My days of protesting in Paris and being tear gassed....oh you disbelievers...

well, get ready to believe. I found it on Youtube. In case you were unaware, you can find ANYTHINGon Youtube.

We were there. I thought it was a "street festival". Don't ask. It was the cops beating their nightsticks against their riot shields. However, who can say they were tear gassed during a French Student riot in Paris during Spring Break?

And the dreadlocked guy? TOTALLY started the riot we were in. He had a megaphone, so it sort of sounded like latin music where they holler rapidly in a megaphone, and actually he was inciting people to throw stuff at cops who were guarding St. Sulpice Cathedral.

And please excuse the horrid Euro Techno music. I have no explanation for that.

FYI: We were not the "troublemakers". We were killing time until our dinner reservation, which we never made because we were quite unpresentable because of tear gas and basic freaking out. And yes, it was Paris in the Springtime. Which is freezing cold, btw. Enjoy!!!
