rooster59 Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 Man wearing yellow jacket threatens to explode grenade in western France Security officials evaluate the risk on site, after a man threatened to explode a grenade in Angers, France, November 23, 2018 in this picture obtained from social media. TWITTER/@KAMIDH/via REUTERS PARIS (Reuters) - A man wearing a fluorescent yellow jacket similar to those worn by fuel protesters across the country has threatened to explode a grenade near a petrol station in the western French town of Angers, Interior Minister Christophe Castaner said on Friday. Castaner told a news conference the man had shown onlookers the grenade, said he was carrying other explosives and had demanded to see French President Emmanuel Macron. Security officials were on site to evaluate the risk, Castaner said. For more than a week, protesters clad in the fluorescent yellow jackets that all motorists in France must have in their cars have blocked highways across the country with burning barricades and convoys of slow-moving trucks, obstructing access to fuel depots, shopping centres and some factories. It was not clear if the man was directly linked to the yellow jacket movement. -- © Copyright Reuters 2018-11-24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

car720 Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 So is it the wearing of a yellow jacket that is the sin or the exploding of the bomb? If he was wearing a green jacket would it have been alright or would he have had to go to Eastern France for that. I just love some of these headlines.

So is this person making a political statement or a fashion statement? Or is it that in France there is no difference? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
