Post: 3/2/2020

So, its been a little while since the last post. This, however, has been intentional as I have been waiting for things in the recent acts 67 and 68 to develop.

Things have been tame as of late, relatively. Violence is still a constant during weekend demonstrations but nothing more volatile than what I have previously wrote about has occurred. Last weekend, protests in Lille caught much attention and this weekend its Strasbourg that has caught the eye of the French media.

The most notable of changes (and honestly one of the only demonstrable developments as of late) would have to be the growing, explicit anti-police sentiment among demonstrators. This should not come as a surprise by this point, seeing the number of eyes and limbs lost at the hands of the security forces. But never were there protestors specifically demonstrating on a large scale, with the express intention of voicing anti-police sentiment like in the United States.

Truthfully, we will just have to hold tight and watch this feeling closely over the next few weeks to know whether action against police will become a tenant in the gilet jaune philosophy.
