Last night, I watched this video from about a week ago. Incredible!

I took 4 years of French in HS, so I still have a good understanding of it if not spoken too fast. (note: it was the only foreign language taught in my very rural high school)

I slowed the video down to 0.75 normal speed to verify the English subtitles. Well worth the time to watch even if you only read the subtitles!

I believe he was accidentally hit with the crowd dispersal round from the flash-ball gun.

That's a 44mm barrel - 1.7 inches in diameter.

If you watch the second video taken from behind the police, they are overheard apparently trying to cover things up.

Was there supposed to be a /sarc tag?

What is one supposed to do when your government is out of control?

Riots against govt for months. Gets shot. Im supposed to feel sorry?

Only if you are not a fan of a 25% 'Green tax'.

If you are a fan of that, carry on.

About a dozen years ago in Boston, after some sports team won whatever, and college students went wild, a pepper ball round struck and killed some out-of-state student.

Hit her in the eye region just right. Probably wasn't even a fan, just happened to be a gawker in a rowdy knot of students.

According to Wikipedia, the mfg claims the flash-ball hits with the "stopping power" of a .38 handgun.

There was a reason the Bastille was raided - it was full of arms. French Kings thought they could get away with a small guard because no one was armed.

A fireman who joined France’s Yellow Vest protest movement


Joining a protest movement that has become increasingly violent can be hazardous to one’s health.

I don’t think the Fire Fighters are going to take very kindly to this.
