How things have changed over the weeks, they are now the instigators of violence. Marchers have reported that the tear gas is more toxic. Reports that the head a face are being deliberately targeted, some marchers ending up with devastating eye injuries. Even the reporters on the ground are not immune to injury.
Makes me think, are they some kind of mercenary force, or even a military security force?
Nobody would know, they are so heavily clad in black, the faces obscured.
All thanks to Macron, a disgusting creation of the neocons, full of contradictions, no loyalty, he has sold France and the French down the river for a useless nihilistic ideology, that is of no benefit to the world of ordinary people, the ones, that in reality run the country.
Is it any wonder he supports a coup in Venezuela but is blind to what is right on his doorstep in France.
