It's that time of the year again here in France! IT'S PROTEST SEASON! Yesterday, Nov. 13, in Paris there were 2 separate massive demonstrations. One was a huge demonstrations of students protesting the over reaction of the police which caused the death of a protestor in in The Tarn last month over a controversial unneccessary dam project which will destroy thousands of hectares of forest. The other was by the police to protest the regulations that are being blamed for the plague of suicides by police who are pressured by the arrest quotas they are burdened with since the Sarkozy administration. But both protests combined paled in comparison to the protests by farmers all across France on November 7, last week, when they pelted the police with tonnes of rotten apples and sprayed government buildings with tractor pulled manure spreaders.

I love it. A spraying kaka pumper would be better for crowd control than rubber bullets - but of course American Cops love their rubber bullets.
