It seems to me that people would tend to take a stand in their own neighborhoods, their own blocks, their own streets where people live that they know personally.
If there were bands of youths rioting and burning cars so close to my house that I could see and hear them, burning my neighbors' cars, I guarantee there would be at least six riflescopes out the windows on my little street alone. With all the guns supposedly owned in France, I'm surprised we're not hearing about enraged homeowners taking some of the rioters out. Maybe they are, but the French media doesn't want that particular message to spread.
Serious Question. Does anyone know where Le Pen is? Could he galvanize support from this? Is that why the media is ignoring him? Do his followers have guns? Will they use them to save France? Anyone know?
