Fucking preach. France was rioting for literally NOTHING. And we're losing hundreds of thousands to drugs/homlessness/no healthcare/etc.
Where the fuck are the organizers? I'm in Texas and I'm just about done w/ this shit.
Nah, they weren't rioting for nothing - they were rioting because a line was crossed.
If they let the PM push things through in that way, the battlelines will just be around a more important issue, and they'll be in a much weaker position
Cops murdering a child isn't "literally nothing", it's a very good reason to riot. Just because it happens so often here that we're desensitized doesn't make it any less abhorrent.
This is just the latest riot in france though, the french themselves riot often enough.
