@rembrandt They ca be brutal all right. You should take a look at the "Paris Massacre" of 1961 as an example. Acknowledged 40 deaths but estimates got up to 3-400 including drownings where protestors had been thrown into the Seine.
Fuck demonstrating in Paris.

Macron has a unique ability to unite people.
Against him , the left and the right seem to loathe him .
An unfortunate ability for him, given the French tendency to fight each other better than they fight invaders.
He's doing an... impressive... job.

Although reporting on it is becoming scarce the protests are continuing. I guess Macron's already terrible approval rating slipping further its time for drastic action, maybe he could negotiate some terms, step down?, maybe organise a snap election?
Ha lol. Nah lets take the 'police state'option.

I do agree with him on one point - the wearing of masks at demonstrations. Although I'm not sure this should be law, I can see where he is coming from on this - it's like arguing under a pseudonym on the internet. Your points don't deserve to be taken seriously, if you aren't prepared to present them as yourself.

@MajorRage I agree too on that..well at least in Australia. Just think France is a whole different situation now. I'd be picking the next Yougov poll would have his approval nearing 15%, figures like that you gotta think that maybe the problem isn't entirely the thousands of protesters

All other outlets seem to be towing the "motive of the knife attack is unclear" line , the daily mail may be a rag but at least they actually did report on it
