So in France its become a rule that violence is the way to counter unpopular laws? Recently a negotiator was kidnapped by workers, which is sad enough, but apparently its become the norm to kidnap negotiators as a regular tactic.

Has all rule of law broken down in France? I sounds like some Mad Max free-for-all there.

Not trying to advocate violence here, but few broken windows works better than wearing black armband.

This is how it seems to work in this country. Nobody will ever pay attention to some quiet, peaceful and respectful protesters, but as soon as things are getting dirty, then medias are all in and people/politics are actually talking/thinking about it.

This is indeed unfortunate, but as a matter of fact it works

Yes violence works. I understand that.
