Someone with some sense appears on the thread.
But first the French have to recognize the problem. De Villepin is still appeasing the Muslims. The only way for things to get better in the long run is for them to get worse in the short run.
My dad was there when that happened. Mussolini and Clara Petacci and one of his lieutenants are hanging in a gas station in Milan. Dad took pictures, but we can't find them (they're somewhere in the back hall closet.)
The illegal Mexicans in this country would never do that here. Right????
The Egyptian daily Al-Massaie referred to the riots as "the intefadeh of the poor."Cheeky thing to say in a country with a per-capita GDP of $4200.
Security?
Those white flags are no match for our molotav cocktails! Let's get them!
Rioting in France is productive. Pavlovian reality: the words V uttered are the truly inflammatory statements, couched in liberal-speak. Model of success: find something that works; keep doing it.
It's often been said that the intelligence of a mob is only as high as its least-intellegent member; I see the same is true of government.
You're absolutely right. As a Francophile with reservations (led that whole Revolution they had and then the 20th-century), I've been watching this and hoping that things don't improve, that the riots continue, and that the politicians are made to look like fools.
The only way France recovers from this the way we all know they should is if the people are able to speak out, to act, and to demand immediate, drastic change. You give the politicians and the academics the reigns, and France is going to go back to appeasement.
And these thugs like appeasement. They may even wait another year or two before rising up again. When their numbers have further swelled, of course.
France and Europe are on the cusp. I'm afraid their socialis notions and lack of Christian absolute moral principles is going to do them in. I'd like to think differently, but when your first instinct is to paint everything in shades of gray, well, you don't stand for much.
Het Musollini...how's it hanging?
I thought Mussolini was hung by his heels in his home town. That would be Forli.
Well, sure, if you say so. Maybe we'd better let all those drug running, mafioso-type, Mexican gangs know about it so they don't start, just in case.
1 BAR, one 50 Cal BMG, and a flame thrower would impress this gang of thugs.Nothing like the shells from a 50 Cal BMG whanging near your head to get your attention...Short bursts, 3 to 5 rounds.
French TV.
"The widespread violence has already led France to begin fast-track trials, with 106 adults and 33 minors so far sentenced to prison or detention centers."
More info on the youthful offenders.
Perhaps the fueligans (frustrated youths) are jealous of the Iraqis, who have their own state and their own constitution,.
