PARIS (AP) -- A French police spokeswoman says eight officers have been suspended after a young man was beaten in a Paris suburb.
Bonjour au Gaza! Enjoy the light show.
"I hope that the rioters are smart enough to go after red states and red strongholds in otherwise blue states instead of burning their own neighborhoods."
Dream on, DoUchebag. You riot-fans always foul your own nests.
The more I think about it, the more I'm convinced France could become Euro-Detroit.
Detroit used to be an American jewel; prosperous, full of business and life, fantastic buildings and had so much to offer. After the race riots they've become the poorest, most liberal (I'm still trying to puzzle THAT one out) and the most segregated city in the US. They heap financial demands on the rest of the state, villify the suburbs, run lynching election ads (see Hip-Hop Kilpatrick's campaign), tax the snot out of homeowners, are anti-business and their schools are a disaster. They've even got "African Town," which gives preferential treatment of black-owned businesses over Arab and Hispanic. Talk about racism!!
France is turning into an inside-out Detroit. I don't know if they've got suburbs *outside* the slums they can flee to, but at this point I don't think they're willing to do what it takes to reclaim their city.
They should look hard at Detroit. It's been 30 years and the place is STILL going downhill because of racism -- blacks against everybody else.
Tres funny, mon ami!
For years- heck, decades- I've enjoyed mocking the French and it seems now that this pastime may be in danger. Who will we use as the butts of all our stinky, effete, and cowardly jokes if the French succumb to social Darwinism?
It seems then to be in our nationnal interst to do something to preserve this humourous facet of our national culture. Oh, we could send them a statue, I suppose, but more fitting I think would be a member of our upper class who enjoys slumming with his inferiors, just as they sent us Lafayette.
Hmm. Who to send? I would like to propose we send John Kerry over to direct their efforts at remaining an independent nation. He's not doing much and it has been remarked that he already looks French. Perhaps with his direction and experience, the French will indeed be able to preserve their unique place in American culture.
One down and how many to go..The Muslims said they would take over the world..
Europe never learned the real lesson of the evils of Nazism. Rather than reject the deepest premises of the Nazis, they have inverted them into a new form, so that Europe no longer seeks to liquidate its racial minorities — but instead empowers those minorities to carry out the self-liquidation of Europe.
Hey France, don't mess with FR! Good work freepers! lol!
Face it, the French are just plain stupid.
you missed California! ;)
"So eight French cops got the jump on one guy... "
LOL! That's a riot. Pun intended.
The lieberals just don't get it.
The DUmmies have completely detached themselves from reality. I sometimes wonder if they were born that way, or if exposure to DU was a contributing factor.
From the ridiculous to the unbelievably ridiculous.
The violence and anger we are seeing in the streets of France is a direct result of racist and classist governmental policies. Essentially freeperish policies.
They think WE support french policies? They think WE'RE socialists??? Those folks aren't just divorced from reality, they're raving lunatics.

(If what I just wrote makes you sad or angry,
Oddly enough, rioters tend to begin their destruction in their own neighborhoods.
That would be...er...let me see, the BLUE STATES.
You better buy a gun.
I'm SURE you don't own one already.
They burn down their own housing, and loot all businesses, then whine because they have no housing and whine that nobody wants to bring business and industry to that hellish neighborhood.
