But is the goal to storm the palace so to speak, are they going to literally do anything or just walk around the streets until Macron steps down? Not trying to make light of what they're doing, but is the spirit of this a protest or a revolution?

They dont want to speak, its more of a revolution, They want him gone and possibly give him the gadaffi treatment if they can get their hands on him, He's under serious threat.

That would be cool. Iv always wanted to see this kind of thing happen in a first world country but it never does

Thank you for making it clear. "So to speak" is just an English phrase that means, "in a way", so I wasn't trying to ask if they wanted to talk to him. I have plenty of friends for whom English is a 2nd language and they appreciate me educating them on things like that, so hopefully you do too.I never thought about what that phrase means literally before, that's interesting.
I guess my next question would be, when do the people start bring their own batons and shields to these events and, well...do battle? Not asking you to predict the exact future, but does it look like things are going that way? From what I've seen (RT live streams) it seems like when a single line of police tell people to stop marching, they do. When does that stop? Maybe I haven't seen what's really been going on though and these things have been happening already.
