Paris police ban French ‘Freedom Convoy’ demonstrations in city, threaten prison time if traffic blocked
Departures were reported or planned in about a dozen French cities
By Bradford Betz | Fox News

    French police on Thursday banned demonstrations in Paris through the weekend in anticipation of a "Freedom Convoy" of anti-vaccine mandate protesters arriving in the capital city by Friday.

Inspired by the Freedom Convoy of Canadian truckers protesting Ottawa’s vaccine mandate, a group of about 200 protesters gathered in the southern French city of Nice Wednesday morning for a "Convoi de la Liberté" of their own. The protesters said they planned to converge on Paris before moving to Brussels, the headquarters of the European Union, to protest vaccine mandates.

Departures were also reported or planned in about a dozen other cities, with groups calling for them to converge on Paris on Friday evening and to protest there on Saturday.

The Paris Police Prefecture, which serves Paris and the surrounding suburbs, said it was prohibiting demonstrations through Monday because of "risks of trouble to the public order."

Macron and the French government have gone mad with power, sending armored vehicles to Paris, the nation's capital, to assist in their endeavors to quell a grassroots movement instead of engaging with the people they "serve."

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

I can't recall, did they take such decisive action against their moslems...........or were they just all French about their rioting.

French Police Ready Armoured Cars, Heavy Moving Equipment Ahead of Anti-Lockdown ‘Freedom Convoy’ Protest



Kurt Zindulka 11 Feb 2022

Police in Paris have deployed barricades, heavy equipment, and armoured vehicles as a Canada-style freedom convoy is set to descend on the city on Friday evening.

Earlier this week the prefecture of Paris warned that protesters in the anti-lockdown convoy heading to the French capital will be barred from entering. Those found to be blocking roads are facing up to two years in prison and heavy fines, as well as having their driving licences revoked, police have warned, in an unambiguous message to those who would dare protest against lockdowns.

Taking what appears to be a war-like footing, Parisian police have been filmed deploying armoured cars and setting up barricades in an apparent attempt to block the convoy from entering sections of the city, and even have taken to social media themselves to show off the equipment they have at their disposal to clear the streets. Again, the display of specialist trucks capable of towing large trucks, picking up cars, and clearing barricades appear an outright warning.

I have been thinking about that. So send in tankers, and pump the service station tanks dry. Quietly leave.


And don't come back until Paris is out of gas. and then, only on your own terms.

The last time the French government tried to tread on the serfs did now work out so well... they may want to rethink their position

Police officers are now breaking car windows of peaceful demonstrators in Paris, France. The government is lawless and mad with power.

@mountaineer

I may be wrong,but MY understanding is that the French Army is unionized,and if the Army Union votes to refuse to take part in stopping the trucks,there isn't a damn thing the French can do about it.

Expand that to all other supplies. Refuse to truck anything into these cities.

Just an observation, but If one was going to participate in such a protest, it might pay to drive a beater you can afford to leave smoking in the street.

Yesterday in Paris, police beat, kicked, tackled, tear gassed, crippled legs, and left peaceful protesters in serious condition for daring to challenge Macron's vaccine mandates.  Is this really about a virus?

Police arrested a protestor and landed heavily on his heel, shattering it completely.

@mountaineer

The French po-po ain't thinking too clearly about the history and the nature of the French People. Yeah,they tolerate a lot of crap,but once they get fed up with it,they tend to start chopping the heads off of every authority figure they can get their hands on.

Something on that order could be the next pandemic.

From Canada to France, Australia and various other countries, the anti-mandate protests spread. Now Israel.

NOW - Convoy of trucks and vehicles arrives in #Jerusalem, Israel's capital, to protest Covid restrictions.

This ain't even  about Covid or any other disease,anymore.

It is PURELY about our governments abusing their power because they are all pissed that WE,THE PEOPLE,are questioning THEIR authority to tell us what to do and to mandate we either do it or be punished by the legal system.

If there has EVER been a place in time to draw a line in the sand,it is NOW.
