Yellow Vests Battle Tear Gas and Aggressive Riot Cops

And while the MSM is largely ignoring the size and scope of the protests, independent journalists, select foreign news outlets and others have been documenting the mayhem.

An investment opportunity might be to ship a bunch of Safety Orange clothing there and sell it so airport/ construction/ municipal can walk to work without getting gassed.
