Paris riots spread throughout north-east Posted at 8:20pm on 3 Nov 2005
Violence broke out in impoverished Paris suburbs for the seventh straight night, with rioters clashing with police and leaving a trail of torched cars and vandalised buildings.
Observers are pointing to France's failure to address deep problems of poverty and immigration, including tensions with its Muslim minority.
In Aulnay-sous-Bois in the worst-affected area of Seine-Saint-Denis, a police station was briefly besieged by gangs of youths while a gymnasium and a garage were set ablaze and a commercial centre vandalised.
A total of 40 vehicles, including two buses, were torched before midnight in nine towns in the Seine-Saint-Denis area, a high-unemployment largely-immigrant region. Police made 15 arrests.
Two primary schools were also damaged in the area northeast of the French capital.
The riots started last Thursday following the accidental electrocution of two youths, aged 15 and 17, who had scaled an electrical relay station's walls to escape a police identity check in Clichy-sous-Bois.
The firing of a police tear gas grenade against a mosque in Clichy-sous-Bois during clashes on Sunday also sparked rage in the suburb's large Muslim community.
You mean Val, the THIRD wife???
The French Connection, Jaqueline, the SECOND wife is the real story behind Joey's lying intrigue.
"France is being taken over as I write this.... Thousands of web pages from Islamists in FRANCE are demanding that Muslims riot all over the place starting this Friday.
The Chief of Police in PARIS is asking for a curfew at night time in all the cities where rioting is taking place.
He even said France was experiencing a CIVIL WAR...his words not mine. "

I actually like France's methods of attaining terrorists more than our own. They can hold them as long as they want if they're suspected terrorists. They expedite them through the system and remove legal hurdles to send them packing.
Problem is, France has become too depedent on the vermin.
Aren't you all glad we have Mexico to the south and not Algeria? At least Mexicans are for the most part peaceful, Catholic, and usually willing to work (even if many do free-load).
Allowing Balkanization=bad. Always. Melting pots are good, tossed salads are not.
Pardon my french. I hope I spelled it wrong.
This is an intifada in Paris.
Seventh straight day of violence? Sounds to me as if these people were prepared. There seems to be some organization behind the violence.
Don't they have some levees they can dynamite?
A very big question mark.
Last night I ate my car for breakfast.
Now there's a handy phrase!
ROTFL!!!
actually you spelled it correct. and i agree that is why I asked him to explain...I cannot see how there could be anything similar...
but some people do have brain farts and feel the need to type them out..
If you get a reply, ping me to it. It's cheaper than Cirque de Soleil, and I won't have to break my boycott.
I think you are absolutely correct.
will do! :)
If it weren't for Free Republic, I wouldn't know about the Paris story at all.
