France descends into chaos as police aim live firearms at Yellow Vest protests

French here.

I'll tell you this: take OP's title with a huge grain of salt. This weekend there were only 40 000 people in the streets, and only 800 in Paris. The movement is over.

A patrol of cops has been attacked and one of the cops had to show his gun to make the protesters run away. This is extremely well covered here in France as we saw this a lot on the news. Everybody and their moms are commenting on that. Nobody is shocked I must say. They cops did what they had to do and nobody has been shot, so it was a smart move.

This title - and so many others ! - is just massive, sensationalist clickbait and is completely off compared to the reality. People on Reddit are seeking sensationalism and this looks extremely dumb seen from France, where things actually happen. There is a reason why no French nationalist bothers reporting here - of course I'm not talking about enraged French commies spreading some bullshit from time to time.

"Yellow vests" got their 100e minimal wage increase from Macron and this is exactly what they were looking for: more welfare. Therefore the majority of them stopped. They don't give a flying fuck about nationalism. This is not the "patriots vs EU globalists" story you guys were so eager to see. Get back to reality.

Now only radical people keep protesting, along with antifas, kebabs, and commie scum. Nothing is going to happen because nothing was supposed to happen, outside of getting more welfare. Mark my words and see in one month.
