Shocking footage shows rival Yellow Vest activists fighting each other in Lyon despite being united in protest against the French government
2019-02-11
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Astonishing images of anti-government Yellow Vest protestors fighting each other have emerged in France.

Rival groups faced off in Lyon on a day when they were meant to be united in protest against President Emmanuel Macron's government.

'A Right-wing group of Yellow Vests attacked a Left-wing one, and the result was carnage,' said a protestor who witnessed the violence in the South East city on Saturday.

'They were using any weapons they could lay their hands on, and in the end the police had to break them up.'

The scenes were captured by other witnesses who posted their videos on social media.
The Twitter feed the article linked to can be seen here. When I first scrolled through there was a photo of a group of yellow vest men with the Communist sickle on their backs, so I assume the fighting was between neo-Nazis and Communists, or Communists vs Antifas, or some combination thereof — violently self-righteous asses all, doing their very best to transition the movement from Menscheviks to Bolscheviks.
