France is banning the sale of fireworks on its biggest national holiday after protesters used them as weapons against police - eviltoast

The ban is in effect through Bastille Day in order to prevent “serious disturbances” to public order, the French government announced Sunday.

      I think this is a great opportunity to see if anybody has a spine anymore. If the French won’t have a proper revolution, we’re fucked.

        No one ever accused the French of

        • Being bad at baking
        • Not getting good and angry when the government is wrong
        • Being ashamed of being French.

        I really have to hand it to them. Anglo nations just endure terrible government as an unfixable problem. When you piss the french off they are going to let you know.
