French Police Fear That Blogs Have Helped Incite Rioting By THOMAS CRAMPTON
By THOMAS CRAMPTON
PARIS, Nov. 7 - The banners and bullhorns of protest are being replaced in volatile French neighborhoods by cellphone messages and Skyblog, a Web site that is host to messages inflammatory enough to prompt three criminal investigations this week.
Police officials say that youths have coordinated local arson attacks using cellphone messages. Two young people are under investigation for comments on the online diaries known as blogs on Skyblog, the officials said.
A 14-year-old in the southern city of Aix-en-Provence, arrested after posting an item urging rioters to attack police stations, was later released for procedural reasons, Agence France-Presse reported.
In the blog entries, one of the youths called on other young people in the Paris region to rise up at once in a coordinated attack. "Unite, Île-de-France, and burn the cops," one of the postings said, according to Agence France-Presse. "Go to the nearest police station and burn it."

"French Police Fear That Blogs Have Helped Incite Rioting"
What an obvious solution - the French need merely to ban blogs and then they won't have to mess with any of that law enforcement stuff.
Why not just shoot a few of these idiots? What is so hard about this? Kill a bunch, and let Allah sort them out.
Guaranteed to stop the rioting if one follows the simple 'shampooing' instructions: Find, shoot, repeat.
Haven't thought about it in a long time, but it was great.
The un wants to give a laptop to every child on the planet.
...so there ya go.
"Restrict the internet" alert.
France is basically a socialist government, so I'm guessing their 'poor, downtrodden' immigrants are receiving some fairly healthy government benefits, making their lives in France infinitely better than where they came from. Anybody have any info on this stuff?
No fooling. They're communicating somehow.
No doubt, with Key-logging software and spyware already installed.
Think "Big Brother"/world government.
My thoughts exactly. They're getting it somehow, through crime, French socialism run amok, something. Makes it a bit difficult for me to follow the Washington Post's "woe is them" line. Maybe if they stopped blogging and text messaging and worked on getting a frickin' job or an education....LOL FIREBOMBED CAR ROFL!
