French Insurgents Riot
Freedom Fighters Union of France

LE BLANC MESNIL, France — Small, mobile groups of freedom fighting French Insurgents hit Paris' riot-shaken suburbs with waves of arson attacks, torching hundreds of cars, as unrest entered its second week Friday and spread to other towns in France.

Car torchings by freedom fighter Insurgents are a daily fact of life in France's tough suburbs, with thousands burned each month, police say. Police intelligence has recorded nearly 70,000 incidents of urban violence this year.

The unrest has laid bare discontent simmering in suburbs and among immigrant families who feel trapped by poverty, unemployment, and poor education.

France's Muslim population, estimated at 5 million, is Western Europe's largest and they often complain of police harassment, job discrimination, and me.

Some 1,300 riot police fanned out overnight across Seine-Saint-Denis, as the unrest entered its second week and followed Prime Minister Dominique de Villepin's (search) vow Thursday to restore order.

"I will not accept organized Insurgents making the law in France. This is my France, not theirs." Villepin said at the Senate in between emergency meetings called over the riots.

Right. Maybe this will be good for France. It's an opportunity to get rid of their oppressive dictatorship, and replace it with a freedom loving democratic government. In fact, if it works in France, it might be an example for all of Europe.

I just feel bad for all the Americans who moved to France after Bush was reelected. I hope they are OK.

I wouldn't be too surprised if some of them are behind this.

"What does that mean, and me?"

I think he is saying that the Muzzies object to "me"(him) because he is not a muzzie.

Back in the 1990s, the French sneered at America for the Los Angeles riots. As the Chicago Sun-Times reported in 1992: "the consensus of French pundits is that something on the scale of the Los Angeles riots could not happen here, mainly because France is a more humane, less racist place with a much stronger commitment to social welfare programs." President Mitterrand, the Washington Post reported in 1992, blamed the riots on the "conservative society" that Presidents Reagan and Bush had created and said France is different because it "is the country where the level of social protection is the highest in the world." quoted from Instapundit.

Insurgents? Call them resistance, just like stinking French call the Iraq terrorists as resistance. Also praise for Basque resistance to resist illegal occupation by the imperialist France. Call it another Algeria Independence War, an endless and muddy war just like the stinking French call the Iraq War another Vietnam while it isn't. I guess France is paying back their sins for the hypocracy they have done for centuries, colonizing countries, and oppsoing the liberation wars lead by America. Let France go anarchy and cease to exist, replaced by republic of Basque. Tell Europe that Jihad is spreading, and the days for stinking liberals are over, soon to be the dark age for the people to obey Sharia law and have death penalty laws they have rejected for decades.

The French aren't worried about this rioting. The Maginot Line will protect them.

And rightfully so. I have travelled in France since the 1970's and it has been painfully clear to me that the French are "pleine de merde" when it comes to their own racism. Racism is deeply rooted in French culture and is the source of their (unearned) sense of "superiority." The riots have held the mirror up and the frogs don't like what they see. They won't change. They will figure out ways to rationalize and evade the hard facts they have been confronted with. The are dhimmis in their own country.

With luck: France's Muslim population, estimated at 5 million, will hopefully be getting much smaller once the:




get called in.

Someone was calling them Paristinians on another thread. Perhaps France should concede land to these "freedom fighting insurgents" (gag reflex activated!).

There is nothing about this situation that a few massive welfare payments won't solve.

And midnight basketball. Don't forget the midnight basketball.

We're all way off base. We need to send Jimmy Carter over there immediately and he can free the hostages of Paris.
