French "Youths" Riot in the Streets
Big News Network ^ | 06.15.2008 | Big News Network.com

Posted on 06/15/2008 9:43:47 PM PDT by Coffee200am

Dozens of youths and police have clashed in northern France, leaving nine people injured.

Around 60 cars went up in flames as youths went on a rampage in the streets of Vitry-le-Francois, some 200 kilometres north of the capital Paris.

The youths, armed with baseball bats and Molotov cocktails, were only scattered after dozens of security forces quelled the unrest.

The scuffles broke out after a young man was murdered on Saturday evening.

I’m surprised there are any cars left in France that haven’t already been torched. They need to send the Army in and kill all of the trouble makers, and deport their families back to some desert in the Middle East.

The scuffles broke out after a young man was murdered on Saturday evening.

Make a mental note: so-called journalism at its worst.

The essential ingredient in the story is not stated completely or clearly.

Why should murders cause widespread riots? Did the 60 torched cars cause the murders?

What?

I would say it is something similar to the big riots that supposedly started when police were chasing a “youth”, and he tried to hide in a relay station and was electrocuted. Somehow the police were to blame. The police should have let whatever law he had broke pass. They should have known he would run and end up getting electrocuted.

"This started out as a murderous settling of scores," said Nicolas Comte of the SGP-FO police union.

OK then; the result of gang wars.
But still no mention of which gangs. For over 40 years now, the gangs have been almost entirely immigrants who march to a different drummer, and refuse to integrate into civilized society in any way. To say nothing of the old law of nature: don't work, don't eat and die. The socialist state is the "Great Enabler."

pouring gasolene on the flaming crowds.
Ah Romance.

Rioting muslims = "youths," and 60 cars going up in flames = a "scuffle."

Thank you, self-loathing liberal PC idiots the world over.

The French media is forbidden to take pictures of the youth riots. (No, I’m not joking). So you won’t see pictures of this. They still can report on it, I belive.

The Molotov cocktails like shooting stars...
I said, "Peel me a grape."
You said, "How 'bout a banana?"
sigh
