Wrong to see this as deepening or spreading of movement more a temper tantrum by thugs who fear the movement is declining. But there will be more violence before night fall.

His entire Twitter thread of the day's events is well worth following.
The phalanx of several hundred gilets jaunes/ultra left activists who laid waste to Champs Elysees and burned the bank branch have now doubled back to Etoile. They are again attacking circle of gendarmerie vans and barricades around Arc de Triomphe. Lots of paving stones thrown.
