France would be banning the Fleur de Lis as it too has racial overtones. Pitted in history as a symbol of tyrrany. But everyone knows that the Confederate Battle Flag is racist because the Democrats brought it to the South again as it was a banner against the Civil Rights Movement.

This story has to be in error. According to our dear-leader “...this kind of thing doesn’t happen in other civilized countries...”

Villeneuve-la-Garenne is only 2.5 miles from the muslim banlieue (hell hole) of La Courneuve (due east).

I just woke up to this so sorry if I’m not on the ball to it.

Have all the hostages been freed? It sounds like it from this story.

The shopkeeper should have posted a “This is a Crime Free Zone” sign.

I think the gunmen must have heard that armed special forces operators were on their way and not unarmed gendarmes.
