Stingray: Conservative Christian News and Commentary
How come there are no "brave" french guys that go and fire bomb the slum houses?
Why have all the french people just hunkered down and not fought back against these slime?
What ever happened to every person in FRance being part of Le Resistance against the Nazis?
Bears repeating.
Apparently, most of them are dead.
Brave Muslim alert!
Unfortunately most of the "warrior class" French gene pool was wiped out in two world wars. What you see now is what is left - the descendants of the ones who wouldn't fight.
"Paris riots: Organized and Spreading?"
At first glance I thought this was another Hilton home movie.
Guess not
And they know that since they are law-abiding citizens, they not only have more to lose by retaliating, but also that it will be easier for the police to arrest them because they will come quietly, while the rioters will not.
I guarantee that if a random, law-abiding white or Asian citizen who had had his car torched or his store looted during the LA riots had come back to the scene after the fact to shoot the people who did it, he would currently be on death row.
Period.
And you know that too.
Not true, the LA Rioters were very upset by Korean store owners protecting their property with shotguns and the wielders of the shotguns opening up on them if they got too close.
I agree about the people in big cities that allow their lives to be protected by the police instead of taking preventative actions to protect themselves.
I think my point was more that their has been no retaliation of the average French citizen against these muslim nitwits. They seem to allow their property to be destroyed and do nothing about it but put the fire out after the car or house has been burned to the ground.
How do you know they won't? And not if, but when they do, the pendulum over there may swing very far. The thing about European politics is, when the equilibrium gets disturbed, the results can be shocking.
Although, this summer, a major recruiting drive for the French military went into full gear. Way more ads and the like than what we've got here in the US.
Completely beside my point.
Again, if any of those shopkeepers had lost their stores to looting and returned the next day to shoot the looters, he would be in prison.
I think my point was more that their has been no retaliation of the average French citizen against these muslim nitwits.
There was no retaliation in NYC after 9/11. I was there.
The average French citizen knows that retaliation is against the law and that he will pay the full price of breaking the law if he retaliates.
Most people, if given the choice, would clean up the damage, fill out the insurance forms and remain outside of prison, rather than engaging in activity which is guaranteed to put them in prison for 20 years.
If I was in this situation there is no way I would risk going to the clink and being deprived of the company of my wife and children for decades in exchange for a few moments of sweet revenge.
Of course, if the rioters harmed my family, I would probably kill as many of them as I could until I was captured.
For the sake of theor own country, I hope they find some good men to wear the uniform. All kidding about the French aside, they have made major contributions to Western civilization.
I'd rather have an angry, anti-Muslim France than a fully dhimmized France.
Two things...the Korean store owners were minority immigrants, which grants them the same police politically correct status as the rioters, and they had guns to defend their property. The French public has been disarmed.
So Chirac made a big show of refusing to fight Muslim extremists with the USA, UK and others in Iraq?
Then let him fight them in France, alone.
So you would have done a Bronson on them!
Me too.
If during the riots in France, a "Brave" Frenchman, stood up and protected his property with a shotgun, would their laws put him in the jug?
I understand that after finding your property destroyed, shooting a rioter would be frowned upon. But where are the people defending their own property. Where is the French military?
Good popint. Plus all those rioters had probably seen a Jackie Chan movie or two.
