Rioting In French Suburbs 'Well Organized'
Drudge Report ^ | 11/3/05 | Drudge

Posted on 11/03/2005 12:21:25 PM PST by areafiftyone

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.

The french will put up with this cr@p for only so long. Once they decide to take action, the French can and will be quite barbarous and they won't care what the rest of the world thinks.

.. rather "well organized."

Was it really, or does it just seem that way to the relatively unorganized French police?

You're disgusting and a disgrace to the USA.

And you're a slobbering Canadian, know-it-all pissant.  What's your point, you twaddling little Snowfrog?

The French government actively worked against the United States in a time of war.  They declared themselves an enemy.  When karma swings around and slaps my enemies in the face, I like it. 

Maybe that makes me a bad person but, I never claimed to be a Christian so it's no skin off my nose.

Bite me.

Making fun of the French is so much more fun with help from Monte Python.

I once made the mistake of buying a scotch bonnet. It was so pretty! Aren't they the same thing as a habanero?

Is anyone starting to get a clue that there are some groups of people who "do not play well with others"? Who should not be living in a civilized environment? Who cannot be trusted even to be competently selfish (as in burning down their own neighborhoods, destroying greenhouses that were bought and left for their use, etc.)?

This is racism, Billybob.

How about if I said the same thing about nonwhites in America, particularly in the ghettoes? Or about American Muslims?

Having said that, I am in complete agreement with you.

Cheers! - John

Weren't these 'suburbs' purposely built with only one main access to Paris from them? Seems as though I read about that feature specifically so these areas could be isolated. Correct me if my memory is lacking detail.

I didn't say they weren't Muslims, they're just not all religious radicals.

Looks like the world, especially France, needs this reminder.

Thanks. Doesn't look like an Arab or a radical Muslim.

I chuckled at that one myself when I first read it and almost replied then. Bunny always seems to pull some new zinger from her(?) fertile(?) mind and manages to ruffle at least one person's panties per thread. Hiya Bunny 8^)
