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.
That's just sickening. There have to be at least 30 buses in that picture.
Frickin French, if they knew they were going to be overrun, why did they stock pile nuclear weapons? And don't forget their nuclear power plants.
You raise a very good point. I hope they have carefully vetted the personnel with access to their nuclear arsonal.
Pictures people won't see in the American MSM.
Will this spread to French Canada (Quebec) I wonder?
As others have said, perhaps, we should stop using the term "rioters" and call them what they are, insurgents.
I wonder if this will be covered at all on the talk shows tomorrow?
Last I heard it was closer to 21 percent.
LL, are these tonight's pix?
I read earlier that it was 23% of new recruits. It didn't give any over all percentages.
France is in big trouble. And so are we.
Fox might. I was looking over at DU to see what they think about what is happening in France(silly move on my part, DUmmies don't think) and they are all happy that Chappaquidick ted is going to be schmoozing with timmy russert tomorrow.
I keep thinking of the genius of our Founding Father's 2nd Amendment....
They don't want consessions, they want the world free of living Infidels.
I was in Quebec the night of the last secession vote. I got nervous when it looked like the ordinance might have passed.
Except that Argentina looks like Spring Break in Daytona by comparison.
Fifteen percent ? Loyalty issues emerging.

They probably can't understand why the muslims would be rioting since France doesn't have troops in Iraq.
Agreed...
