You know, they need to keep protesting. Double down, even. Make the authorities need to arrest 500,000 people ... just in Paris! Make them need to arrest EVERYONE in France. Then take NO PLEA DEALS. Make them try EVERYONE, FULL trial, FULL discovery, FULL jury deliberations, THEN FILE APPEALS.

Overwhelm the system.

they should also sue in the EU court system for everything they can think of. Overload the very systems the elite created.

French govt requires all car owners to buy one and keep it in the car for when the vehicle is disabled etc. It signifies that these are all middle class people out there protesting taxes.


It's even a bit stronger than that - from a UK driving organization for visiting France in your car -

Reflective jackets (one for each occupant, these must be kept inside the vehicle within easy reach)

With a yellow jacket for each occupant there are certainly plenty to go around...:^)

Guess the progressives figure that it is another way to ‘tax’ people and figure the vest is the same as having a life jacket on a boat or smoke detector in a home.

Wonder if the GOVT ‘gives away’ the vests?

We sometimes have firefighters going to neighborhoods and checking homes for smoke detectors and give them away on occasion(?).

Don't these ignorant peasants realize their betters are only trying to protect the planet from being destroyed by Climate Change?

Have these selfish serfs no vision for what is really needed...?

“Reflective jackets (one for each occupant, these must be kept inside the vehicle within easy reach)”

The overloads never considered these required things would become a symbol of rejection of them. LOL LOL LOL!!!

Observing the continuous unintended negative consequences that befall ptoggies is great entertainment. Never ceasing. LOL!

Hey, if you don’t approve of the socialist destruction of your country then they’ll jail you. What could go wrong with that?
