Another good reason for leaders to not give the population a reason to protest. I remember during the BLM protests, trouble makers were setting off fireworks in the middle of crowds. At least one of those shits had their roman candle thrown back into their car before it went off in a crowd.
Clockwise from top left: firefighter extinguishing a burning car in Paris; police in Perpignan; barricades in front of the protestor-occupied UR2 campus in Rennes; protestors atop the Monument à la République; student protestors gathering in Bayonne;
Completely unaware about the difference. Been to Marseille and Paris once. Care to explain why is it different? Is Marseille more bougie or less than Paris?
All i know is i paid like 50 eur for a fish in Marseille and it was absolutely worth it
Usually Marseille demonstrations are more peacefull. Tradition and habits is to start in the morning then do other things in the afternoon.
With more sensitives places in Paris, protest turn violent quickly because of scared and hatefull cops (a dangerous combo). Also it is after lunch peoples are full of energy (personal hypothesis).
And yes you come in Marseille for soccer and stay for the fishes.
I've never been to Marseille but it has a reputation of being where the mafia is, gang clashes and all, and where there are more of the poor suburbs than Paris. It's also where we see more frequently news of groups of asshole kids using mortars on cops - Paris is not far behind, especially during riots like this one, but around Marseille it just happens sometimes when a kid gets shot because of gang rivalries and cops response with raids blasting doors in apartment buildings because they decided someone lived there. It's also where guns get around, which it doesn't much in Paris or its poorer suburbs, hence the gang problem. A few years ago there was also an incident where firefighters got ambushed there, that one was pretty bad.
I figure actually living there is not close at all to this reputation, but gang shit does happen there.

Socialist country btw
This is as peaceful as a response to cops maiming children can and should be.
The french are so fucking based
Take some notes US.
Actually, the protests were largely peaceful. But they are so big overall, that even the usual percentage of hooligans amounted to a serious force.

This is a country where "no Kings" actually meant something
Looks like the government has stumbled into the "find out" side of things.
in any different country yes, but for Paris this is business as usual
This comment is more funny when you known this was recorded in Marseille

fuck, then shit's real
This is what actually fighting back against the system looks like.
Seems pretty peaceful to me, the people were defending themselves against armed thugs
I thought it was peaceful until that idot with the horn ruined things
I thought that was a police horn
I love the French's political dissent
I like how several dudes just walk nonchalantly into teargas and towards robo-cops
Good
Yeah that seems pretty standard for a french protest.
BBQ's missing though
Those are kids, not unionists, that's why.
