Rioting Spreads to 20 Towns Around Paris

AULNAY-SOUS-BOIS, France - Rampaging youths shot at police and firefighters Thursday after burning car dealerships and public buses and hurling rocks at commuter trains, as eight days of riots over poor conditions in Paris-area housing projects spread to 20 towns.

Youths ignored an appeal for calm from President Jacques Chirac, whose government worked feverishly to fend off a political crisis amid criticism that it has ignored problems in neighborhoods heavily populated by first- and second-generation North African and Muslim immigrants.

These are not the cars of wealthy native Frenchmen. Someone is crying hard.

"I think your car looks funny too" - actual bumper sticker favored by Citroen drivers.

Hell = driving up the West coast of Ireland on a tight time schedule. Eternal Hell = doing it in a rented Citroen!

I can imagine that there are interesting conversations going on, but of course, you or I will never hear about them from the Lame Stream Media. And you can bet that Chirac & Co are doing everything they can to prevent such conversations from morphing into either effective political pressure or, shall we say, "empowered local action."

An interesting statement. Most people don't see it. The way I view it, it will be somewhat of a miracle if that is not the outcome of the things going on today. The West is under assault on multiple fronts. Also, in addition to terroists, there are nation states who yearn for our demise. If the West falls, I think 10K years is in fact a plausible time frame for the next Dark Age.

Good. Roll 'em up.

LOL! Good point, someone had to proof that copy even after it was written. (sigh) Must we ever monitor these things? I think so!

[Bon mots]

All I see in the photographs from the MSM are French police, fires, burned out cars and destruction. Where are the "youths"?

It must be that the French Police are doing all of this mayhem. They are the only ones I see in the photographs!

[AD from SpringBay]

These pictures remind me of scenes from Dawn of the Dead or Planet of the Apes. In both those movies the humans didn't fare so well.

[ariamne]

Amazing, nest'ce pas? WHERE ARE THE YOOTS? Why is the media hiding the yoots?

Hmmmm....

[fieldmarshaldj]

The media ALWAYS must be monitored.

[Wolfstar]

LOL, Grampa Dave. That frog image is perfect.

[Michael.SF.]

LOL.

Thanks for the laugh. I actually was in Ireland in Sept. and the comments are perfect!

Evidence of the scale of law-breaking, in what are officially known as “les quartiers difficiles”, came with a police report yesterday that 28,000 vehicles had been torched in outbreaks of urban violence in France so far this year.

And given the usual, islamofascist style, I wonder how many rapes have occurred during these "celebrations". BTW, I wonder what leftist group paid for the "Death for nothing" T-shirts worn by the protesters in that one shot. Code Pink probably helped.

[Bigg Red]

they want to turn it into an islamic state

^^
I'm shocked, shocked, I tell ya'!

[Dashing Dasher]

Gary Johnston: Bak. Derk-derk-Allah. Derka derka, Mohammed Jihad. Baka sherpa-sherpa. Abaka-la.

Terrorist: Ohhh! Derka derka derka!

[Bigg Red]

I think the media is puzzled how this could happen in the "socialist utopia" that preaches to others about peace

^^
Well, of course, it's all Bush's fault.

[Chunga]

Call the idiots in the newsroom and ask them how they could have hired such doltish copywriters.

[Bigg Red]

...a disabled woman was doused in petrol and set alight

^^
Ah, yes, typical rulles of engagement for the islamos. Real tough fighters.

quagmire

The French have oppressed minorities long enough. It is time for the French to abandon their illegal and racist occupation of France.

Perhaps the United Nations can find a nice piece of land for them--perhaps the Russians will donate a nice comfy area in northern Siberia. ;-)

Love your tagline!
