Some moonbat on "Coast to Coast" just speculated the rioting was retribution for France's rejection of the EU constitution under the control of the Bilderbergers and Illuminati. The "yoots" were mere pawns of Darker Forces of the New World Order....

No mention of Muslims in the entire article. A new low for the Times and an awful disservice to its readers.

Police moral going to zero, getting tired fighting fires every
night and out-numbered by youts.

Police fear grenades and heavy weapons will soon be used.

"We’ll stop when Sarkozy steps down,"
This officially makes it terrorism.
Violence and intimidation in order to achieve a political goal.

It won't be long until the Left in America follow suit.

I have been discussing this with my French colleagues and I kept asking them why they just don't shoot about twenty of those bastards. Their answer is enough to give you gray hair.

They said,

"If we start shooting them, outside groups will start smuggling them weapons and then we're all screwed."

Makes total sense if you think about it.

What I am saying is that these riots are very French in their behavior: some property damage, no killing. That is the way French-style manifestations and violent social protests go.

"In Grigny, south of the capital, a gang of around 200 youths are reported to have lured police into a housing estate before opening fire with hunting rifles. At least 30 officers were injured, two seriously with lead pellets in the legs and neck."

Is this "very French in their behavior"?

'In Strasbourg, youths stole a car and rammed it into a housing project, setting the vehicle and the building on fire. "We’ll stop when Sarkozy steps down," the defiant 17-year-old driver told an Associated Press reporter.'

So what are we waiting for? Will Chirac rid himself of his opponent and sacrifice Sarkozy or will he call in the military?

If they're *dead*..there's no one to
smuggle arms *to*...or to have jail
space for, or lawyers, or trials, or
worry about after letting them out
of jail...

Scant coverage in the U.S. media.

Had riots been occuring in the U.S. on 100th the scale, you would have endless wall-to-wall coverage on every U.S. media outlet and there would be calls for Bush's resignation.

What are the rioters in France going to do when the run out of cars to torch?
