LIVE THREAD: French Riots
April 4, 2006 | FR

Posted on 04/04/2006 10:33:28 AM PDT by Peach

Post your observations here.

Richard Miniter was on FNC and said that even if an employee is caught on videotape stealing from their employers, they cannot be fired.

I think that was just a kid on the ground and other kids were kicking him. FNC on commercial. MSNBC back on riots.

In honor of Joachim Noah's contributions to the Gators' national championship, I shall refrain from all French-bashing for one week.

This is going to happen here if we don't make those idiots on the hill do their job and deport illegals.

The appeasement being practiced by the French is the role model for our own Senate re recent "demonstrations" here.

I'm hoping these morons stick to Tuesdays to have their get-togethers. I'm arriving in Paris on Wednesday, April 26th and staying until Saturday afternoon, then heading to London. I'll be on a whole day tour on Thursday to Normandy, and on Friday, I'll be visiting The Louvre all day, atmosphere permitting.

Has anybody asked why Tuesdays have been chosen as their protest day? Why not any other day? Why not every day? Obviously they don't need their jobs all that much if they can decide to take one day off a week to gather on the green and riot. They really haven't ingratiated themselves to anyone, and by committing arson and other destructive damage to area businesses, they are only hurting the people who employ them.

They are ripping out metal signposts and then using them in groups like jackhammers to break up the concrete and stone for more throwing missles.

It looked like some demonstrators were attacking each other; but who knows why they were hitting on another kid.
