France: Riots 'out of control'
News24 ^ | Nov. 7, 2005 | SA

Paris - Riots in France's poor city suburbs appeared to be spiralling out of control on Monday after the worst night of violence to date, in which more than 30 police were injured and 1 400 cars burnt across the country.

"The shockwave has spread from Paris to the provinces," said Michel Gaudin, director-general of the national police.

For an 11th night in a row youths predominantly from France's large Arab-Muslim minority rampaged through their out-of-town neighbourhoods, setting fire to vehicles, businesses and public buildings and attacking police with stones and other projectiles.

Police figures showed that 1 408 vehicles were destroyed overnight - more than previous record of 1 300 on Saturday - and 395 people arrested. Most of the cars - nearly 1 000 - were targeted in towns and cities outside Paris, reflecting the way the violence has spread from its original flashpoint.

It's getting worse, instead of dying down.

These are not just some "spontaneous" riots.

Remember that bomb factory they found and some statements from French officials that these appear to be well organized.

France: Riots 'out of control'


Is there such a thing as a controlled riot?

But my betters at the Washington Post are telling me that the French are managing everything nicely as they always do.

In the third paragraph they acknowledged these are muslims. I'm impressed. I've seen entire articles that don't ever get around to mentioning that.

So just why is anyone leaving their vehicles on the wrong streets? Is it an insurance thing?

After twelve days, it's just now considered "out of control"?

It's a bit disturbing how when you get a growing Muslim population somewhere in a Western country, they seem to radicalize themselves, like a sleeper cell that's suddenly been activated.

This riot looks like it's being controlled by muslims, so I'd have to say yes, there is such a thing as a controlled riot.

This is an insurrection. In two or three days, we'll hear the sound of gunshot.

Like fire ants. The first one doesn't bite until the whole swarm is in position.

I have been known to commit controlled mayhem, when it is required.

This is not good news. If this is escalating after such a long period of time, then it appears that their intent is a takeover of France. I fear that this will lead to them establishing a stronghold of Islam in Europe that will allow them to build up men and arms to start picking off the rest of Europe one country at a time. Some of those really tiny countries like Monaco and Luxembourg just don't stand a chance.

Those disaffected and disenfranchised "French youth" are learning that rioting works. They could come out of this with increased benefits, scholarships, etc.

"In two or three days, we'll hear the sound of gunshot."


They have already shot at police and wounded several a few days ago.

They also set fire to some poor woman on crutches, getting off a bus.

They also attacked a bus, this time, they asked people to get off, before they torched it, but next time they are likely to just set it on fire with the people in it.

This is an Islamic revolution for the control of Europe. This is just the beginning.

For many, the only parking is street parking.
Any street can be hit in the "quartiers chauds".

It is time to dump ADA insurance stock but buy Peugeot in anticipation of the coming boomlet.
