Police fought running battles with rioters in central Paris last night as youths attacked officers with bangers, bottles and concrete at the end of a mass demonstration against a youth employment law that has caused a political crisis for Jacques Chirac's ruling party.
Trade unionists and student leaders said up to three million people took to the streets across France yesterday - the second time in eight days that the country has seen its biggest street demonstrations in almost 40 years. The protests, including one by hundreds of thousands of students and scholars who marched through central Paris, were mainly peaceful.
They were marked by a carnival atmosphere somewhere between a victory parade for the demonstrators and a funeral march for the "first employment law" as the ruling party prepared to begin negotiating its way out of the crisis.
Police fired teargas in Paris's Place d'Italie last night after groups of students and youths, some from the suburbs, attacked police lines.

Meat and potatoes, all around the world, the staff of life.
"....three million people took to the streets..."
Expect this same (or worse) scenario here if we don't expel all illegals immediately.

French Students Take to Streets Over New Employment Law
A new law aimed at reducing youth unemployment (currently 23 percent) by making it easier to hire and fire young workers has sparked an outcry of opposition from the intended beneficiaries. As many as 1.5 million people participated in street demonstrations to protest the “First Job Contract” law passed by Parliament.
Jacques Esse, one of the students leading the protest, denounced the law. “They are trying to take away our leisure and force us into boring jobs,” said Esse. “We need money, not excessive demands on our time.”
Esse contends that forcing young people into the workforce will have anti-democratic impacts. “Who will march in the streets to protest bad laws if everyone has jobs?” asked Esse.
Esse demanded that the government save his generation from a life of meaningless toil. “Our time and our minds should be free to create the new ideas needed for a new millennium,” said Esse. Esse proposed that corporations and the rich be taxed to provide stipends for young intellectuals like himself.
Asked what new ideas for a new millennium he has, Esse responded that his proposed stipends for young intellectuals was just the first of many he was sure would be forthcoming if he isn’t bogged down by a dead-end job and has the time to work on them.

I see you speak the language. Well done. Spot on.
While I don't subscribe the the "broken window" economic theory, there should be plenty of short-term post-riot cleanup jobs available, right?
The French Sh!t in their pants.
The more they have, the more they want. Ingrates.
It will happen here if President Bush doesn't get serious about illegal immigrants.
***Responsible Americans can help prevent this movement in America by volunteering for or starting Literacy programs in their community.***
Volunteering to teach English provides an opportunity to teach about America at the same time. It is the parents of these youth or need to assimilate. If they can communicate with teachers and community leaders, then there is a better chance that they can undo the harm that public schools are doing to their children.
