There's a word to describe political and class apathy like this, it begins with A but I forget. Either way it perfectly describes this.
Macron is literally grenading protesters

disgusting
The reason France has these protests is because the tolerance of them is intertwined with the legitimacy of the French state.
Andrew Parker
Decent point, but I'm not saying the protesters have a right to defense just that Macron is escalating the violence like a complete tard. He's either going to have to go full fascist or book it to the US at this rate.

So what else is he going to do, let the rioting continue until maybe the rioters at some point will grow tired of being allowed to loot, riot and destroy with near impunity? Step down and send out the message that election results can be nullified by not even 5% of the people going out and setting cars alight? Give in to the yellow vest demands and thereby recognize rioting as a force that overrules the decisions made by the French government?
Not that I pity Macron though, he's reaping the results of human rights lawyer, atrocity spectacle liberalism, the "european values" he himself seeks to set for all european countries.

Based. The rabble should be gunned down

Yeah the protests are ironically brought on due to liberalism which Macron is saying he stands for. But the man's literally setting himself up to falling down even harder on the stairs.

It is almost like the gilets jaunes is a diverse movement of people.

1) macron isnt using any 'fascist panzer grenadier squads' or whatever, dumb retard picked a flash grenade from the ground to throw it back, if it was a live grenade it would crater ~15 protesters not just 10% of 1 hand
2) if macron brought full might of the french (nuclear) armed forces into this, the protests would end in a day, protesters are still treated with kiddy gloves
3) combat rules are extremely simple and no amount of moralism can change them, think of changing the rules of gravity through moralism
formally recognized, uniformed and recognizable combatants using symmetric tactics are usually treated as per geneva convention: you dont shoot the medics while they work in the field, you go easy in the rear, you do not massacre the cooks and mechanics and logistic battalions and medical tents in the back, you accept the white flags, you dont abuse the prisoners etc
irregulars, insurgents, commandos, guerrillas, mercenaries, terrorists, war criminals, entire recon battalions (special forces, artillery spotters, snipers, infrastructure saboteurs and explosives planters, watersource poisoners etc) all traded their human rights for their illegal tactics and guns
these people love setting up white flag ambushes, shooting medics, beheading prisoners, using child soldiers, force marching prisoners to clear minefields and test enemy fortifications, setting up military bases in dense urban civilian areas, human shields, poisoning water, abusing chemical weapons etc

Stand down, new elections for a constituent assembly, new constitution. At minimum. French republics get overthrown every few decades anyway, what makes the Fifth special?

You bootlicking fags are getting shot.
