@Paul Quirke: The French have form, they executed almost 18000 aristocrats over a two year period. Could happen again.

@Pixie McMullen:
And if this was happening in Moscow, most protesters would have been beaten up, banged up and shot up long before now.

@The Great Unwashed: deflect, deflect, deflect, anything to say about an old woman being almost killed ?

@Pixie McMullen:
Hahaha hahaha hahaha hahaha
The bold Pixie complaining about someone deflecting.. You really should go for stand up comedy.
You are comic gold.

@Pixie McMullen: You have scant regard for the truth, Ms McMullen. The incident in which Ms Legay, the lady to whom to refer, was injured was captured on video by several sources. It is unclear from any of the footage whether she was knocked over by the police or fellow demonstrators. The footage clearly shows the police rendering her assistance. Her injuries were caused by her head striking the pavement and not a bollard after she fell. She is suffering from a suspected hairline skull-fracture. There is no question of brain-injury. The police charge took place after a group of the violent “casseurs” who have hijacked the GJ movement went on the rampage and started throwing missiles at the police and began to thrash the municipal bus-shelters. (Peter Murray, 44300, France)

@Pixie McMullen: Ms Legay, to whom you refer is a professional demonstrator. This wasn’t the first violent demonstration she has been associated with. And she wasn’t “almost killed”.

@Paul Quirke: The GJ movement actually began as a protest against the reduction of the secondary-road speed limit from 90kph to 80kph. Hardly a “progressive” cause. It has since been hijacked by violent elements from the extreme right and left who have been intent on causing as much mayhem as possible. It would be entirely misleading to suppose they only cause damage to banks. Several weeks ago I witnessed these masked and hooded “casseurs” systematically destroying the municipal bus-shelters (community property) in the centre of Nantes. Most of the original GJs have long ago abandoned the movement in disgust at the violence which has included vandalising national monuments (GJ leaders who have condemned the violence have had their lives threatened), and the demonstrations are a fraction of their original size.

@Peter O’Muiri:
Pixie likes to make up his own facts – he has a long list of form on it here on the Journal, and has quite the reputation.

@Peter O’Muiri: I`m a Mister – just shows how much you know about me

@The Great Unwashed: Here ye go, with your brand new account – explain this – It`s NOT from western media , which is probably why you deny it – if you want real western news, don“t go to western media looking for it, you will probably doubt this as Russian propaganda – but here you go anyway,
great unwashed? – you are more like the great un-educated

French President Emmanuel Macron, who many blame for the violence unleashed on Yellow Vest protesters, said he hopes one elderly protester whose head was severely injured during a demonstration gains “wisdom” over her injury.

You cast doubt on me from a brand you account, laughable –
long list of form?? – at least i have form

@The Great Unwashed: I back up what i say, you mightn`t like my links – but at least i put substance behind it, you just snipe, call names and derogate people, from a brand new account with no substance – you`re a clown

@Peter O’Muiri: PROVE YOUR VIDEO SOURCES – PUT UP LINKS TO BACK YOUR CLAIM

@Peter O’Muiri: professional demonstrator?? does that mean she deserves to be in hospital with a brain injury??
since when does being a professional demonstrator equate to nearly dying in a hospital bed?? ,

@Peter O’Muiri: You sir, are a liar, and a professional one at that – obfuscation, smoke and mirrors is your stock in trade

@Peter O’Muiri: I`ll see your Bullchit – and raise you this – prove me wrong, put up the video links you claim to see – put up or shut up

Genevieve Legay, a French anti-globalization activist, was knocked over by officers wielding batons at an unauthorized rally in Nice last week. She fell and hit her head on a metal post before being rushed to the hospital for trauma care.

The incident was widely covered in French media, and Macron predictably was asked to comment on it. His response is unlikely to sit well with the Yellow Vests: “I wish her a speedy recovery, and perhaps a form of wisdom.”

@Patrick Nolan: how`re ye pat, please point out my deflections, there`s a good lad

@Peter O’Muiri: How about this one Peter?? – care to deny this one?? translated from French –

80-year-old woman dies after being wounded by tear gas grenade

An 80-year-old woman injured in her apartment by elements of a tear gas grenade fired during the incidents that followed the demonstrations held Saturday in Marseille, died Sunday in the operating room of a hospital in Marseille, have we learned Monday from concordant sources.

Come back to me when you grow a conscience and we will have a chat

@Pixie McMullen: best way to quiet him is just to post the video you describe.

@Dave O’Keeffe: Dave, sorry , best i can find now as they are being deleted, but here you go

full report here – https://europe.infowars.com/macron-french-mayor-mock-elderly-protestor-wounded-in-police-stampede/

And thanks for not lashing me out of it and calling me a liar , i appreciate it

@Pixie McMullen: Watch the Gendarmes stand back and let no one attend her – I`m not a liar, no matter what the Great unwashed says, nor Peter who has skin in the game, how he
can wear a judicial collar in his profile and lie and denegrate others is beyond me -

@Dave O’Keeffe: Dave?? Is that a bollard or not??

@Dave O’Keeffe: Watch the other videos after it too please, nasty police state

@The Great Unwashed: Hows your making things up working out for you now ye clown?
come back and have a chat to me when you grow a set

@Pixie McMullen: your description is definitely more accurate. No point anyone calling anyone else a liar when video footage exists. Peter’s clarification that it’s unclear who she fell over is redundant anyway. She fell because of the police charging.

@Dave O’Keeffe: Thanks for that, there are other videos about from different angles which last longer, but they are getting rarer than hens teeth to find

@Vocal Outrage: They could also openly report on all the maiming, loss of limbs and eyes due to the police actions, who are indiscriminately throwing flash bombs into any crowd, even those standing on the pavements just watching

@Pixie McMullen: I’ve easily found articles upon those alright, harder to find reports on fatalities caused by the protesters, and many of those reports are American

@Vocal Outrage: These demonstrations, and the wanton destruction, violence and looting by the violent far right and far left “casseurs” in their midst have been widely covered by both the French domestic and international media. The extremists don’t particularly like this coverage, and journalists from media the extremists consider insufficiently sympathetic have been asaulted and intimidated. The only people who have been seriously injured by flash-bombs were rioters who have had their hands injured when the things detonated when they were in the act of throwing them back at the police. In any case, the demonstrations are petering out, and what we seem to be witnessing in recent violence are the wasp’s dying stings. Incidentally, the most significant damage caused by the “casseurs” in Nantes where I live was not to banks, but to the municipal bus shelters – community property.

@Peter O’Muiri: You really are some clown to believe French media on a french protest – that`s like believing RTE when they talk about Fine Gael say the country is fine and dandy – cop on to yourself, i have seen your account, you are PRO french government, at least have the decency to tell people where you stand when you pontificate to others – be genuine, put your cards on the table and be judged – let people know how biased you are, let them know you have skin in the game

@Vocal Outrage: please link those articles vocal – back it up with not just hearsay

@Dave O’Keeffe: Carbon taxes

@George O Neill: and who introduced the law? Yeah, the French government.

@Dave O’Keeffe: Law Introduced by the EU upon its members and any government who does not meet its targets gets fined so the culprit here is the the EU and remember the French people got no vote on Nice/Lisbon but opinion polls at the time were in favor of a no

@George O Neill: so the same tax law is in operation in all EU countries?
