Rioting Spreads Beyond Paris Suburbs
2005-11-05
Marauding youths set fire to cars, warehouses and a nursery school and pelted rescuers with rocks early Saturday, as the worst rioting in a decade spread from Paris to other French cities. The U.S. warned Americans against taking trains to the airport via strife-torn areas.

A savage assault on a bus passenger highlighted the dangers of travel in Paris' impoverished outlying neighborhoods, where the violence has entered its second week. Attackers doused the woman, in her 50s and on crutches, with an inflammable liquid and set her afire as she tried to get off a bus in the suburb of Sevran Wednesday, judicial officials said. The bus had been forced to stop because of burning objects in its path. She was rescued by the driver and hospitalized with severe burns. Justice Minister Pascal Clement deplored the incident, saying it caused him "great emotion."

#3  Yes. And for my part I've made sure I'm passing the European accounts of the French riots to all my friends and acquaintances ... at least the ones who will listen at all.

Cut/paste or pass links to people, folks. Let them see what we here all know: how very selective the MSM news reporting is.

More importantly than just attacking the MSM: We have GOT to get our public to see what is going on in the world and to understand why we must act.

#2  What happened to that poor women should have been the trigger for a full out assault.But I guess that's to much to ask.Has anybody noticed that the riots,in one day,in Argentina has gotten more media attention than the entire 9 days of French Shame?

#1  It's on TV, though nothing new
Just rebels morons without a clue

Ask Sarkozy, de Villepin, too
Get psychobabble from the socialist view

The manic glee, the bombs they threw
The animals are burning the zoo

The innocents flee the hellish milieu
The cops just enjoy the view

Now it's monkey see, monkey do
Coming soon to a city near you
