“About 100 were detained, many for carrying dangerous objects like fireworks or clothing that could be used as protection in clashes with police.”

They are arrested for carrying clothing?

"The social welfare net we grew up with is gone".

Predictable. Give up a little freedom for security, and you get neither in return. The government spends the tax money on something else.

‘The greatest enemy is one that has nothing to lose’...

A monster in the making.

Maybe it will develop into a pan-European riot.

Maybe this is why Frau Merkel was making noises about an "European Army" - probably to serve in a capacity much like OMON does in Russia.

There are two distinct groups involved here, tax protesters who are mainly working class stiffs, and street hoodlums salivating at any excuse to torch cars and cause mayhem for kicks, and the media is doing its best to ignore this distinction as if it's all just one big faceless riot.

Meanwhile, the British sit on their Fat Soccer balled asses and let May Rape the Country.

How much of the problems are cause by the sudden influx of “migrants?.

[MarMema]

Canada wants in.

[ Are you listening, EU leaders? ]

May and Merkel couldn’t be reached for comment.

[MarMema]

Most of the signs I saw were about the UN mandate signing coming up next week in Morocco. In all countries. So yep, immigration.

[MarMema]

Belgian government is about to quit over Marrakesh.

Help me out with a bit more info if you can. Thanks in advance.

“mainstream politicians and the voters who put them in power.”

Really? I’m not convinced the voters put them in power. These voters, in particular, seem to feel powerless at the voting booth, thus the protests.

[familyop]

Mabye we should all get some of those vests. Hmmm... On second thought, maybe we Americans should wear camouflage vests instead. ;-)

I’ll check it out. Thanks.

[MarMema]

Got those. Heck my dogs have a few too.

"How much of the problems are cause by the sudden influx of “migrants?."

Shhh.... That'd be racist.
