"This is dreadful, unfortunate. Who did this? Against whom?" Naima Mouis, a hospital worker in Suresnes, asked while looking at the hulk of her burned-out car.
Well duh! This lady probably gets all her news from the NYT (or one of its clones). No wonder why she's confused--she probably thinks the riots are being perpetrated by out of work men of French descent.
The sad truth is that the only language these thugs understand is force. And you have to treat them as thugs, rather than civilized, reasonable men. Kill a whole bunch of them , without mercy or negotiation, and they will lick your boots. Appease them and they will think violence works--then you are guaranteed to get arrogant demands & more of the same. As inept as the French are, they still have superior firepower and know how to use it.
A century ago, every village idiot understood this. Nowadays, most will find this hard to swallow, but the whole point of the liberal/leftist/PC culture is to make people forget common sense and turn men into simpering, dependent cowards.
The trouble is, these days the village idiot is likely to be the mayor, city councilman, state rep, Congressman or even more likely US Senator.
