Yellow Vest Leader Calls for ‘Uprising’ After Key Activist Shot by Police.
Breitbart: A leader of the Gilets Jaunes (Yellow Vest) movement has called for an “uprising” at next Saturday’s protest, following the severe injury of one of its major figures over the weekend.
The protest last weekend, dubbed “Act XI,” saw 69,000 participants across France, with 4,000 in the capital of Paris. One of the major incidents involved prominent figure Jerome Rodrigues who was shot at by riot police with “flashball” rounds which resulted in the activist being seriously injured, facing the prospect of losing one of his eyes, Le Figaro reports.
Mr Rodrigues is a close associate of one of the leaders of the Yellow Vest movement Éric Drouet with the latter calling on members of the movement to harden their pressure on the government of French President Emmanuel Macron.
In a statement, Drouet made clear reference to the French national anthem writing, “Citoyens, formez vos bataillons!” or, “citizens form your battalions!” — a far more overtly militant stance than the movement has previously made.
“Thus, we declare the state of emergency of the people,” he said and added, “We call for an unprecedented uprising by all the means useful and necessary so that no one is a victim of these wounds of war.” more here
Shot in the ass, and you’re to blame, you give French men, a bad name.
Like it could get any worse.
A few Frenchmen still have testicles…who knew?
Ought to be better than the ‘kneel bowl’
Every time I read about that I remember these:
—“I had some friends that went to Paris over the holiday… and they said they were just viscerally embarrassed to be American.” Mika Brzezinski (January 2018)
—“She [Melania Trump] can’t even open a window at the White House,…She can’t go outside. She’s much more constrained than I am. I go out every day in Paris.” Brigitte Macron (April 2018)
Mrs Guillotine is sharpening the blades.
Ruby Ridge. Waco. Mueller.
And now, American “patriots” are going to be pantsed by cheese eating surrender monkeys.
I blame the soy. The truth is too embarrassing.
…They’re French.
Don’t get your hopes up.

Lessons taught, but never learned
All around us anger burns
Guide the future by the past
Long ago the mould was cast
But they’re marching to Bastille Day
La guillotine will claim her bloody prize
Be careful giving undying loyalty to the police.
They are the bodyguards to the people’s oppressors and should be directly targeted. I don’t feel sorry for them, they have the option to stand down and let the politicians fight their own battles but they will stand there and happily beat down the public.
Those “flash-ball” guns are essentially double barreled 44mm grenade launchers that shoot a rubber ball packing as much power as a .38 handgun.
They’re intended to be aimed at waist level or lower to avoid serious injury and death. The French police have had them for 15 or so years and are well trained in their correct use.
I’ve seen a video of the incident and it was done at very close range and shows every indication of being a deliberate head shot at the victim, it wasn’t a random shot at a crowd at a range long enough to be accidental in nature.
Interesting fact I’ve noticed about the protests – at least in Paris. They begin after lunch and end promptly at dinner time.
