This is completely surreal. I'm trying to imagine how an outbreak of left-wing violence in the suburbs of NYC would be handled as it threatened to encrouch on NYC itself. Imaging a wall of cops on horses, black helicopters, barricades, tear gas fired into scurrying crowds. I'm thinking NYC cops would win that hands down without even the degradation of asking the Governor for National Guardsmen with M16's as backup.
Is France this third world already?
