The French government expects the Gilets Jaunes (Yellow Vest) protests in Paris this weekend could be more violent than ever, despite President Emmanuel Macron buckling on fuel tax hikes.
The Élysée Palace, seat of President Emmanuel Macron, announced to French media they are expecting “great violence” on Saturday as Yellow Vest protestors have announced “Act IV” of their nearly four-week-long protest against the Macron regime that was initially sparked by a rise in fuel taxes, franceinfo reports.
According to the Élysée, they expect “a hard core of several thousand people” to arrive in Paris on Saturday with the intent to “break and kill."

Nope. Just look around at all the blue States and cities. Their rulers and parasitic underlings would be happy to do so if it meant crushing their opponents (that's us). The media would be their cheering section.
“When the Deep State finally makes its move on Trump you KNOW that we’re going to have to do the same thing, right?”
Not looking forward to it, but what the hell, Let’s get it over with.
The sooner the European Caliphate is established, the sooner the we get down to the real business of a religious war.
I would say you are being prudent and sensible.
Whatever your own "Plan B" and "Plan C" might be, I take it that it will not depend on or assume goodwill from the Police and other Government officials.
As others have said, "the people who are the greatest threat to your life and liberty all live within five miles of you".
Heh... so, Macron, how about lecturing us on what is and isn't patriotism again? OUT! RESIGN! Thanks rktman.
I'm with you bud, but judging by the comments on this site over the last ten years, I doubt more than 20% of Freepers will muster up when the bugle sounds.
Yet Gideon won with 300 men! Sometimes there may just be too many!
Actually on FB their event notice says they plan to overthrow and this will be the final protest.
Lotsa popcorn needed. I support ALL citizens who have the courage to fight tyrannical governments. Are you not American?
Or did you just miss out on our history?

It’s not just freepers.
That's a wanton insult, if ever I heard one. It's not that I missed out on history, but that I'm all too familiar with it. There's a huge difference between sympathizing with the sentiments of the mob and understanding that mob action almost never leads to anything positive. By the time it reaches that pass, it's usually too late.
The American Revolution wasn't a mob assault on an existing order, but a structured war between two governments, predicated (on the American side) on the institution of rights that had been unjustly usurped ... a principled stand, unlike the current French mob, which is upset because its pockets have been raided, and would be just as content with any tyranny, so long as it tyrannizes in a manner seen as favorable to its own peculiar wants.
The current French mob, just FYI, has submitted a list of demands. Among them - France First. More jobs. 20% tax cut for the middle class. Stop immigration. Reject the UN mandate for immigration. No govt subsidies for the press.
They also have plans which they have made public.
I guess that Boston Tea Party was a big mistake. I also guess when it gets tough here you’ll be home in your easy chair. Freedom is fought for by people who are out on the streets. Every American should be supporting these French yellow vests.
guess Macron shouldn’t have criticized Trump at the WWI celebration.
Hope is not a method.
Yellow vest leader says tomorrow is the finale. I will be glued to twitter and actually there are already things happening.
Some hs students were supporting the yellow vest movement and were forced to kneel outside with their hands on their heads by police. That video has been getting around and now teachers and university students are planning to join the protests.

Oops! When I posted, I thought it was Saturday already. The fault of staying up all night reading and posting on FR too often.
“The American Revolution wasn’t a mob assault on an existing order, but a structured war between two governments...”
But it didn’t start out that way. The Continental Congresses came AFTER there were riots in the streets and uprisings in the countryside and backwoods. The protests began over taxes, which hit everyone’s pocketbooks, only after wards did the colonial political leadership come to see that those taxes, and the measures to collect them, and the response of the British Gov’t to resistance to collecting the money, were an infringement of the rights of self-government which they had hitherto enjoyed. That is why the Tea Parties (which took place in more than just Boston) began, even though taxed tea cost less than smuggled tea without taxes.
I like to think that, if I were French, I would be wearing my yellow vest right now.
The F-word, Frexit, is being used by some of the Gilets Jaunes. Watch the EU PTB’s freak factor rocket up exponentially.
