Sarkozy gets a chance to show his stuff against the 'scum.'

The yutes in the banlieus show their love of France... again!

[Carling]

By chance, and I’m just asking here, are these unnamed youths Muslim and from Africa?

[SevenofNine]

AH yes those crazy Islamicist where is islamic rage boy LOL!

[george76]

yoots ?

[Larry Lucido]

There’s a new sheriff in town. This should get interesting.

Paris's tinder box suburban housing estates

Damned country-clubbers...

[goldstategop]

Its mediaspeak for Muslim. No one calls French that term.

[Irish Rose]

I wondered the same thing - whether the boys (and rioters) were Muslim. Muslims are more likely than Europeans to express their displeasure through rioting.

Cue Sinead O’Connor /semiobscure

[rottndog]

...where is islamic rage boy...?

[Kid Shelleen]

Maybe they were suicide bombers on wheels /s

[Brofholdonow]

Reading this article, the “youths” could be Laplanders...

[Peelod]

Fine.

Pick up the riotoise - take ‘em to the Place de la Concorde - show ‘em how a real beheading is done.

[Fraxinus]

Some rioters are climbing up to electric cables to try and break them and put the whole district into darkness.

France mush have very different standards for electricity distribution, in the US this would be a very quick way to get nominated for a Darwin award.

He is being tested here. His response here will set the tone for the rest of his administration

"Reading this article, the “youths” could be Laplanders..."

Could be.

BTW, The Laplanders are in fact Sami and they don't like to be call Laplanders.

I just found out this summer that my mtDNA is 'V' which is Sami. (A Skolt Sami)

(See, you learn something on FR when you're not even trying)

[Tax-chick]

Go get ‘em, Sarko! He didn’t cave to the “workers,” and now he *immediately* has an opportunity to show the “youths” his stuff.

Dang, this is great TV!

[neodad]

Here we go again.
