RE: France to Ban Unapproved Protests in Effort to Stop Yellow Vests, Netherlands Cops Arrest Yellow Vest Wearing Mother with Baby in Carriage

in #politics6 years ago

As usual, plenty of grey area here. When the mob begins destroying shops and cars and such, they are most likely hurting normal hard working people, as well as neighborhood people who depend on some of those shops. At least that is what I see many times when you see protests (riots) happen here in the U.S. Many times the shops owners are not the elite of the world, just hard working people who had some money to back their efforts to have their own business and in many cases bright enough to employ others with their vision.

I often wonder how often law enforcement is infiltrating the protestors and stirring up the mob as they perhaps begin pushing the violence. This is not unheard of for law enforcement to do in undercover assignments.

At the end of the day, one has to ask what the next step for them will be if those who are willing to protest a dying wage choose not to ask permission from those they are angry at for the privelage saying please stop starving me and mine. It's like passing another gun law thinking that someone whose plan is to use one illegally will decide not to because they might get into trouble for having a gun.

I read earlier today that the vests in France are calling for a run on the banks to cause a collapse of the Euro. Watching with curiosity at the establishments next move to protect the bankers and elite criminals of the world who squeeze for a little more each year.

Sort:  

Yes, it's wrong to destroy the property of others. It's pathetic what people do just to try to make themselves feel "cool", I dunno. When sports teams lose, riot, destroy. When sports teams win, riot, destroy. People act lower than non-human animal consciousness. It's devolving.

Law enforcement surely infiltrates many of them, instigating violence to give negative reputations nd bring the clamps of government down. COINTELPRO ;)

Yeah, government is flawed in it's measures to attempt to bring order. It ends up being just about control and domination of the populace. Gun control for legal guns will make people who get illegal guns... magically stop... LOL.

A run on the banks would collapse the monetary system. Anywhere. 100%. We live in a fantasy unreality of preposterous manipulation.

It has become apparent over the years that a favored tactic of the powers that be to deal with peaceful protest is to seed the crowd with "agents provacateur" who begin the smashing of things in order to incite violence. These chaos agents are often undercover police.
