Coming from Limoges, things fell apart badly mainly due to police actions :

  • a group went apart tried to go and block the highway

  • the police decided to tear gas everyone, including the peacedul protest with families, babies and elderly persons

  • people where told by the police to stand back and to go to townhall neighborhood

  • building was unprotected, though it's usually is in case of protests

  • despite a few plainclothes police officers, no action were taken when first fires started

Not to be a conspiracy theorist, but everywhere in France things were so badly handled by the gov and police that it look almost intentional.

    He's full of shit, please do not trust any word coming out of his mouth. Last week he wanted to create a dragon ball z theme park with saudians, but didn't have the copyright stakeholders approval.

    Meanwhile, he cut by 80% the already tiny envelope for school renovations and push for far right financial backing by French banks, lied about firefighters allocations... And so on and so on.

    PS: we have Paris Games Week already btw

    Take a chance with Signal app. Most of the time people have it already or will be willing to, as it's reaally close to what they're used to. So far converted family and some friends, am working on remaining. Damn youngsters and their Snapchat, damn millenials with their meta
