Police attempting to shut down an underground, curfew-busting New Year’s Eve party that drew at least 2,500 people in western France were attacked by ravers who torched one police vehicle and injured officers with volleys of bottles and stones.

Hundreds of vehicles started converging on a hangar in Lieuron, Brittany, on Thursday night to party into the new year, the regional government said on Friday. It said police were attacked when they tried to stop ravers from installing their party gear.

On Friday morning, 2,500 ravers from France and abroad were still partying, circled by a reinforced police presence, the regional government said.

We may have to leverage the natural desire of young adults to get together and party, to help get us out of a new round of lockdowns.

People that dance to electronic music at all night dance parties. I was one from 1995-2001.

A rave? Well, it has been about 25 years since the late ‘90s, so I guess now is about the time for it to catch on in France.

The new Stonewall. More doped up homosexuals rioting when their illegal operation is shut down by police.

All things considered, I think Covid would be the least of their worries.

A “rave” is just a big dance party, featuring techno music. The whole audience dances.

Citizens have had enough of this totalitarian house arrest. It the governments keep trying to enslave their people then citizens need to burn them down.

Fearpers hardest hit.....
