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

Posted on 11/05/2005 9:39:59 AM PST by 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.

I'd love to hear some Paris PD scanner chatter.

You probably wouldn't understand it, but translated, it would mostly consist of messages that say "Run! Run!", "Retreat", "Get those guys out of there!", and "Evacuate the area!"

This thread is a good idea. I would love to hear some comments from Americans in France, and from conservative French people (are there any?) as well.

I dunno...

It seems like most reports comes out the day after...

CNN openly acknowledged today that they had problems reporting on the story because their journalists were threatened when they went into the suburbs..

Nous qui aiment la belle France pleurons, mais nous avions pleuré pendant longtemps.

Great link.

The writers understand clearly that "You can't beat something with nothing."

France is an idea that has been mutilated by socialism, immigration, and multiculturalism.

Islamic extremism has no such qualms about its identity or a willingness to chop off heads or attack the disabled on the road to victory.

In Patton's great speech he said: "Men love to fight."

The Muslims are men. The French are effete and effeminate.

The Muslims don't even need an organized plan. They just need to hunt for weakness and keep moving forward--and France will be there for the taking.

We should not get involved in this one. France already died. There is nothing left to save.

I find your concern for France pretty interesting, Dane, since you advocate unbridled immigration for the US.
Are you not concerned something similar could happen further in the future when there is enough of a quantity of illegal immigrants here?

Can't we get Anderson Cooper to parachute into the melee? With his talent for histrionics, not to mention the fact that he will be very easy to spot in a place where everyone else is Semitic, I think he'd have a lot more fun than he had in the last three hurricanes.

The video I saw yesterday showed a few French reporters get forced from their car. They continued to film as they ran from the vehicle. The "youths" took everything out of the car and torched it in the street.

The video coverage has been poor, and I'm guessing there have been a few casualties that we haven't heard about. Certainly, there are people who have died of heart attacks, etc. simply because the medical services can't get to them.

"How is the burning of an average of 500 vehicles a night going to hurt anyone's economy? Figure over 5000 cars here. At 20K a pop, thats some number that's like 100 million dollars. It can only help, as the French folks who have lost their cars now have the opportunity to buy new cars. Some of those cars will be American cars. They will need some busses and ambulances, too, from what I have read."

In my wishful perfect world (which seldom comes even close to actual reality) I would hope that ALL the burned car owners were able to use Progressive Auto Insurance checks to buy those replacement American cars......

Well chriac could be called the uber hillary, IMO.

I wouldn't doubt that the chirac French govt. has a filter of what news gets out, and plus the French peoples almost plague like aversion to converse in English, limits any news coming out of France.

Hoping that there is at least one French FR lurker, if there is not, I will not be surprised.

Where is the LIVE COVERAGE???!!!

This is the result of state-controlled media. I was in Bonn Germany when the UN was putting together the Afghan government at Wintergarten. The lack of coverage was amazing. No shots of the UN flags on every light standard. No film of the massive protests and marches at the Marktplatz. It was like living in a parallel time warp.

CNN, Reuters, and AP would love to be entities of the United Socialist States of America. We are obligated to prevent that.

Quite frankly, I'm getting a sick feeling about this one spreading across all of "Old Europe" and, once again, the new world will have to come to the rescue of the old.

OK, I gotta' ask.... How do we know this is being done for the cause of Islam? Sure, I'm get the clear picture that these are Muslim youth, but why are they doing this? The primary cause could be racial, ethnic, economic, rather than the fact these rioters happen to be Muslim.

By no means am I a Muslim apologist.... just want to be clear about the facts.

Best regards,
-- Joe

Get back to me when Christian Hispanics are throwing bricks instead of what they are doing now, laying bricks to build buildings.

You buchananites are in a real pickle about whom to support in this fight aren't you. Two Jew hating factions, the current french govt. and the jihadists, fighting amonngst themselves. Poor pat.
