You think the average Frenchie will compare this response to that of the riots of the Moslems?Do you mean that the French police sat back and allowed the Molslems to burn cities, while they won't tolerate riots by college students and Communists? Hmmm. I wonder if the average Joe Baguette sees the irony.
"His government proposed the law as part of a series of measures designed to help youths in the French suburbs who took to the streets last year." I need to get this straight. Some folks are calling this anarchy, and cheering the police crackdown. This seems to me to be French citizens protesting (with agitation from the Commies and socialists) against having jobs given to the muzzie yoots that rioted last year.
Thanks for the link 1066AD. The Beeb has much more detailed information. Even with their editorializing, it is more than AP and Reuters has provided.
