Here are incredible scenes from the YellowVest protests in France.
It appears that the YellowVest protesters are gaining the upper hand against the French police.
Of course, the question is, as always in these protests/revolutions: What do the protesters want to replace the current government with? Answer: Probably not liberty.
People are really angry with the cops who usually from the protests I've been to in Paris are the ones who start the conflicts.#GiletsJaunes #ActeXVIII#Acte18#MacronDemissionpic.twitter.com/uzrcOz6hfR— Luke Rudkowski (@Lukewearechange) March 16, 2019

the situation is getting out of hand, to say the least, as innocent bystanders are threatened by the fires that were started today. #GiletsJaunes #yellowvest#ActeXVIII#Acte18#MacronDemissionpic.twitter.com/kEb0Ag0J8v— Luke Rudkowski (@Lukewearechange) March 16, 2019
I think today we have an example of what happens when a state tries to violently suppress protests where the reaction of the people will match the states. #GiletsJaunes #yellowvest#ActeXVIII#Acte18#MacronDemissionpic.twitter.com/ESDcSeJq7S— Luke Rudkowski (@Lukewearechange) March 16, 2019
it's important to note that there has been more arson and looting then what I have previously seen during the #YellowVests protests. #GiletsJaunes #ActeXVIII#Acte18#MacronDemissionpic.twitter.com/rgATRVirMc— Luke Rudkowski (@Lukewearechange) March 16, 2019
-RWpunching medics who are trying to help wounded people are just some of the events that lead to more fighting in the streets. #GiletsJaunes #ActeXVIII#Acte18pic.twitter.com/lgyrE2XvlJ— Luke Rudkowski (@Lukewearechange) March 16, 2019
UPDATE
Someone should tell Macron that these are extremely poor optics as his country is in chaos. #GiletsJaunes #YellowVest pic.twitter.com/j5I48QlRzf— Luke Rudkowski (@Lukewearechange) March 16, 2019
Possibly the Yellow Vests want the invasion of their country to stop. Invasions are usually an act of war, but in this case the invasion was invited by their own ersatz rulers.
ReplyDeleteNormally one abhors an invasion because, among other reasons, it will destroy one's homeland. But if these pictures are accurate, the Yellow Vests are themselves destroying their homeland. That's just awkward logic.
DeleteBesides the yellow vests who are burning the whole country, who invaded?
Delete@Napster, I'm confused. Wouldn't Libertarians welcome invasion? Free movement of people and all.
DeleteRobert What?, there may indeed be some libertarians who have that view, but my brand of libertarianism does not favor free movement of people, except across unowned land, nor state management of borders, but rather private enforcement of private-property borders.
