[QUOTE="Dale00, post: 3184447, member: 688"] Exactly what is happening in France we can only try to guess. Our sources of information are all biased. Mainstream media is going for the flashy big story - rioting in Paris and vehicles burning. But what is the broader story and the reasons behind the riots? Nothing of substance from the mainstream media as best I can tell. Pro Yellow Vest sources are using the internet to report that: [INDENT]Protest are occuring everywhere both rural areas and smaller cities- primarily road blockages Most protests are peaceful and the police are supportive: yellow vests are very commonly displayed on the dash of their vehicles. And why shouldn't they be? They are suffering economically just like the protestors while Macron raises their taxes to please the EU, combat climate change and pay for immigrants welfare. Violence and fire setting can be attributed to two things: [INDENT]Opportunistic radicals/thugs out to stir things up Peaceful protestors who have been tear-gassed and do not like it.
