Not a good move, Vincent

Vincent age 19, risks 6 months in prison and losing his job at the mairie of Toulouse after being involved in the anti sivens manif ( manifestation) He is accused of throwing a bottle of paint made up as a bomb and shouting obscenities at the gendarmes.
 This youth is taking the brunt of the news reports as a youth with a job in the mairie makes better news than an out of work lout. Interestingly shouting obscenities at the police is a very serious crime and I remember when we first came here  being told to never talk back to the police as it would be treated seriously.
 Vincent has a belief but in these difficult times of getting a job were his actions worth it?
