"The protest movement began over fuel tax increases,.."

The Ministry of Propganda (MSM) just can't help themselves. The lies just roll from their collective tongues. It has become a reflexive auto-response, the opposite of reality.

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

He knew the job was dangerous when he took it. Every traffic sign between California and Kansas has bullet holes in it.

The way it was done was to necklace the camera with a burning tire filled with gasoline.

Trying to turn Yellow Vests into the Tea Party. It will not work.

Seems like a difficult way to go about it, on a country wide basis.

SANCTUARY REPUBLICANS

Where are you?

Where are the creative Republican Mayors who declare their Sanctuary City grants exemption from prosecution for all damage to speed cameras. Include all government cameras in the city.

Paint balls injected with permanent paint.
Paint balls with glue.

Yeah, but you know what?

They’re DOING it.

They are doing far more than we Americans are.

Paintball gun meet camera - a drive by shooting, if you will. :-)

Obviously it’s not an easy choice for them, but we should be very skeptical of news reports out of France that will now try to paint the YJs as violent Neo-Nazis.

I would not be surprised in the least that they try that, but it's too late for that, I think.

If they had done that from the start, then they may have gotten some traction from it.

Besides, jailing a lot of them will only expand the riots.

Absolutely.

If the French government tries to come down hard on these folks, the whole country will blow up.

There's enough unrest and protests now just over little things. If they're that riled over taxes etc, wait until someone gets shot and killed or mass arrests happen.

Starting to crack down and jailing them will be like throwing gasoline on a fire.

Never thought I saw the day when I would be proud of the French. I’m hoping we could be more like them.

I hear you.

It gives me hope for our country.

If the French can rally themselves to do it, as far gone as they are, then we can too.
