1792, 1830, 1848, 1870
The flag and the finger have been seen before.
Some of these cases, the people had a point.

The same in every revolution.
When the US has another one, expect similar even among the “good guys”. The worst will emerge from out of the woodwork. The dogs of war aren’t particular.

Am I allowed to ship them Mossberg 500 riot shotguns like the Muslim mosque have throw our Europe? When it goes down it will be bloody, violent yet sudden. Weapons are stashed throughout Europe in mosques. Super Tuesday is coming bet the stupid whites in Europe don’t have a clue.

When it erupts. Remember both the UK and French government have about 600-700 nukes between them.

I see similarities

http://historythings.com/victor-hugos-inspiration-les-miserables-june-rebellion-1832/

The June Rebellion, also known as the Paris Uprising of 1832, took place between June 5-6, 1832. Anti-monarchist republicans in Paris began the uprising attempting to turn back the 1830 July Monarchy. During the public funeral of General Jean Maximilien Lamarque on June 5, the rebellion began. Barricades surrounding the rue Saint-Martin and rue Saint-Danis were built. This event inspired French novelist and poet, Victor Hugo, for his 1862 novel Les Misérables, depicting the aftermath of the French Revolution.

In 1830, two years prior to the rebellion, a constitutional monarchy was established by the elected Chamber of Deputies. Charles X of the House of Bourbon found himself replaced by Louis-Philippe, who possessed more liberal views than his predecessor. French republicans were angry with the new monarchy. They only saw that kings kept being replaced by new ones. Bonapartists, supporters of Napoleon Bonaparte, wanted his empire restored and those who supported the Bourbon dynasty, Legitimists, tried to find a way to place Charles X’s supposed heir, Henry, Count of Chambord, on the throne.

But before even that, France had been having economic problems for many years, especially between 1827-1832, though it had been going on since the end of the American Revolutionary War due to all the money the French spent assisting the Americans. Not only were there problems economically, but the country was also having food shortages and harvest failures, plus the cost of living was only going up, causing for an even more rigid and discontented class system.

Whenever order breaks down, even in a “good” cause, its likely more will be broken than one expects.

This sort of thing is rarely clean.

When we were protesting Marcos in the Philippines, in the 80’s, we were terrified of exactly this, and we worked hard to create order and discipline. It worked, just.

OF COURSE those burning/destroying property not theirs are leftists and Muslim imports.

Paris police said there were at least 100,000 involved. They also said there were 1,500 who were engaged in property destruction. Yeah, that’s a lot and far too many. Every sane person wants each of them to pay heavy penalty for destructive acts in this beautiful city.

But what were the other 98,500 people doing there but demanding an end to $5/gal diesel prices, half of which is TAXES, to pay for shitty roads, “green” initiatives and the “general fund”.

Just because a BUNCH of SJW/Commie/Muslim anarchists showed up to burn/deface the city...does not mean the vast majority of the protestors were negated.

Many/most want their country back. And immigration is the underlying but invisible theme that has driven this rage in them.

They just cannot say so in France.

What a bunch of LOSERS. The new arrivals riot and burn cars because Jihad is taking longer than they hoped - now that is a GOOD REASON. The price of gasoline, OH PLEASE.
