13 Arrested In Paris Suburb Riots
CBS News ^ | Nov. 1, 2005 | AP

Youths torched cars, set garbage bins alight and threw stones at police in a fifth night of rioting in a Paris suburb, and set two primary school classrooms on fire as rioting spread to two other suburban towns...

Suburbs that ring France's big cities suffer soaring unemployment and are home to immigrant communities, often from Muslim North Africa.

Sarkozy says violence in the suburbs is a daily fact of life, with dozens of cars torched each night and underground economies of crime.

In incidents apparently unrelated to the riots near Paris, youths set fire to an empty building and trash cans and stoned fire trucks in several nights of unrest in Sedan, northeastern France...

Has Paris surrendered? But seriously, these boys are serious there. The French are tougher than nails internally and these guys are not going to be easy about it.

Notice though, no video circulating on the days of rioting. You think the French media and BBC woudl do the same here?

I feel sorry for the French. I really do. But they let them in and built them hives.

Why feel sorry for the French? They brought this on themselves. They opened their doors to these thugs for years and never addressed the problems. It's France's fault for paying them to stay. They probably get free housing and all sorts of gubment checks because of the socialist gubment.

Most European countries have extremely liberal immigration policies and some even offer much more to aliens. Many don't have to work for a full year or more, get paid to learn the native language and have free childcare and medical benefits and gubment checks too. It's nuts.

"Youths," huh?

How about Islamic "youths?" Would that work? Or is that, let's say, a little too "judgemental" for the brainless liberals at CBS?

And wouldn't you know, still no pictures of the Muslim "youths" torching cars and throwing Molotov cocktails.

No. That would tend to cast the Islamic Nazis in a bad light. All we get are white guys standing in the dark. We can't show the racial proletariat doing *anything* bad.

I only feel sorry for them because now they are in the hot seat. Yes, they allowed the invasion and paid them to live in gub'mint apartments. They screwed up royally. And now, they have a pRoBlEm. It sucks to be them, really. And we should learn from what ensues.

Exactly opposite of our cities!
