Second Night Of Riots Rock Paris Suburbs

The Guardian (U.K.):

Dozens of youths descended on Villiers-le-Bel on Sunday evening, torching the police station, looting shops and setting cars and dustbins on fire. The police station in neighbouring Arnouville was ransacked, as well as at least one petrol station, in more than six hours of violence.

Nine people were arrested yesterday morning, according to police.

OK lets see. jobless youth who get goverment checks for doing nothing. The goverment wants them to get a job so the youths are rioting, saying it is about 2 guys on a motorcycle that ran into a police car and died. The are using gasoline bombs and some say hunting rifles. Why in the name of God or any other diety are the police using rubber bullets?

Viva la France!

I guess this (so far) qualifies in the history books as 3 years of sporadic, intense racial rioting in France.

Do you think they might have a problem?

Better keep the Puegots and Renaults in the garage and keep up the insurance payments!

Two teenagers died when their bicycle hits a police car.
Note: NOT "police cars hits the bicycle"

Results: sixty policemen injured, tremendous property loss, looting. Also some of these morons burned a school and a supermarket. Nice.

Here's a solution:

Arrest all those who participated. Deport those who are not citizens.
For those who support this kind of expression: please volunteer to host those in your homes and neighborhoods.
Please post your emails. I will forward these to the mayor of Villiers-le-Bel and Val-d'Oise.
Thank you

Now is the time for Sarko to show his mettle.

He was largely elected on a promise to get tough with immigrants and their progeny.
Well, lets see if it was bullshit or not.

Otherwise, France will turn into another Holland where people get killed and beaten regularly for saying anything that Islamicists disapprove of.

I don't know how Sarkozy got into power but his party lost big time. Seems like the US was helping him along because we needed another friend over there. And as for the youth rioting is what you get when you have 2 classes
of people. Shame on them. A country should always work for the betterment of all their people. But hold on, we are working our way there too now, so don't think it is just over there!!!

The Moslems already have a firm foothold throughout Western Europe. Their mosques in Britain already have more worshipers than all of the churches combined. Their birthrates are much higher than those of white Europeans. Birthrates among white Europeans are well below replacement levels. Illegal immigration into Western Europe from North Africa and the Middle East is unlikely drop to zero. Who still wants to own the Euro?

In a generation or two, I doubt that young Moslems in Western Europe will want to continue paying high taxes to support old, white Europeans in their expensive retirements. No more retiring at age 50 or 55 or 60, with nice cushy government pensions. Things will definitely NOT be good for the Jews.

I have read the comments posted here and can only conclude that most of the contributors are sadly ill informed.

In France there are no race relations laws as the official view is that there is no racism in France and that laws to prevent what does not exist are pointless.

There is no legal aid for an accused person if they are unemployed or their income is below the minimum “smic”, if they are lucky, they might be able to find a student advocate who will represent them in court, but if not, then there is no chance of what we would call justice. Yet the Catholic White French, the rich and employed are given legal aid as it is argued that they pay taxes and therefore are allowed to get something back from the state.

In France even a forth generation immigrant, of whatever colour, is defined as an immigrant and unless you are white AND French born, you will never ever be seen as a Frenchman, nor will your children or your grandchildren.

In France an employer does not have to employ you or even interview you if your name is not French, there are no laws to prevent this discrimination, as discrimination does not officially exist in law.

In France it is illegal to cut off a persons water and electricity for non payment during the months of November and March, but this year many thousands of households in the poor districts have been cut off during the summer months and now live without electricity and only have water by either buying expensive bottled water or collecting water from the public pump in buckets or bottles.

80 Gendarmes were injured.

France wouldn't fight them "over there" so now it's on the French street.

any slight expression of discontent by the french people is open season for chickenshit racists who are so scared of muslims they think a couple of burnt tires is the end of christian civilization. what wimps! no wonder they lose wars to these kids- and thank the god of us christians for denying american fascism it's plan of muslim oppression.. illiterate conservative simpletons: get this.. immigrants to america and france are AMERICANS and FRENCHMEN, respectively. they don't work because you work for them, and because you do- you live better than them. so dry up, saps. go pound a fencepost in the rio grand or something your scaly little reptilian social identity can handle. you are far too dim to be commenting on french domestic affairs. especially don't be smearing the racist shit from your mouth on the french people. james baldwin- as if you know who that is- went to france to escape you.

Sarcozy is a chicken shit

Hiding out behind totalitarian forces in china.

1 little neighborhood is upset and the chicken shit is shaking in his boots behind thugs.

Imagine if it was something even larger. he'd probably beg and or bribe someone else to deal with the problem instead of himself.
