The town had previously escaped the violence, the worst rioting in at least a decade in France. Some residents demanded that the army be deployed, or that citizens band together to protect their neighborhoods. At the school gate, Mayor Alain Outreman tried to calm tempers.
"We are not going to start militias," he said. "You would have to be everywhere."
In Torcy, east of the capital, looters set fire to a youth center and a police station, which were gutted, city hall said. An incendiary device was tossed at the wall of a synagogue in Pierrefitte, northwest of Paris.
That guy's a moron. And his solution is,,,?
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.
The mayor was obviously a collaborator in olden days of Nazi occupation. How long will it be before France hollers for
help from the outside world?
Local Militias may be effective in preventing property damage in neighborhood areas by creating a safety zone for citizens. Thoughts? Are these folks gutless or realistic?
For my money I'd want to pop off a few shots at the hostiles before they cut my head off.
Yeah... I suppose there would be some tremendous logistical issues for forming a militia. Where do you find rifles for each prospective militia member? White flags aren't a problem; but, you need the guns so that the Frenchies can wave their flags properly.
