I've had an internet account for at least 11 years and don't remember country wide rioting as is now happening in France, when I perused the Reuters and AP wires on Prodigy(an old time US based on line service, now out of business, I believe) in 1995.
Me thinks that the MSM are using the "worst rioting in 10 years" as a ruse to cover up a much bigger and dangerous problem happening now in France.
Right.
"The worst rioting in a decade..."
Why doesn't the writer name the riots and who was rioting? I don't remember any.
There really hasn't been any significant rioting in France since the 1970s. And I wouldn't even put this 9-day period into that group yet. If the police regain the streets by the middle of next week, and this grows...then I'd start to worry about the stability of the country. There are some towns, outside of Paris...where 10 percent of the population is Muslim and they could create alot of havoc. But other than burnt cars and buses...and a couple of assaults...it hasn't gone into 3rd gear. When you see these guys cutting power lines and setting fires to churches...then we go to the next big step.
I've been curious about who was rioting 10 years ago and what those riots were about. I don't remember it and I can't find anything either.
