Patf Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 On Thursday in Toulouse the protesters blocked the main roundabout leading to Blagnac airport. Many people must have missed their flights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolybanana Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 The strikers who are currently blocking the roads and refineries, amongst others, are not the same as the people who set light the police car with two fonctionnaires in it.They came from the banlieus and were trying to kill a policeman, in revenge, they say, for the way they are treated by the police. (This from French radio interviews).In addition, other, legitimate and peaceful demonstrations are being infiltrated by 'casseurs', criminal elements linked to the extreme left, anarchists and other groups who just want to fight the police as cause the maximum amount to damage. This includes gangs from the dodgy quartiers who want to smash, loot and kill the police, as in the first para above).Note that this kind of violence has happened in London too, though it is mainly looting and destroying property, with exceptions like the Blackbird Lees estate murder of a policeman.
