France’s media and its politicians have portrayed the rioting as a form of protest against poverty, racial discrimination and the desperation felt by immigrant families who live in the cités — the grim housing estates erected a generation ago, often near big factories, to accommodate a booming immigrant population.

They've got two choices, buy these muslim ingrates bigger, much more expensive housing and hope that they're happy, which won't happen, or fire back, with real bullets, not rubber ones and tell the rest of that region to either get with the program or go the hell back to their eden-istic places from whence they came.

“Terrible things are happening here,” said Mohammed Bouheiri, an elderly vegetable seller chatting with friends on a street corner. “The government must not neglect us.”

F--- you, Mohammed. There's nothing wrong with you all that a few rounds from a Bradley wouldn't set right. Baise tu maman, mon petit cochon.

People choose to riot.

You got it!

There's tons of "poor" in this country and you don't see them behaving thusly. Hell, there's tons of poor all over the world that don't behave that way.

It's muslim poor. Then we can remove the word "poor" from the mix.

I don't see why decent people should be risking their lives putting out fires for these despicable rioters. Let it burn. Let the rioters put it out.

Emiliano Zapata of Mexico said it better:

It is better to die on your feet than live on your knees.

Don't bet on a weak, pacifist Europe doing nothing as the immigrant time bombs within explode. . . . Behind all the America scolding and empty swagger Europe is uncertain of its future. And afraid. And when Europe is uncertain and afraid, its impoverished immigrants and neighbors best start worrying. . . . If its racist populations feel sufficiently threatened by the Muslim millions within . . . Europe may respond with a cruelty unimaginable to us today

Correct. If the outrages perpetrated by the islamic minorities exceed an ultimate level, the liberal/socialist appeaser governments will fall, and what will replace them may not be the Sarkozys and Merkels and Belusconis of Europe, but rather the LePens and Hitlers and Mussolinis. Ironically, I don't expect Germany (or the UK) to fall into fascist governments, but more likely France, Italy or Spain.

Europe today is a post-Christian society, and when an existential threat is felt by the native ethnic peoples of these countries, their response will not be moderated by Christian restraints.

Devil's island went out of business.

Ah, a well-educated person for a change. French Guiana on the north coast of South America -- Devil's Island where the currents sweep outward into the shark-invested waters of the Atlantic. Devil's Island, where the guillotine was used on prisoners who had trouble following the rules. Devil's Island -- Papillon. Good one.

This is coming here if it is not stopped now.

You are correct. It is in the planning stages as you write.

"The French Gendarmerie Nationale has some of the
best SWAT operators in the world."

Yet is there the political will to utilize them?

France needs another Charles Martel.

"The French Gendarmerie Nationale has some of the best SWAT operators in the world."

Are they being put to use in the neighborhoods of Paris? Will they be allowed to use deadly force against the rioters?

Are French citizens allowed to own firearms? If so, are they allowed to actually use them to protect their lives and property?

Nothing going on that a state sponsored midnight basketball program couldn't cure.

We may hate the French but they are still our brothers. We should hate the French government -- but not the French people.

Bullseye. The French may be a little on the snooty side, and hurl an insult or two, but they're basically a good people, and they're our friends. The chips are down for them right now, and I for one am rooting for them.
