Started out as a gas tax increase protest (substantial tax increase, global-warming related dontcha-know!) by the middle-class “little guy” working stiff...police got a little heavy handed then the Antifa types joined in...now chaos.

“Some 280,000 yellow vests took part in a first day of protest on November 17th, blocking roundabouts and motorway toll booths nationwide. Less than half that number took to the streets on November 24th, when a protest in Paris took a particularly violent turn after troublemakers infiltrated the event.”

"in a movement against fuel prices and high living costs" is what it says. We know Muslims have been doing that anyway. Do you know how much a gallon of gas would cost you in France? About $8.
