The city is burning and the protests have been on for a while. Haven't seen much about it for some reason.

What are they protesting?

I saw a little blurb about it on TV when I was visiting my mom, but it was probably Fox so that's probably why.

Majority of MSM don't want you to know about it, would be my most likely assumption.

They having riot over gas tax or carbon tax? If so not sure why where I live we have had carbon tax since 2008 and fuel tax to fund public transit longer than that.

Think it was a gas tax, was on my Twitter feed yesterday in the Trends section.

So these demonstrations have been going for three weeks now, with three dead, hundreds injured, and over 400 arrested. In protest of the new fuel taxes and the ever-rising cost of living.

That's what i think pushed it over the edge. I guess they have been getting heavily taxed all around

They brought the costs of fuel up to around $8 per gallon in taxes.

Macron called the early protesters to this thugs openly, and several really bad looks on police overuse of force in detaining them has created a pretty serious situation for him. I thought LePen was gonna be the totalitarian? Not Macron as he refuses to budge an inch and is about to declare martial law?

They increased diesel gas price to make people buy regular gas cars. Now they complain that diesel is too expensive and feel like Macron is not helping ''the working man''.

gotta have some form of fuel that is reasonably priced and Macron isn't helping with this one not saying it's deserved but he should do something about it instead of sitting with a finger up his ass.

They should come and live in the Bay Area then.

Not too out of the ordinary. French presidents historically always have very low approval ratings. The French are never happy with the status quo.
