PARIS Nov 11, 2005 — Police tightened security in central Paris on Friday with riot forces and bomb squads along the Champs-Elysees, and angry residents of riot-torn suburbs staged a sit-in Friday near the Eiffel Tower, calling for an end to more than two weeks of arson and vandalism across France.
The moves came as the wave of violence that spread outward from Paris's impoverished outlying neighborhoods appeared to be calming in other French cities but remained persistent in the capital.
"Stop the Violence," read one banner draped on the Wall of Peace near the Eiffel Tower. Some of the 200 demonstrators a small turnout in protest-friendly France waved white flags...

That'll show them!
LOL!
Yep, what they really need to do is ... stage a sit-in to protest Jihad.
A serious train-wreck is coming with that one. It'll add a whole nother meaning to the phrase "flaming liberal."
I heard the French police have now been authorized to yell, "Stop!" at the rioters.
The gloves are off...
How unusual.
/sarcasm
Kumbaya my Lord..... Kumbaya....

Like Dr. Strangelove, the Frogs just can't stop themselves from waiving those white flags!
So that's what they do when they get angry? What would they do if they got really angry -- lie down?
Stick a fork in France.
France and White flags.
Another sign of Truth being stranger that fiction.
"The gloves are off..."
"HALT!!! Or we'll stage a sit-in, all 200 of us, and we'll wave tiny little white flags in your general direction... ALL of us! And you really don't want to force us to do THAT."
Oh, for crying out loud. How silly can they get?
The mistake here is PROTEST!! Tear gas would be more effective!!!!
"Some of the 200 demonstrators . . . waved white flags"
I can just imagine all the muslims in France watching this and saying, "Gee guys. Maybe they're right. Maybe rioting is wrong. Maybe we should do more to integrate with French society. After all, we did emegrate from a foreign land. And then maybe we can work to build a tolerant, respectful society based on mutual admiration."
And all that from 200 people waving white flags. (to dream, the impossible dream...)
Don't they know that they are just sitting ducks for a devastating taunting?
white flags work like magic for the French :)
LOL! That's right, get into one big pile, no need to worry that some Muslim will drive up in a Buick full of explosives, they never do that.
A Sit-In???
That's one step from lying down.
