A 28-year-old Frenchman has been sentenced to six months in jail after he published a Facebook post attempting to organize a ‘Yellow Vest’ blockade of a local petrol refinery, according to local reports.
Hedi Martin was arrested in Port-La Nouvelle, southern France on January 3, shortly after publishing the post on Facebook, la Dépêche reports. In his post, Martin called for a ‘Yellow Vest’ blockade of the petrol refinery in the coastal town, urging people to “stand up to the CRS [riot police],” according to WSWS.
State prosecutors noted video footage of Martin on his Facebook page at several Yellow Vest protests in the region, and criticized him for allegedly resigning from his short-term contract at a chocolate factory to “spend between four and seven hours every day” demonstrating.
The state prosecutor had reportedly sought a harsher penalty of two years imprisonment and a three-year protesting ban. However, the fact that Martin had not actually committed any violent acts, but rather “participated in a violent movement,” saw his sentence significantly reduced.
The arrest and sentencing come on the heels of French President Emmanuel Macron’s efforts to crack down on the surge of protests and violent riots, which have now rolled into their ninth week, spreading across the country from the capital.

French Revolution part Deux
Democracy no longer exists in the EU. Their votes don’t count. Now, protest is illegal. They give up customs and freedoms so as not to offend invaders. And Germany is going to be in charge of an EU army.
Macron will now lose his head in a bloody overthrow.
Everytime something like this happens, I get on my knees and thank The Lord for our constitution.
And to think that Ruth Vader said she believes ours isn’t the best.
And everytime I was in Europe and they told me that they had equal rights to us, I had to remind them that they have to get permission to speak their mind. Permission isn’t a right, even when it’s granted.
I’m sure that the identities of the “state prosecutors” has been noted.
“And Germany is going to be in charge of an EU army.“
That didn’t work out all that well for them the last time, and they had a bigger and better army.
So protesting is now illegal. No right of assembly - nor of speech as he was only calling for assembly thus exercising his right to free speech.
Of course we know there is no 2nd amendment in any European country. Now we clearly see there is no real equivalent to the 1st amendment either - at least in France.

It all depends on what the police and the army will do. If they go over to the Yellow Vests, then Macron might well end up like Ceausescu did.
But if I had to bet, I’d bet that the police and the army will stay loyal to the French Deep State.
Bring back “Le rasoir National”
> Bring back “Le rasoir National” <
I think that “Le rasoir National” will come back, eventually. And when did does come back, the people dropping the blade will be France’s new rulers, the Muslims.
Storm the “Bastille” and demand his release!
More proof that government is the enemy of a free people.
