French Interior Minister Nicolas Sarkozy said Thursday that the riots in several Paris suburbs over the previous night were "not spontaneous" but rather "well organized."
"What we saw in the department of Seine-Saint-Denis overnight was not spontaneous, it was perfectly organized. We are looking into by whom and how," Sarkozy told French news channel i-tele.
The interior minister also said the government would not allow "troublemakers, a bunch of hoodlums, think they can do whatever they want" in the country.
A force of 1,000 police were assigned late Thursday to Seine-Saint-Denis, following the previous night of violence which affected about half of the 40 towns in the department, mostly communities of immigrants from Africa, officials said.
Send in the Legion! No political correctness there.
May I recommend a link posted by Kozak earlier today. Long, but well worth the read. I believe the majority of rioters are North African Muslims.

The French remember the Commune.
If Europe doesn't "get it" pretty quick, they're going to wake up one morning with a bunch of Mullahs running their world.
Do you have references to France "unleashing the hounds"?
Look up Algeria some time. They were brutal.
Can you tell us here though?
This no doubt has its roots in the palestinian-zionist conflict. Clearly the frenchies have not demonstrated sufficient anti-semitism to satisfy its islamic fifth column. It'll be interesting to see how this is handled. It would be a good time to completely eradicate any islamic presence on french soil.
Amen, and NO kid glove either
old sage once said "Where there are Muslims,there is trouble"
True. Perhaps we should look at their more recent activities in West Africa. In the Ivory Coast last year, they shot at least 20 protesters to death.
I thought they were killed in the name of Marxism. You know, all loyalty to the state, no god, state owns everything, etc.....
I don't think the Legion owns a pair of kid gloves.
"The average Frenchman is disarmed and defenseless"
Frenchmen are soft as a soggy quiche and just as potent.
On November 6, 2004, aircraft from the Ivoirian Government struck a French military base, resulting in the deaths of nine French troops and the wounding of an additional 31. In retaliation, the French military detrsoyed two Sukhoi-25 aircraft, in addition to five helicopter and an Ivorian army weapons cache, effectively destroying the Ivory Coast Air Force. The order to retaliate was reported to have come directly from French President Jacques Chirac. The U.N. Security Council, meanwhile held an emergency session to discuss the situation in the country and called for an end to all military operations by Ivory Coast forces.
In the meantime, pro-Gbagbo militants, begun setting fire to a number of French schools in the capital, Abidjan, and looting French property. In response to escalating tensions, the French military dispatched three Mirage jet aircraft to another French military base in Libreville in nearby Gabon, to be put on standby. The French Ministry of Defense, on the following day, announced that it was dispatching as well an additional 600 troops as reinforcements; 300 of which were dispatched from Libreville, while the remaining 300, along with a squadron of gendarmes, were being ferried from Istres, France aboard three airbus aircraft.
After an aerial attack caused the deaths of nine French soldiers and one American civilian, the French reacted by destroying most Ivorian air assets and seizing the airport. In response, there were widespread confrontations between Ivorian demonstrators and the French military, resulting in some Ivorian civilian and military deaths. These incidents were accompanied by widespread rioting, looting, and violence in Abidjan and elsewhere, directed against the French, but also other expatriate and some Ivorian individuals, homes, and businesses. French schools in Abidjan were destroyed and have not since reopened.
They weren't shy about it.
Ever seen a college kid light a fart?
That gave me chills...
Translation, please.
France must be treated like every third-world, banana republic with an insurrection-problem. ;*D
