France24 ^ | 12/8/2018 | France24

Posted on 12/08/2018 12:28:29 AM PST by caww

Paris was in lockdown early on Saturday with 'thousands' of French security forces braced to meet renewed rioting by "yellow vest" protesters in the capital and other cities in a fourth weekend of confrontation.....

The Eiffel Tower and other tourist landmarks were shut, shops were boarded up to avoid looting and street furniture removed to avoid metal bars from being used as projectiles.

About 89,000 police were deployed across the country.

No that photo was from last week......ya have to be careful with photos because the news agencies use old ones in order to support whatever bias they have.

"You shall not pass!".. Police have detained hundreds of people under 'suspicion of intent'

to commit violence, destruction, or vandalism..if they were carrying or wearing gas masks,

carrying bats or anything that could be used as a weapon...

I have worked with folks from France. Much can be said. They can drive anyone crazy. But in my experience nothing speaks of the French more than their passion. Admittedly, they interpret things differently than some of us. However, in principal it is about Freedom. That passion has never died.

Viva La France! Viva La Freedom

See the video here. But Be With Us

I heard some police joined them, but I don’t know enough. Just watched some of the rioting yesterday, and got the impression that I was looking at typical Marxist rioters. Other, earlier days, it may have been different.
