Paris/France burns, Live thread (night #10)

[Dane]

It is now getting dark in Paris and in all of France(appx. 6:40 PM Paris Time), and if there are any French FR lurkers(lurquers), this may be the thread to post your reports about any further violence.

It seems the French govt. is impotent in it's response to what seems are jihadist thugs and it seems the American media has put a news blackout filter to what is really happening, so as not to embarass their heroes, Chirac et al.

So any news reports or personal reports from what happens tonight are welcome, and don't worry about broken English, reports in French are welcome also, I have no doubt someone can translate.

I really dread putting up a live thread about such a matter, but it seems that the American MSM is following French govt. orders to play down to what it seems is an insurrection.

Nuclear Missiles? On second thought, we better get in there and help those poor Frenchies out.

He said it was all overblown by the media, as was Katrina
in New Orleans.

500 cars burned? in a week...I think that surpasses the Watts riots in LA!
Your brother isn't looking out the window is he?

When they reach his house, just tell him to close his eyes and say.."Theres no place like home"

Le Car was the only car ever to be made entirely of compressed rust

Knew many of people who bought Renaults and Fiats during the 70's and those cars were total pieces of crap.

Education and hope always overpowers the ways and ideas of murder and oppression. I guarantee you that anywhere in the world it is tried it will work.

Yes, it will.

I just caught FoxNews top of the hour report. Two nursing schools were burned down! This keeps getting worse each night.

France won't fall into anarchy because the world cannot permit her nuclear weapons to fall into Islamic hands. It is estimated that France has 350 nuclear warheads (5,300 km range) as of January, 2004.

Does the Nuclear Club know the percentage of Muslim Soldiers in the french Army? I believe it is about 9%
They wont permit?....

There were 900 cars burned last night.

Heck one car gets burned during a sports celebration here in the US and it is all over the news.

Renault and Citroen...of course! That is why these poor disenfranchised yoots are rioting! They only want decent cars!

[LtKerst]

You are too soft. I prefer harsher reprimands.


I agree...A Mad dog can only be stopped with one thing.

A bullet.

[Plutarch]

The U.S. won't let France fall either because it has 350 nuclear warheads and a long range delivery capacity.

Yikes, excellent point! The Force de Frappe must not fall into Islamists' hands!

The British dealt with a similar situation in 1940 at a place called Mers-el-Kebir. The British offered the Frogs a choice of sailing to a British port or scuttle their ships. When they refused the Brits opened fire.

Link that works to Force de frappe .

The impression I have from reading these latest reports is that the violence has entered a new phase, and is no longer confined to "the zones," but is spreading to the middle-class suburbs of Paris, as emboldened gangs of Islamic thugs seek to make these streets their own, while the government cowers, paralyzed. The French have long romanticized civil insurrection, viewing it as quintessentially French; ironically perhaps, it is the one lesson of French history that these "unassimilated" hordes have taken to heart.

Churchill didn't care what the NY Times editorial page thought of him.

[mainepatsfan]

I think you're right. Let's see how the government reacts when the elites start seeing their neighborhoods burned.

Rioting in the Ivory Coast brought French forces.

Maybe that was all of them.
