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.

I would add a third group onto the movement...since that civic duty mandate was handed out this week in France (mandating 16-year old kids are now in some conscription service)....that has been taken in a negative way. So you also have this vast group of 14 to 18 year old school kids joining up with the street hoods and the Yellow Jackets. Potentially, as the Macron government is handing out these various mandates....they are simply creating wave after wave of new participants in the protest deal. There might be some quiet period coming up at the end of the month for Christmas....but it’ll hype back up by New Years.

It’ll be curious if this goes into other countries (suggesting a problem for the EU election in May 2019).
