Macron said that the riots were caused by video games (seriously). Fortunately, there are no provocative games about the Bastille.
Oh, wait. There is such a game! I’d better get on the phone, and cancel my upcoming trip to Paris.
But they’re marching to Bastille Day
La guillotine will claim her bloody prize
Hear the echoes of the centuries
Well, power isn’t all that money buys
-Rush
Obviously not fans of defund da police!
Looks like the French are not as stupid as us.
They’re not defunding and shackling the police like we did.
When King Louis XVI returned that evening from a day of hunting, one of his noblemen recounted the day’s events at the Bastille. Louis is said to have asked, “So this is a revolt?” to which his duke replied: “No, Sire, this is a revolution!”
Ooh, there’s no bread, let ‘em eat cake
There’s no end to what they’ll take
Flaunt the fruits of noble birth
Wash the salt into the earth
But they’re marching to Bastille Day
The guillotine will claim her bloody prize
Free the dungeons of the innocent
The king will kneel and let his kingdom rise
Ooh, bloodstained velvet, dirty lace
Naked fear on every face
See them bow their heads to die
As we would bow when they rode by
And we’re marching to Bastille Day
The guillotine will claim her bloody prize
Sing, oh choirs of cacophony
The king has kneeled to let his kingdom rise
Lessons taught but never learned
All around us, anger burns
Guide the future by the past
Long ago the mould was cast
For they marched up to Bastille Day
The guillotine claimed her bloody prize
Hear the echoes of the centuries
Power isn’t all that money buys
Oh!

Gosh.
Remember the good old days when some jackass would break windows and set buildings on fire and a policeman would knock a knot on his head and then drag him to jail for a few days so he wouldn’t break windows and set buildings on fire again?
Those were sure good days.
Certainly a lot of people, but keep in mind that it is still only one cop for every 50 or so ‘new arrivals’.
As I understand it some French cities have a local police force, but the majority of France is ‘policed’ by the Gendarmerie, a branch of the French military. Don’t know if they’ll be deployed to Paris today.
Where is the poster still talking about the Yellow Vests?
This should be of interest to him.
