Want to hear something amazing? I happened to have on the TV this evening when ABC's World News Tonight came on. Not only did they cover the Riots in Paris (which they titled, "Paris is Burning"), but they stated clearly that these were Muslim immigrants... I almost fell off my chair.

I've had a bit of a fever today, so I'm going to turn in early tonight. I'll do some searching tomorrow though as far as rioting in other places. I don't know if it's still ongoing in Denmark, but there was also talk of rioting in Sweden, although I'm unable to confirm it as of yet.

As for the kids that were electrocuted. Here is a link to an article that summarizes the official inquiry into the deaths of the teenagers...

Paris-Area Riots Spread to 20 Towns
CBSNews.com
EXCERPT:

(...)Riots erupted in an outburst of anger in Clichy-sous-Bois over the accidental electrocution Oct. 27 of two teenagers who fled a soccer game and hid in a power substation when they saw police enter the area. Youths in the neighborhood suspect that police chased Traore Bouna, 15, and Zyed Benna, 17, to their deaths.

Since then riots have swelled into a broader challenge against the French state and its security forces. The violence has exposed deep discontent in neighborhoods where African and Muslim immigrants and their French-born children are trapped by poverty, unemployment, racial discrimination, crime, poor education and housing.

The Interior Ministry released a preliminary report Thursday exonerating officers of any direct role in the teenagers' deaths. Some 1,300 officers were being deployed in Seine-Saint-Denis, a tough northeastern area that includes the town of Clichy-sous-Bois and has seen the worst violence.

The report said police went to Clichy-sous-Bois to investigate a suspected intrusion on a building site but did not chase the teenagers who were killed. A third teenager who was seriously injured also told investigators he and the other boys were aware of the dangers when they hid in the substation, which was fenced off, the report said.

The report did not address why the youths ran when officers came to the neighborhood, but it said Benna was known to police for having committed robbery with violence and Bouna was among those who had intruded onto the building site.

Such official assurances that police were not directly responsible for the deaths have not stemmed the unrest, which authorities said spread Wednesday night to at least 20 Paris-region towns. Government offices, a police station, a primary school and a college, a Clichy-sous-Bois fire station and a train station were among the buildings targeted.(...)

I suppose after 8 days of riots, they had no choice. :-)

I hope you're feeling better today!

Dunno why. Remember that the MSM is largely owned by folks who adhere to the CFR (Council on Foreign Relations) and their worldview of a UN dominated NWO. I'm sure the rising threat of an Islamist controlled world is terrifying to all of them! The new religion in that scenario will be enviromentalism, I'm sure. At least that's what I see shaping up in the public school curriculums. So in this, at least, the globalist cabal and the freedom loving patriots make strange but certain bedfellows. I wouldn't call it a partnership per say, more like a scene that says the enemy of my enemy is my friend..... sort of thing. At least for now.
