First Fatality Reported in French Riots
Fox News, German News. ^ | 11/7/05

Posted on 11/07/2005 5:19:57 AM PST by HHKrepublican_2

Apparent copycat attacks spread to other European cities for the first time, with five cars torched outside Brussels' main train station, police in the Belgian capital said.

Australia, Austria and Britain became the latest countries to advise their citizens to exercise care in France, joining the United States and Russia in warning tourists to stay away from violence-hit areas.

Clashes around France left 36 police injured, and vandals burned 1,408 vehicles overnight Sunday-Monday, setting a new high for overnight arson and violence since the rioting started Oct. 27, national police chief Michel Gaudin

This has been going on for 11 days, and this is the first death?? There should be tens, if not hundreds of dead rioters by now. I guess the French surrendered on the first day.

This is too big even for the MSM to cover up forever.

That's what I was thinking when I made my original post here.

The MSM will always lie and alway try to hide the truth, but will they be able to continue to do so in the face of this level of reality?

I mean, France is their darling, and it's being torched. They really can't hide this from the public and get away with it.

(Not that they won't keep trying..........)

AQ did not set up the conditions but when the see a pool of ggasoline in a useful place they will throw the match and import more gasoline. The first 10 burnt cars may not have been at AQ direction but I am pretty sure AQ or derivatives have worked hard to convert this into the next offensive.

Don't bet that AQ isn't involved. They are constantly looking for new tactics and the Palestinians just taught them a valuable lesson... Burn things, throw rocks, pander to the media, and the wussies of the world will start forcing Israel to give you land.

The Palestinian tactic is cheap, does not require the covert movement of troops or personnel, and can be ignited and or stopped with a word.

The Israel concession just showed every terrorist on the planet that if they throw a big enough temper tantrum they will get free land and money.

Yes, nice areas in Belgium...the Grand place...but have you been outside the tourists areas?
They are slums being run by Muslims just like in France.

Belgium burning that would really please me.

This little shitty country called BELGIUM is the head quater of the EU....where lefties and anti_american,anti-Israel,Muslim lovers fanatic elite love to meet.

I would very much like to see the EU parliament go up in flames...( I must buy some popcorns and champagne...it may just happen).

Is France still the "Darling" of the Us EuroLeft if France is opposed to the Mohammedans? A crisis in loyalties may be in the works here. But if France "sees the light" and edges over to the side of Western Civilization I suspect the MSM and the Left here will jettison the cheese people.

"Copycat" because Islam is the religion of peace. There is no violent nature among the muslim.

These are all the actions of lone nuts. There is no global jihad at work.

Economics... Imperialism...

It's a parallel with the feminists and xlinton, arthurus.

xlinton, the misogynist, who uses women and throws them away, supports their leftist causes and desire to kill off the human race before birth, so they turn away from his glaring sins.

Same thing with France. The left will (and actually always has) turn its face away when it comes to anti-semitism, or any other problem they may have with France.

In the big picture of liberalism, France is an ally because they hate Bush (the bottom line of any current leftist). They will forgive anything, IMO......

Apparently the phrase "shoot to kill" means nothing to the Frogs.

I predict we will see at least 2 weeks worth of rioting before nayone gets serious about squashing the rioting.

Either that, or they will be out of cars to burn.

Considering how the left's Iraq war dead body count includes those who die of injuries sustained on base in Kuwait and even Germany, I don't think this death toll will be using the same criteria when it comes to noting the toll.

Maybe it is like New Orleans and we should claim 10,000 dead.

A 60 year-old man, (and I'm guessing here, but by his name, I would say non- muslim), was BEATEN to death by these muslim animals....

Beaten to death.

To all the news folks on these threads...get a clue...here is why you are losing your credibility and circulation. You omit the facts when they don't fit your view of the world...

You have, in fact, become the fifth column...the enemy.

This information is necessary for the American public and the world to see.

Time to stop making George Bush and the Republicans out as the enemy. The islamists are shooting at reporters in France too, you know....

You dead right -- the leftists turned a blind eye to the horrors of Soviet governance over many decades.
