"In a particularly malevolent turn, youths in the eastern Paris suburb of Meaux prevented paramedics from evacuating a sick person from a housing project, pelting rescuers with rocks and torching the awaiting ambulance, an Interior Ministry official said.

A nursery school was badly burned in Acheres, west of Paris."

I love these folks...

The town had previously escaped the violence, the worst rioting in at least a decade in France. Some residents demanded that the army be deployed, or that citizens band together to protect their neighborhoods. At the school gate, Mayor Alain Outreman tried to calm tempers.

"We are not going to start militias," he said. "You would have to be everywhere."

In Torcy, east of the capital, looters set fire to a youth center and a police station, which were gutted, city hall said. An incendiary device was tossed at the wall of a synagogue in Pierrefitte, northwest of Paris.

That guy's a moron. And his solution is,,,?

[cynicom]

Shoot on sight, the rioting will end.

A liberal I used to debate was in love with Euro-socialism. Too bad I've lost touch with him.

For the first time, authorities used a helicopter to chase down youths armed with gasoline bombs who raced from arson attack to arson attack, national police spokesman Patrick Hamon said.

It's been, what, day-9? And they just use the helicopter now?

Maybe if the French appease the Germans, the Germans will come in and take care of the rioting problem for them.

Oh calm down, you just have to "understand their rage."

They must be filling up these gas bombs somewhere. Does France have any smart-bombs?

To me this is a lot like an intentional avalanche caused by mountaineers so that greater avalanches will be prevented.

The similarity is not in the intention, but in the sense of good avalanches. There are good avalanches, and bad avalanches.

This is a good avalanche. Hopefully it will wake the world up (especially the US) and prevent much greater avalanches in the future.

In that sense I see these Muslim riots in France as a good thing.

I also love to see the French socialist scumbags in trouble.

That's icing on the avalanche cake.

All your France are belong to Allah.

I love the smell of Paris burning in the morning. It smells like SCHADENFREUDE.

I've had an internet account for at least 11 years and don't remember country wide rioting as is now happening in France, when I perused the Reuters and AP wires on Prodigy(an old time US based on line service, now out of business, I believe) in 1995.

Me thinks that the MSM are using the "worst rioting in 10 years" as a ruse to cover up a much bigger and dangerous problem happening now in France.

Thank you"Eurotwit"how are you good friend?

[Duffboy]

I want to jump up and down with joy....somehow I cannot.

[cayuga]

Let me know when they start using helicopter gunships.

Maybe if the French appease the Germans, the Germans will come in and take care of the rioting problem for them.

I wonder about the Germans. For all their modern-day socialism and political correctness, they don't have the surrender-monkey history of the French. I wonder if the Germans would put a stop to riots such as this in their own country, or if they would struggle to understand the causes, as the French are doing.

[Ursus arctos horribilis]

I note the MSM here at home can no longer deny all is not well in Le Frogland. They have actually started saying dreaded words such as, immigrants and (gasp) Muslim youts.
