#1 Apperently French Prisons are below the standards of even Central America's hell holes. Make lots of arrests and fill them up. After this mooks have served their time transport them to an island off French Guiana and drop them off.

#2 You're young and French and don't like Christians? Burn cars.

You're young and French and don't like the politics? Burn cars.

You're young and French and want to have a mediocre job at mediocre pay from which you won't ever be promoted but can't be fired? Burn cars.

This isn't really about issues, is it? It's about wanting to burn cars.

#3 You're young and French . . .

Except they're not French. At least, they don't see themselves as French. They're Moroccan or Algerian or. . .

#4 Btw, the police had to protect the home of the mayor, with his wife and daughters holed up inside, which was besieged and stoned by a mob of about 100 Youths(Tm), some of them hooded; the mayor office was also stoned, and received molotov cocktails throws.

The fixation on the mayor is due to the fact he physically intervened to bail out a bus driver who was being swarmed and beaten a couple of week ago (the arrest was related to that assault, and the social workers say the police voluntary Humiliated the Youth by pulling his pants down), and also due to the fact he passed a municipal edict to ban gatherings of more than 3 Youths(Tm) (this was repelled by the justice system), in reaction to the november ramadan riots.

His two daughters were harassed at school, and he had to put them under police protection.

The background noise of french intifada.

#5 Sock: You're right about the prison conditions.

What's more, probably 70% of the prison population is muslim.

#6 Yes, usual figure is in that range.

#7 You're right, PlanetDan.

They don't see themselves as French.

They see themselves as Muslim first.

#8 "They see themselves as Muslim first."

Never forget that. Alas! The West is especially forgetful.

#9 My Ronco deluxe media bias filter trapped the following:

'Youths', 'youths', 'youths', 'young man','youngsters', 'youths', 'poor suburbs', 'immigrant populations'.

It replaced the items with the following:
'radical muslim mob', 'muslim extremists', 'muslim terrorists', 'muslim rioters', muslim rioters', islamic neighborhoods', 'muslim extremist'.

#10 Btw, the said mayor passed this municipal edict because there had been a 400% increase (IIRC) in street criminality since the november ramadan riots, and he attributed that jump to the (well-deserved) feeling of impunity of the Youths(Tm), who could rampage and torch whatever they wished to, without having to pay for that, since the official reaction was to cave and to appease.

#11 a5089, hope all is safe at your local. Last go round you were close to the riots. Looks like the young hate cars, keep yours safe!

#12 Nope, I live in a very nice rural place, no trouble at all; closest the riots got was about 30km, again a small town, but with a large muslim population (say 30-40%) as it is an industrial town, with some of my family living there, and this was limited to a few torched cars & trash bins. My brother-in-law family were right in the fire zone, though, in Paris ' "9-3" suburb.
Thanks for the thought, still.

JFM is probably parisian, or perhaps from another big city, he's the real deal, I'm just a poser.

#13 Europe used to have balls. Wouldn't it be a breath of fresh air for Europe to wake up and say to themselves, "you know, we've just had too many problems with these Islamic immigrants" and begin massive deportation. This is not impossible. Or at least, wouldn't it be nice if it wasn't?

#14 #13: "Europe used to have balls."

When was that?

#15 Pre 60's? I seriously doubt anyone could reasonably argue that Europe "lacked balls" before that, if one judge the numbers and ruthlessness of the conflicts it waged both on its soil and elsewhere. Even France handling of the algeria war was not exactly characterized by its "lack of balls".

#16 Algeria is a great case study of muslim insurgency.

#17 #14 #13: "Europe used to have balls."

Big balls. Dances, parties, and much cavorting.

In place of testicular fortitude

#19 All part of Chirac's plan to restart the French economy by creating demand for new French cars.
