This startlingly prescient article explains, better than any news report could, what is happening in Paris this week. A long read, but for anyone interested in this most important story very worthwhile.

The local police chiefs were paid by results—by the crime rates in their areas of jurisdiction. The last thing they wanted was for policemen to go around finding and recording crime.

Ping for later reading. It is a most illuminating article, indeed!

Judges often make remarks indicating their sympathy for the criminals they are trying (based upon the usual generalizations about how society, not the criminal, is to blame)...well, after all, it was the great French philosopher Rousseau who preached that it is society which ruins people, that if left alone the noble savage was really peaceful and full of good will - these judges are just celebrating the French heritage.....

I just read this whole article out to the better half of little jeremiah.

I have no words to say.

BTTT.

I certainly hope Bush isn't making plans to spend billions more of our dollars attempting to rescue these cretins from the consequences of the crappy world they've built for themselves.

Thank you for posting this. I have been worried about this sort of situation for awhile. I have a friend who was born in Paris but is now a US citizen. I am interested in finding out what she thinks as she still has relatives and friends in France.

Islamist proselytism flourishes in the prisons of France (where 60 percent of the inmates are of immigrant origin), as it does in British prisons; and it takes only a handful of Zacharias Moussaouis to start a conflagration.

This is happening here.....the good old US. The hammer needs to come down. HARD! France is lost through it's own malfeasance. They fowled their own nest. We must take a lesson from their own self-destruction.

Sooner or later, what goes on in France will become our problem. They are only doing the cooking.

Revisiting the 3 years old article by Theodore Dalrymple that provides an excellent explanation of what is going on in Paris now. Prescient and disturbing!

This ping list is not author-specific for articles I'd like to share. Some for the perfect moral clarity, some for provocative thoughts; or simply interesting articles I'd hate to miss myself. (I don't have to agree with the author all 100% to feel the need to share an article.) I will try not to abuse the ping list and not to annoy you too much, but on some days there is more of the good stuff that is worthy of attention. You can see the list of articles I pinged to lately  on  my page.
You are welcome in or out, just freepmail me (and note which PING list you are talking about). Besides this one, I keep 2 separate PING lists for my favorite authors Victor Davis Hanson and Orson Scott Card.

Bump for later copy.

Demographic projections (though projections are not predictions) suggest that their descendants will number 35 million before this century is out, more than a third of the likely total population of France.

If they become a third of the population, that's quite a voting block.

very good but disturbing article
We must keep up the good fight HERE

[razorback-bert]

exemplified by a story that an acquaintance told me. . . my informant

My acquaintance becomes my informant strikes me as odd.

[tonycavanagh]

A very good read.

[He Rides A White Horse]

Several things struck me about the incident: the youths’ sense of invulnerability in broad daylight

Cockroaches don't seem to care when the lights are turned on in this day and age.

[eureka!]

Thanks for the post. Bump...

They enjoy a far higher standard of living (or consumption) than they would in the countries of their parents’ or grandparents’ origin, even if they labored there 14 hours a day to the maximum of their capacity That's the problem in a nutshell. Thank you for posting.

[Revolting cat!]

Dalrymple commenting on rap lyrics quoted just above:

"This vile rubbish receives accolades for its supposed authenticity: for in the multiculturalist’s mental world, in which the savages are forever noble, there is no criterion by which to distinguish high art from low trash. And if intellectuals, highly trained in the Western tradition, are prepared to praise such degraded and brutal pornography, it is hardly surprising that those who are not so trained come to the conclusion that there cannot be anything of value in that tradition. Cowardly multiculturalism thus makes itself the handmaiden of anti-Western extremism"
