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

Anyone know of others that are up to the minute or at least hour?

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.

It's the first reported death...

If this is the first death...Now that they have killed one, just like a murderer, there's no turning back.

Yeah...........I started to add it up, and it didn't make sense. It's been (at least) 1,300 a night for the past 3 nights, and that doesn't count the week and a half before.

Either heard it wrong, or they reported it wrong......

5000 is about right. When they were warming up, it was only 200-300 cars per night. They've only gotten up to the 1300 level recently.

And up to November, they had already torched 25,000 cars in France.

About the dead man: he was trying to put out a fire in his trash can. The "youth" wanted to see the trash can burn. He interrupted their amusement in watching a trash can burn.

This is where liberal nihilism leads to.

Now why isn't this being called an insurgency?

And when is France pulling out?

These so-called rioters are the George Washingtons of the New France.

Has anyone brought up the idea that maybe these 2 youths may have been sacrifices just to get the jihad going in Europe?

Here's a snippet from a story in the New York Times, so you know that the jihadists are going to get as fair a shake as possible:

The latest violence began in the suburb of Clichy-sous-Bois a week ago after two teenagers were electrocuted by a power transformer while hiding from police. Local youths, who believed police had chased the boys into the transformer's enclosure, took to the streets, setting cars on fire in protest. A preliminary government inquiry found in a report released Thursday that the youths were not being pursued by the police.
Rioting Spreads in Paris Suburbs as Angry Youths Burn More Cars (NY Times, Nov 4, 2005)
Isn't it quite possible that these youths were part of the jihadist movement in France?

The police say they weren't chasing the youths.
The youths weren't about to be caught and jumped into the transformer and met their demise.
It isn't like the 2 youths were shot in cold blood in their home, their mosque, or even out on the street by a sausage-eating gendarmerie
All the sudden, the youths are dead and riot breaks out in Paris and has now spread outside of Paris
It just seems all too convenient. If you think about it, it is the really the strategy that the jihadists have been using.

I can see the loathsome jihadist, crying crocodile tears, "You have killed our children! The Zionists are killing our children! We are only defending ourselves from the evil Zionists! We have done nothing! We are innocent!"

Am I crazy or does that make sense?





No, you're not crazy. I see your point. This will arouse the passion of even "moderates" to be wary. This could bring them together.

"It's a quagmire over there"

The French should pull out immediately

That is exactly the goal. Chirac is the appeasers' appeaser. Whimp.
