    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.

      I know that a kid being shot for refusing to comply is an everyday occurrence for Americans, so nothing. But here it’s, if anything, a dangerous precedent, and people would rather make it loud and clear that they don’t want authority holders to start acting like cow-boys.
