They sprayed milk from huge canisters, and the cow's udder, on a square close to the meeting. The jittery cow was frightened by firecrackers, sprang loose and chased an office worker down the street before it was recaptured by the farmers.
The farmers used heavy tractors to block major highways into Brussels and streets in the urban center, creating traffic chaos for dozens of miles outside the city for much of the day, keeping tens of thousands of commuters moving at a snail's pace...
There might be some things we can learn from the Europeans but as someone born and raised there - this ain't it! Those are the thug tactics adopted straight from the Brown Shirts manual (predecessors to SA which became incorporated into the SS).
Remember that at any given time there is somebody on strike somewhere in Europe!
It's all fun and games until you get stuck in some God forsaken little French village because the farmers at some local farm market demand even higher subsidies on their already exorbitantly subsidized produce. Solution? Just block one of the main interstates until you get what you want and when that's resolved, let the next farming commune do it all over again.
Protests and demonstrations? You bet ya! Cave in to the French redneck (or redcork?) farmer thugs? No way!!!
