I like it. I can see the guitars and peace signs.

I’m surprised local LE in Paris doesn’t have a paramilitary SWAT team. Seems to me this sorta thing happens in the US and you’ve got not just SWAT teams but pissed off citizens taking up arms to protect their property.

We are on the edge of a precipice.

It’s like Chicago, 1968, only worse.

Interior minister threatened Wednesday to send in paramilitary police to stop rioting on the fringes of protests against raising the retirement age to 62.

The U.S. Government will attempt the same thing here, because they've looted and robbed very programs they set up.

All while the political elite give themselves pay raises and increase their lottery style government retirement pensions.

Can someone explain what the French “paramilitary” is?

I have seen them. They don't dress like the police. They don't dress like the military. They seem to be a separate force. And they have the best weapons. Full auto rifles and anti-tank shoulder fired stuff.

Can someone educate me?

Just send in the French Legionaires. Rioting will end, it won’t end pretty, but it will end.

I fail to understand the point of the French strikes.

Over here in Sweden, we are critical of our government too, but we don’t view ridiculous strikes as a solution to anything.

What do unions and their manifestations actually accomplish?

In what way have unions contributed to my life?
