The people fight for there right. Sometimes violence is a solution! Yes..it start at the french revolution and sometimes the "normal" people should show here force too the government.

I don't remember exactly the sights of 1968 (too small) but I'll always remember the sounds of the demonstrators nearby ("CRS SS, CRS SS!") as my parents were frantically trying to get out of the way before being completely caught in the mess. In '68, we used to go to school very close to Jussieu and eventually the school had to close down for almost a month because it was too dangerous getting to and from school. I tend to agree with Elsa, though, I'm not sure this is exactly quite like May 68, yet, but is sure is showing some potential. I agree, I think it’s a fantastic shot, too!

Even if Elsa thinks there´s no commonplace between the two protests, I think that both movements show the spirit of students claiming independence from the system. Anyway, this issue aside, I really love this picture. bravo again! I think this is a wonderful picture and the b&w photo truly looks like ‘68.

You and Louis are about the same age, so we may not be as fast on our feet as we once were! Louis la Vache is glad you had les police in FRONT of you!

Different claims, different situations, different ways of actions, different political actions, different protestors' social background...
