Almost 300 people have been injured, more than half of them police, as violent anti-government demonstrations show no sign of easing.

So the police/government is going soft on these criminals.

Time to bring out the life ammo and end this.
 
In April 2021 parliamentary election, ruling Socialist Party, led by Prime Minister Edi Rama, secured its third consecutive victory, winning nearly half of votes and enough seats in parliament to govern alone.

How surprising. Vote better next time if you don't want corruption.

AI Overview

The 18th-century French terror campaign is historically known as the Reign of Terror (la Terreur). It was a period of state-sanctioned violence and political repression during the French Revolution that lasted from September 5, 1793, to July 27, 1794. [1, 2, 3]
Managed by the Committee of Public Safety—most notably led by the radical Jacobin Maximilien Robespierre—the campaign was designed to protect the fragile new French Republic from domestic insurrections and foreign royalist invasions. [1, 2, 3]

Key Aspects of the Campaign
    • The Guillotine as a Political Tool: The regime used the guillotine to systematically execute anyone suspected of being an "enemy of the revolution". Victims included high-profile figures like Queen Marie Antoinette and rival politicians, but the vast majority were ordinary citizens caught in the crossfire. [1, 2, 3]
    • Legalized Paranoia: Draconian laws like the Law of Suspects and the Law of 22 Prairial stripped citizens of their right to legal counsel or public trials. Tribunals were given only two options for defendants: total acquittal or execution. [1, 2, 3]
    • Mass Casualties: Scholars estimate that between 35,000 and 50,000 people were killed nationwide. While roughly 16,500 were formally sentenced to the guillotine, tens of thousands more died in overcrowded prisons or through brutal military crackdowns on regional rebellions, such as the War in the Vendée. [1, 2, 3]
    • Social and Religious Engineering: The campaign went beyond executions. The revolutionary government established strict price controls on food, banned luxury items, closed churches, and introduced a completely new anti-Christian calendar. [1, 2]
The campaign ended abruptly during the Thermidorian Reaction in July 1794, when members of the National Convention grew terrified of their own safety, turned on Robespierre, and sent him to the guillotine.
