I would really say this is not simply about a gas tax, they seem pissed about A LOT of stuff.

The Carbon Tax tarted-up as a “Gas Tax” was just the breaking point. This is a reaction to a long train of abuses.

Coming up on the 30th anniversary of Ceausescu on the balcony in Bucharest.
They never learn.

My regret:
A lot of this violence is meaningful.
Yet there are recent French arrivals who are quite naturally attracted to violence, regardless of the causes; they will join in, and their thinking is utterly different.
I think it will be hard for a lot of people to seperate the background noise violence from the component of the destruction that is CONstructive.

It started as a gas tax protest. Agitators joined and ramped it up. It's taken a life of it's own now, as the violence escalates. I'm not sure who, if anyone, can control this mob at this point. It will have to burn itself out or be crushed.
This is the danger of letting Antifa commit chaos at will. The violence, at some point, could escalate beyond anything even they had planned, and take it in places they didn't anticipate.

If the French could round up ringleaders and stop this they would.

So Georgia Tech better get a new head coach soon.

I meant Antifa here in the USA. Sorry I didn’t make that clearer. As it stands, our cops stand back and let them do what they want until they disperse on their own. At some point, they may not disperse. What then? Then it’s a fight, and a big one.

The torch of Freedom is alight in Paris today. Freedom is a heady drink, intoxicating and addictive. This is the light of history. Trump is on the right side , Macron is on the wrong side. Change is coming to France and Europe—it will come to this land as well.
