WOW! Looks a lot like I had a major finger/keyboard malfuntion there.

I say we give them a temporary visa to stage a protest against our speed cameras and then let them go back.

Now you're in favor of outsourcing American jobs?

Going after parking meters is what got Luke (Cool Hand) sentenced to the work gang.

I wonder how many of these cameras are actually used in the identification of individuals in terror attacks? If so, I have mixed opinions about their destruction.

The last time that the French people really got pissed off, heads rolled. Usually, they just get a little bit mad and surrender to the nearest German.

“Some protesters feel speed cameras are solely a revenue-generating measure which takes money from the poor.” That is all that they are, a revenue generating thug boot of tyranny.

Tools. They had to use rocks, .22 cal rifles/pistols are hard to find there.

“wilful damage was a threat.”

As if the yahoos in the French government care.

The biggest threat is Macron. He is building a country for himself which is a threat to all citizens, including yahoos in the government.

Once they are done with France we should give them visa’s to start over here.

I’m going to have to watch that movie again...haven’t seen it for at least 20 years, and it was extremely well done.

WRT to the yellow vests, they’ve pretty much all broken laws already...so why not do more, the penalty can’t be that much higher. Besides, jailing a lot of them will only expand the riots.

Lots of Freepers owe French men a serious apology.

Meanwhile in the USA where are the monster protests? And in some places there are new gun laws that are a complete attack on the 2nd amendment.

I think they’re beyond gone, I’m afraid.

Since the World Wars....they have an attitude of..”Well, nevermind.”

A little bit of freedom for the appearance of safety?

If cameras are for public safety then by all means, put them everywhere! For the children. And with Alexa in the home, why not monitor homes for burglary, home invasion, spousal rape, incest, dog beating and impure thoughts !!

Well, as long as they don’t shoot the camera operators.

No offense...but how’s that working out?

Terrorists have been known for years and they do NOTHING.
