Getting tough now. marches!

its the end of the french as we knew them, and I feel fine

[mewzilla]

He appealed for them to keep their offspring at home.

Snort. Now there's a thought.

[Excuse_My_Bellicosity]

This is the response after more than a week of this crap? It's time to break out the military with real bullets. Oops, this is the French we're talking about. The parlaiment will break out new welfare benefits and offer them more Grey Poupon.

[SteveMcKing]

I must say, though I wish China were... not really China -- they don't seem to have these problems.

[SevenofNine]

How long before the French surrender OH I AM SORRY They already had

[Bertha Fanation]

Let's see. The French held out two weeks against the Germans. Will they last that long this time?

[soltice]

the mothers are going protest WHO? This is almost as stupid as the Watts riots. Get mad so you destroy yourself in protest!

give the boys a match!

[Paladin2]

The protesters should be given a lifetime vacation in Zimbabwe, Sudan or dropped off in Timbuktu.

[austinaero]

I think the firefighters and police should establish a perimeter around the areas of the city that aren't burning,,and quit responding to the hEllholes that are already in flames..

Of course, the French govt and those few 10 people still employed in France will be billed for the cleaning up the devastation.

The parents should be totally ashamed. They are responsible for how their children are raised. Their kids won't give a rat's a$$ that the parents want the violence to stop. What a joke!

[Peace will be here soon]

"Parents of the teenage rioters who have turned the housing estates of northern Paris into an urban war zone will march in silent protest this morning to demand an end to the spiralling unrest."

I think we now know why their children are acting like complete idiots.

[Rosemont]

it's turning into a quagmire.

Madjid Zidane, 47, "The troublemakers are not men," he said. "Real men wouldn't behave in this way. No, these are kids under 25 - including my own."

Those kids have more guts than this twerp. If he was a real man, he would have cracked his son upside the head to put some sense into him.

Who`s your daddy?

[NickatNite2003]

I don't care if they are lily white Scandavians,
or full blooded gaulic French "boys" of 14. They
are Insurrectionists, and should be machine gunned
down, as they riot in the streets.

[frogjerk]

Dozens more were torched in Dijon

"Dee Dee Dee Dijonnaise aise aise aise..."

[Steely Tom]

I await a "United Colors of Benetton" socially conscious advertising campaign featuring the downtrodden young males of Aulnay-sous-Bois wearing brightly colored knit turtleneck sweaters and holding molotov cocktails.

We're building the new France!

[Jorge]

Mommies against riots!

It's worth a try.

[TN4Liberty]

My 14-year-old pulled a knife on me the other day. Do you think he's afraid of them?"

Well he sure as he!! isn't afraid of you, is he dad?

I have a 14 year old. I love him a lot. I'm no badass. But if he pulled a knife on me, he'd better use it, because dad is gonna apply a serious whooping on him.

[fat city]

Parents of the teenage rioters ... will march in silent protest

Any bets on how long the protest remains silent?

[RedBeaconNY]

If my kid pulled a knife on me, I'd floor him on the spot, no questions asked.

[Cobra64]

I'd just send Jean F'n Kerry over there on his bike... he'd sort out the problem in a nanosecond.

I think he was in Vietnam. Does anyone know that?
