Don't want to say that this is a bad/wrong decision, but is Macron trying to get executed? Wonder how many people will riot this time.


LittleRickyPemba

You think there was ever going to be a lack of riots? It's France in the summer.


true-kirin

we take vacation from strike too in the summer usually, when riots hapoen in the summer means this is very serious


abhi8192

>Wonder how many people will riot this time. Depends on who celebrate Bastille day.


Jitterjumper13

Know what you'll see on Bastille Day? Fireworks.


aZcFsCStJ5

China bans fireworks in all major cities during lunar new years. It's really interesting watching fireworks at eye level in a skyscraper for 4 hours strait.


LilKaySigs

The French people aren’t the best to impose laws on especially at this moment They will launch fireworks out of pure spite and this ban might actually have the opposite effect


nohead123

In the US some states have bans on fireworks but the cops look the other way on Independence Day. I wonder if the same thing will happen in France.


bogushobo

Probably not because this isn't really the same thing. I'd be surprised if cops are going to look the other way on the main day/week they've been instructed to enforce the ban.


makawakatakanaka

This reminds me of a certain even where people stormed the bastille for certain explosives


El_dorado_au

They want to celebrate past revolution, yet prevent a current one from happening. Curious!


Prielknaap

How are you going to ban gunpowder for the day where people broke into Bastille to secure arms and gunpowder.


Rogojinen

It kinda makes me want to puke to play devil's advocate for that shameful government but that measure is pretty common to reduce the expected chaos. For example, the day of music festivals or other great gatherings, the city housing them will put a temporary ban on selling alcohol for the day. It just means you have to prepare in advance, but latecomers simply there to join the fun, for better or worse, won't have ammo. Just like it will diminish a little the number of people that will abuse it and end up in the EMT tents. To go back on the fireworks, something that would actually stop any violence from occurring would be to reign in law enforcement and not let them loose on the population at the second someone even looks their way. *But sure,* to prevent riots started because of police brutality, don't restrain the police, forbid fireworks.


Crabitor

If drunken idiots want to light bottle rockets out of their ass i say let them i love fireworks and dont haveuch sympathy for the dim


senpoi

They banned fireworks for new years eve in Amsterdam as well, and noone cared Doubt anyone will care about the ban lol

[Neighbor blows up your house.] My home is destroyed and I have somewhere else to go. [They let you move in to say sorry as long as your work and “assimilate”.] I’m expected to help around the house at my new home. [They kill your little brother, so you start trashing tables and start a fire in the bathroom.] My little brother was killed by either the government, institution or homeowner of my dwelling. “Who”exactly doesn’t matter because I see that as the same. (Also in this story little bro could have been committing a crime, shot by police etc) I destroy the property of others in retribution of my loss. Then I blame it all on a country, not 3 bad people of many. I see it as the same. I see i am owed by living people and deserve more.

wow actual dog shit country at this point


WilliamSwagspeare

*points gun* Always has been


FrogOfDreams

Can someone explain to me why a firework ban is a bad thing? I understand that there is sentiment towards them but they are wasteful, loud and scare all the animals away


Totoques22

It’s not a bad thing and the ban is not aplied for the people that would normally organise fireworks


abhi8192

>Can someone explain to me why a firework ban is a bad thing? Taking joy away from people is a bad thing. >but they are wasteful, Sentiment >loud Literally why they are fun >and scare all the animals away They come back next day just fine.


Silejonu

> They come back next day just fine. No they don't. Even just looking at birds, it kills **a lot** of them.


snowylion

> Even just looking at birds, Tell me more about what you ate today.


Silejonu

I'm vegan, if that's where you're trying to go.


snowylion

Yup. You being a statistical anomaly doesn't change the point I am making whatsoever.


Silejonu

So what's your point?


snowylion

>if that's where you're trying to go. Why, what happened to your foresight?


Silejonu

I wanted you to present your point so that I can answer it without putting words into your mouth, but I see you're only here to argue. Bye.


Crabitor

Maybe the birds should stop being pussies


abhi8192

Meh.


Sch4duw

Eh, the animal thing has a point. Some dogs really get a trauma for fire works, so it is important the first time they encounter it to be present and soothe them.


[deleted]

it's not going to work, i can garante you


oregon11

They should have banned islam.


nifeman20

They also have had a gun ban but we saw how that was working out at the protests


suiluhthrown78

Good The thuggish rioters were using the fireworks to attack police officers, business owners and employees, random people on the streets, even some small time mayor's wife and kids..... Animal behavior.


true-kirin

the mayor being attacked by rioters was a fake news, he got attacked but by someone looking for personal revenge and it coincidentally happened at the same time as the riots plus most of the times fireworks are used against anti riot police only (for breaking glass etc they use blunt weapon or ampty handed)


rocketseeker

The truth oesn't matter when the matter is narrative I guess


ChuyUrLord

I hadn't heard of this. Do you have a source? Nothing is coming up in my search.


ZeroCoinsBruh

Someone as multiple people? Also the mayor's family while escaping was [targeted by fireworks](https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-66079408) from this "someone".


Silejonu

Source? I could not find a single news source backing your claim.


suiluhthrown78

Complete nonsense And no they attack police officers and cars directly, and ordinary people


spudmarsupial

Yeah. They should be using teargas and guns, lkke the cops.


bandaidsplus

🥾👅


ner_vod2

Neighbor blows up your house. They let you move in to say sorry as long as your work and “assimilate”. They kill your little brother, so you start trashing tables and start a fire in the bathroom. Them: fuckn animals.


suiluhthrown78

When the french went on their adventures they found the worst conditions in human history, improved it significantly, couldnt make it perfect, nonetheless were kicked out, places went to shit with each passing year and now half a century on..... Millions went to France, free/subdisdized housing, education and healthcare, endless welfare and pensions. All paid by hardworking taxpayers. End result: ungrateful and high crime. Its no surprise that they found what they found and why those places reverted to what they have reverted to, cannot be fixed without rewriting the code in the culture, too late now.


oregon11

Yeah, so you were robbing and raiding said neighbour for centuries beforehand, than they fucked you up for a hundred years and then they let you in their house, even though yours isn't actually blown up and you could actually do something to improve it, instead you do move into said neighbour's house and behave like a fucking animal, refuse to assimilate, cause constant problems, commit crimes at significantly higher rates then them, bring your medieval deathcult into everything and then your shitty little brother who venerates criminal behaviour gets himself shot dead deservedly on his umpteenth dangerous offense... so you go and start a fire in the bathroom.


ner_vod2

Oh yes, our victims the Europeans. Won’t someone shed a tear for them. You lack systemic context. I tried to Barney style it for folk like you in the first post. I know this is more of an emotional thing for you, your hate; hit me up when your down to actually talk about it.


uberlux

Or find your own food instead of biting the hand that feeds. Moron. The irony of how dishonourable beggars can be. But still expect honour from others. People like you (mentality) regardless race or religion. Make me sick. Parasite.


Crabitor

You spelled based wrong
