LIVE THREAD: French Riots

April 4, 2006 | FR

[Peach]

Post your observations here.

Richard Miniter was on FNC and said that even if an employee is caught on videotape stealing from their employers, they cannot be fired.

[Danae]

Socialism End game.

The idiots get complacent, expect the Government to provide everything, while they themselves sit on their lazy arses, waiting for the next Government check.

Liberals take note, This is NOT what we want in America. You like the idea so much, go have a picnick out in that part in Paris. Then we will talk again.

They are saving the water cannons for after dark....so says Fox

darn

[roses of sharon]

Unbelievable that the French gov would allow this embarrassing display of indulgence to their youth.

Sickening.

Cradle to grave security.

Gravy train.

good move on their part, put small squads in to take out troublemakers quick..

"OK you can laugh now but let's see what you'll be saying when the illegals march in a week and make more of their DEMANDS."

Did we have riots in this country over the muslim cartoons? No. Why is that? Because protesters know the USA doesn't pussyfoot around... we call out the National Guard and nip it in the bud!

CNN: Some chick with flame sticks doing cheerleading moves.

[demkicker]

The people who need to be taking notes are the citizens of this country. The MSM is fanning the flames of protesters around the world. Enemies of our country want to destroy us and the media gleefully pitches in to aide and abet. The media and spineless politicians are the problem, but we in the silent majority continue to let it happen.

The smell of a French riot in spring :-)

Is much more pleasant that the smell of a French riot in the summer!

BTW, when will the New York Times declare Civil War?

Thanks Peach. So far they've managed to stay on the other side of the river from where I'll be, plus, the bus tour to Normandy leaves at 7:15 a.m. and doesn't get back until about 9:30 p.m. Seeing as these goofs can't get themselves out to protest that early in the morning, I think I'll be pretty safe. Besides, I worked in NY State prisons for 23 years (uniformed staff), so I'll be right at home if they riot. LOL!!

[mystery-ak]

I'm gonna have to remember to set aside time on Tuesdays for the French Riots...I just love reality tv...

[Mo1]

Now the priest guest on FNC is saying this is not about losing jobs

It's about not having jobs

Ummmm .. Father .. maybe the reason they don't have jobs is because the losers are guaranteed jobs ???

French transport workers and teachers staged new strikes on Tuesday and students across the country gathered for street protests they hope will kill off the disputed CPE, a youth hire-and-fire law.

I heard reference to circus, maybe the flame twirlers and circus are in town. ;-)

time to bring in the elephants.

[newcthem]

From my research,currently a French employee can only be fired if the company is going bankrupt. The new law which is causing the riots would allow employers to fire an employee for just cause, but only for the first two years.

I see the plain clothes Clouseau's picking out particular perps and hauling them away.

[Peach]

Oh, you'll be able to handle them then. Hope you have a good time and transportation doesn't become an issue.

[onyx]

40% are without jobs?
Well, WHOSE fault is that?

[uglybiker]

...they could have waited until their month long on holiday period to vent.

Sacre bleu!! And use up all of ze vacation time?!
