As a contrast, on my way back I felt at ease. More confident, and prepared to do even greater work. I had presented my work and story to the students at Middlesex University where I had just graduated a year ago. Listening to The 1975, looking out the window and falling asleep to the sight of the pastel dream that was the afternoon sky.

Some men see things as they are and ask why. Others dream things that never were and ask why not.

Police fires tear gas at Yellow Vest demonstrators during the 25th weekend of protests in the streets of Lyon, France.

Police violence is at its highest since the 1950s. There is an extensive use of tear gas, sting-ball grenades and LBDs ("defense ball launchers") against largely peaceful protestors. According to official numbers, as of now, 1.428  tear gas grenades and 13.460 rubber bullets have been fired.
As of now (May 5th, 2019), 23 persons lost an eye and 5 persons their hand during protests (source: mediapart.fr, http://tiny.cc/6hd85y).

Where violence reigns, reason is weak.
