The French riot over just about anything, but I am curious what would happen if they suddenly jacked fuel taxes here.
It's not only about fuel taxes. That's what the fake news who is reporting about it telling the world. They're pissed about open borders (no go zones), censorship and other stuff also. They've had enough. Even the police are showing some solidarity and the fire fighters also. The deep state is losing its hold on France.
For those who don't know, "No go zones" are areas that the migrant caravans (open borders/Muslims) took over. These areas are run by them/Sharia law and even 1st responders dare not enter. So if you're a legal French citizen and your area was taken over and needed police/fire/ambulance, no one is coming to help. And good luck being a non-believer in these areas. German chancellor Markel just admitted a few months ago that they do exist in Germany as well (allowed open borders). But if you "google" the towns that are affected, the German police have classified all locations. And since German has strict gun laws, citizens in these areas are buying medevil weapons and black market guns (BBC story last year).
I had a friend go to Paris earlier this year and was asking a local for directions. He was given a right hook type of route, instead of straight from point A to B. He asked why and said that area is a no go zone.
Trump warned the EU about the migrant caravan via twitter, but no one listened and the fake news called him racist again.
