathered outside City Hall in Paris, with some throwing rocks at police and writing "Remi is dead, the state kills" on walls, The Local’s French edition reports. At least 33 people were taken into police custody following the unrest.
The protests are in response to the death of 21-year-old activist Remi Fraisse. He was killed early on Sunday by an explosion, which occurred during violent clashes with police at the site of a contested-dam project in southwestern France.
His death, the first in a mainland protest in France since 1986, has been blamed on a concussion grenade fired by police. France’s Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve, who came under serious pressure to resign following the incident, announced an immediate suspension of such grenades, which are intended to stun rather than kill.
The incident has put additional pressure on the already unpopular government of Francois Hollande, who has vowed that a thorough investigation will be conducted into the circumstances surrounding Fraisse’s death.

We'll need a sufficient sample size though.
That's what happens when citizens are prevented from organizing to go after Loyd Blankfein and Jamie Dimon.
That's what's going to happen . . . .
"That's what's going to happen . ."
Oh yeah? NOT IN USA
Back to freedom fries then?
Well there's at least 12 of them.
Good, now we can return the Chauchat rifles back for a refund before the 100 year warranty expires and let them use them.
Anti Obama crowds at the booth 6 years late. Dumas.
Those cops are lucky they don't have to deal with real men.
1964 a local guy got hit, on foot, by a train 60-70 mph.
Knocked him 45 feet. Wrapped him around a utility pole.
Train men thought he was dead.
But he only required five stiches behind his ear.
Back to work the next day.
Flash bang = skeeter bite.
I fart in your general direction.
vibrancy in action...
they smell pretty bad alriite...
Nothing smells worse than the decay of a once thriving nation, while the natives dance merrily to the song of defeat.
What is needed is a cop on every corner. That is, a cop hanging from the lamp posts on every corner.
An American, not US subject.
"A man can't threaten, rob, or kill me with impunity even if he is costumed as a clown. Why then does a badge and uniform costumed man expect to threaten, rob, or kill me with impunity?!"
dish back to the pig police what they dish to the citizens....the environmentalist was murdered by police. they should be tried for murder.
The "explosion" was a offensive grenade launched by the police.
I can't think of anything more desperate than "French Activist."
I beg your pardon but the only thing revolting about the French is their beer and St. Tropez.
Demonstrators' tip:
If the police fling tear gas cannisters at you, pick them up and fling them back. If the police fling flash-bangs at you, turn your back and cover your ears.
Pretty soon the Phallic Crusader/Duffy Duck is going to log on and exhort us to "Kill all the [Neocons/fill in the blank]".
Then that numb nutz is going to get himself banned again.
The ghetto French love buring shit and trning over cars. When I was in Paris for a month a few summers ago they burned a car or two every single night and then truned a few over just for the helpp of it. I asked a store owner about it and he said the police are afraid to go into the ghetto neighborhoods 'cause they'd be shot on sight. [BTW, the ghettoes are mostly foreign very 'culturally diverse' areas.]
Yes, they certainly are!
First surrender.
Next, revolt with "flair".
The torches are always a nice touch...

the french should be taking German lessons so they will be able to speak to their new bosses after their collapse
Here's some peaceful French demonstration to titilate and excite the small minded Francophobic readership.

Why it hasn't happened in Detroit, MI is a mystery to me.
People would rather move away rather than stand and fight.
What makes the people of Detroit different from the people of Rennes?
Maybe it is happening in Detroit but not being reported in the press?
"What makes the people of Detroit different from the people of Rennes?"
Detroit is 100% black, Rennes about 60%. That's set to rise to 90% by end of this decade.
With people around the world being subjected to chemical warfare assaults by police one has to wonder when some protestor is going to realize that there are more effective "eye for an eye" responses than just picking up the gas cannister and throwing it back at the cops. But given the growing militarization of police responses to even peaceful protests, it almost seems inevitable.
France is preparing to leave the EU .
If De Gaulle was still alive , they would never have joined .

France would be the last country to leave the EU. They can ignore any rules that don't suit them and it gives that the illusion of international influence.
Aah, the smell of burning Peugeots and Citroens in the morning.
All rioters should be shot on sight.
"Protesters"... ah, you mean MUSLIM youth???
Most likely yes, though they pay the heaviest tribute to the on going crisis till the late 70s.
Sort of another generation no future. Some search hope in religion, others lost it all together.
I'm not an apologist for their behavior in anyway though.
French unemployment is at 25% and they are protesting a dam?? Liberalism is a mental disorder.

"Liberalism is a mental disorder" LOL, those French Greens protesting against the dam would agree with your statement...
then in the whole non-US rest of the world, liberalism is the pro-business stance, based on "laissez faire", "let the economy do"
if you are commenting european politics, you have to remember that it still uses the classical definitions, not the American political vocabulary
