It isn't a "riot" when it happens in 300 towns. It is an uprising.

Then again, they aren't just "youths" and neither was the communist led riot in Toledo Ohio.

you may be very right. this probably started as a riot by

hmmmmmmm muslim yutes. but when the real muslims saw

that mere children are on the verge of such victories,

perhaps some reinforcements ala seasoned jihadists were

sent in? regradless, france is done, look for massive

capital flight and emigration of those frogs who can afford

it. we are witnessing history that happens only every

thousand years or so and i for one am just dam enjoying it.

Civil war, but really a foreign invasion.

[Ghost of Philip Marlowe]

It makes you wonder what ever happened to the term "insurrection." Most nations, even those with liberal (in the classical sense) free-speech laws, do have laws against rioting. These laws protect the freedom of speech.

Those nations that tolerate rioting as a form of expression soon lose not only the freedom of speech but many other civil liberties as well. Of course, this pertains only to the law-abiding, not the insurrectionists.

I like your tag line, by the way.
