Civil Unrest in France Enters 12th Night

PARIS Nov 7, 2005 — France will impose curfews under a state-of-emergency law and call up police reservists to stop rioting that has spread out of Paris' suburbs and into nearly 300 cities and towns across the country, the prime minister said Monday, calling a return to order "our No. 1 responsibility."

The tough new measures came as France's worst civil unrest in decades entered a 12th night, with rioters in the southern city of Toulouse setting fire to a bus after sundown and pelting police with gasoline bombs and rocks.

Rioters in the southern city of Toulouse ordered passengers off a bus and then set fire to it and pelted police with gasoline bombs and rocks. Youths torched another bus in the northeastern Paris suburb of Stains, national police spokesman Patrick Hamon said.

" Bust some heads."

Mass airlifts out of France is the only way to solve it.
These animals are not compatible with Western civilization.
Its like adding human feces to good wine.

The complete and utter fantasy world that the French government is living in is the same exact fantasy world that the US government is living in...boy are we in trouble!

Since I can't possibly imagine how you would reach that conclusion, please clarify and extend your remarks.

And we are making the same exact mistake in the US. Muslims are pouring into our country by the millions and we turn a blind eye as they plot against us, convert our youth, and preach hate in their mosques.

What's happening in France is on its way to a US neighborhood near you if our government doesn't get its head out of its butt.

And I know that all you Freepers out there are saying, "Bring it on!. We have the second amendment. We'll just shoot the Muslim invaders!" But I am telling you that political correctness is going to de-ball this country just like it did Europe.

By the time Islam pulls this crap in the US we will all be scared to death to fight back for fear of being charged with a hate crime against Muslims. I hope to God that the Muslims strike here too soon while there is still a remnant of America left to fight them.

How long until the copy-cat crimes start here in the USA?
I think not long. Here in the Northwest we have a lot of idiot 'anarchist' young adults who love breaking things. Think WTO in Seattle. I think the TV pictures will spur them to act out.

Never mind my previous question. You're too creepy to engage in conversation.

"France will impose curfews under a state-of-emergency law and call up police reservists to stop rioting"

The French police were last seen driving cadillacs in Houston, Tx....

I'm laughing my ass off when I hear Chirac does his reflexive appeasement action by saying "We're going to be GIVING them more benefits, more scholarships etc etc".

Yeah Chirac, APPEASEMENT DOES WORK eh?

Our government, including the GOP, has been bending over backward to kiss Islamic butt for quite some time now. An example would be the fact that Bush and Rice both pressured Israel to concede lands to the Palestinians.

Another example would be Rice, in a speech the other day, touting the fact that Islam has made so many beautiful contributions to the world.

Another example would be Bush entertaining one Islamic leader after the other in the white house.

And yet the final example is the fact that we are letting Muslims pour into our country by the millions and giving them free college educations in the very arts that they need to perfect to destroy us (chemistry, Biology, Nuclear physics)

These are exactly the same mistakes France made.

Don't let your loyalty to the GOP or any other party blind you to what is really going on in this country. Bush throws up a lot of smoke screens to appease his Republican loyals and then fades into the shadows and does the same Islam appeasing crap as every other leader on the planet. I voted GOP this last go around, but a Dem nor a Repub will ever get my vote my again.

We have no leadership in this country. The Dems and Repubs both are a gaggle of idiots who have become elitist royalty in their own minds. They have zero concept of reality. They believe that Islam is just like every other hurdle they faced in their quest for power...it can be bought or negotiated away., and like Chirac, they still won’t get it even when American cities are burning.

And let’s not even mention the millions of Mexicans that the Bush administration is allowing to pour across our Southern border.

I read that the French army has a large Muslim enlistment and that there is concern about how loyal and effective those soldiers would be if deployed to stop the rioting.

reminds me of a dopey anti-war sign which read:
"I support those troops who SHOOT their officers"

You obviously missed the point...

I'm not saying that I want them to strike in the US. I'm just saying that if its inevitable, I hope it happens before we become a bunch of panty waste wimps like the French. I don't know about you, but I'm not looking to forward to the prospect of being converted or killed for the cause of Islam.

And at least I have the balls to say what I mean. That may seem a little creepy to the politically correct minded these days.

The excellent History channel program tonight on the Crusades made it very clear that most of the inspiration and implementation of those expeditions into Islam land was led by the French - even the leader of the third Crusade, Richard The Lion-Hearted, was of French blood and held most of his land in that part of the British "empire" which is now France - anothe reason for the Muslims to be pi$$ed in Paris.......
