    They’ll confiscate them in France if they manage to search you before you join the protest. Because of course protection means you’re a terrorist.

        Exactly … get a designer pair that can be passed off as sunglasses and wear them

      Jesus Christ … all the more reason to smuggle in eye protection … and bring extras and hand them around

      Oh i had to think about your wording for a bit to realize you didn’t mean that all French protests were pre-kettled.

        Most of them are though, to make a protest legal you have to declare the planned route and you can be told your protest is illegal (so anyone showing up there and then can be arrested and fined).

          Yeah that’s true in the US too. It would seem odd to me, however, if many protests adhered to such regulations.
