Paris/France burns, Live Thread Night #10
This is the live thread of the riots and mayhem happening in Paris/France. Any first hand reports or media reports(French or European TV or radio, etc.) of todays and tonights developments are welcome.
What is it there now? About 3:00 p.m.??
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.
Whwn will the burn down EuroDisney?
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.

"Well stop when Sarkozy steps down,"This officially makes it terrorism.
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.
"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"?
They shouldn't be *arresting* these
Violent Insurrectonists..They should
be shooting them all dead.
'In Strasbourg, youths stole a car and rammed it into a housing project, setting the vehicle and the building on fire. "Well 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?
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?
Gee, there's a clever idea! It only took them a week and a half the think of it, too.
It seems like the thugs are trying to top the # of cars they burn each night.
FYI Chirac:
Now would not be a good time to flush a Koran down a toilet.
Hummmm....why would these "poor, disaffected youths" be burning down CHRISTIAN churches? Inquiring minds want to know...but the press doesn't.
I dont understand the total lack of coverage indicating any police action.
Are the riots so bad that the police is incapacitated?
The french need to call out the military right away in such a case. Dithering any longer is just plain criminal on the part of the govt.
There's still no curfew?!?
What I find interesting is the confluence of media ignorance.
The police were not shot at with 'hunting rifles' they were shot with a birdshot loaded shotgun. Huge difference....and the reason that there were wounds rather than fatalities.
