Paris riot curfew threat

FRANCE will impose curfews in its city suburbs "if necessary" to curb riots that are raging across the country, Prime Minister Dominique de Villepin said today.

He also said 1,500 police reinforcements are to be deployed to restore public order.

Now that is what you call getting tough!

You mean to tell me it is only NOW occuring to the french to tell the rioting muslims to "go home"?

What's next, a stern taunting?

[Mr. Mojo]

"Stop or I'll, I'll, I'll tell you to stop again!"

[quesney]

You mean, they're *still* thinking about it?

This whole France thing has a "Monty Python" feel to it (or "Inspector Clouseau" at the very least).

Chirac also ruled out any possibility for pajama parties for a month and cut off all phone privileges for two solid days. Rumors have circulated that Chirac may even eventually ground rioters on their prom nights.

Curfews = Oui

Cutting off your allowance = Non

[adamsjas]

Are we going to have to go and save the French AGAIN???

No, I think its time for the french to withdraw and let the muslims govern their own land. Its a quagmire over there and continued involvement only fuels terrorism.

"Chirac may even eventually ground rioters on their prom nights."

At least we won't be subjected to the phrase:

"Does this burka make me look fat?"

[hershey]

What's 'necessary'? Is this the line in the sand? Come on, they're kidding.

[Phantom Lord]

"Does this burka make me look fat?"

To which the correct reply is "It's not the burka."

Until the sound of police-fired gunshots are ringing through the streets, this will have no effect at all.

[GeorgiaDawg32]

Yes..I'm afraid there will be a curfew..the police have agreed to be off the streets by 10 p.m. to avoid interr...err..getting in the way of the rioters..don't want any of the rioters hurt now, do we?

[cubreporter]

Like the French will even follow through. See how they went against us? Well, now they are seeing what is going on and hope they are happy.

[DoughtyOne]

...seemingly filled with lighter fluid.

[rattrap]

"If Neccessary"?!?!?! Are you #@$%ing kidding me?!?

[Yaelle]

So basically, these guys can burn up cars all night, then get up and go wait in the chomage line and pick up their government checks the next day?

[GeorgiaDawg32]

that's about it..they gotta pay for the molotov cocktails somehow..gas is expensive over there..

So they start rioting when the sun comes up. What's the difference?
