Casino was in Basel, I read. And one in Geneva was robbed too. Surely the Swiss have armed guards at the casinos?

"Asian" is Euro code speak for MUSLIM.

No it's not. Pay closer attention. It's British speak for Pakistanis. France's problem comes mostly from Muslim Africans.

By French law, casinos are located only at natural water sources.

(Insert urinal joke).

Don't worry about Albion - his sense of humor doesn't exist.

I can’t believe it. I went to school for a while in Grenoble, and it was a proud and somewhat snobby city with very few foreigners when I lived there. Plenty of skiing tourists. How it has changed.

Reading about it here (French article) http://www.la-croix.com/article/index.jsp?docId=2432857&rubId=4076

I see that for a while, in the environs of Grenoble, people have been tortured and beat up for their bank cards, attacked for refusing to give a “Youth” a cigarette, or simply being attacked for being handicapped. Deaths due to a violent drug trade, and one 70-year-old killed for his wallet.

They say this type of thing has migrated from Paris and Lyon to virtually every city in the country. They mention the “very young youths” as being the cause, and the fact that they seem to live “segregated” by space and culture from the rest of France, but there must be some kind of unbreakable journalistic creed to disallow reporters from saying the M-word.
