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.
No problem, they still have some guillotines in stock.
Thank You!
You're doing a great service.
The action in France is chilling, it seems almost prophetic in regard to what happens to those who side against Gods chosen people. Antisemitism has been a socially acceptable position in Europe for the last few years, now comes the night.
Bring back Robespierre!
LOL!!!

I just returned from the Join Arnold rally in Anaheim. Warren (Cry Baby) Beatty was there along with his paid protesters. They scared a little girl who was there with her Mother (a teacher). The little girl looked at me with tears and said, "they said cuss words to me".
Shameful people. Shameful.
Relevance: No one burned a car or lit a handicapped person on fire.
Unfortunately the enemy may have all ready crossed the channel.
They will simply flee elsewhere, either in France or abroad, and then marvel at how well their "progressive" ideologies served their country. They will not understand or admit the failures of liberalism.
You are so right. I can't even trust the media to prioritize the stories right. They are all over the silly CIA leak, this story is huge.
And the way the report it....youths???
They do have a lot of practice when it comes to moving the capitol.
I wonder if any from the WWII French Underground are still alive? Those were brave men and women.
It'd be like on September 1, 1939 the NY Times top story is about FDR's latest social program and the German invasion of Poland is below the fold.
It's currently 12:37 AM Sunday morning in Paris. I've been here for a week for a conference. The US embassy put out a notice for us NOT to take the train to Charles DeGaulle airport since the thugs have been attacking them (the trains run through some of the troubled neighborhoods).
The French response has been nothing short of comical and purely French, ie, they're wondering what went wrong, how they had "failed" these poor, misunderstood youths, how Sarkozy is too tough, etc. Yes, they're really earning their "surrender monkey" badge of honor this week!
One dame looked at me in shock when I made a comment that back home in Texas, we'd send in about 5 Texas Rangers and the situation would have been under control by now. She wondered how only 5 lawmen could control all the chaos. I explained to her that normally you only need 1 Texas Ranger per riot, and given that this is France, you really only needed 1 Ranger per 5 riots, so you'd only need about 5 Rangers spread across France to slap some law and order into these thugs. And I kept a straight face as I walked away from her open-mouthed expression.
"..France has fallen, now begins the Battle of Britain .....W.C. Hopefully, I hear the sounds of Spits and Hurricanes warming up?
You are geeveeng me ze gooses bumps. That's just what I was thinking. Je Ponce.
Thank you for the report. Figures that the French would be hand wringing as their country burns.
I felt guilty laughing at the irony of that picture of the burned-out nursery school... Did anyone else notice the unscathed fire extinguisher on the wall?
