French Riots Day 10
2005-11-06
Media hides real cause: they're Muslims and the French are not.

FRENCH authorities have stepped up police action against youths responsible for more than a week of urban riots as suspicions grew that the gangs were becoming increasingly organised.

Interior Minister Nicolas Sarkozy called a meeting of police chiefs to discuss tactics Police: We want martial law, shoot to kill. Politician: No, let's give them welfare instead... and threaten them with a few months in jail, that'll scare them. Now go out there and get shot at and catch those rioters so our magistrates can set them free from court on account of them being so underprivelidged. as they braced for another night of violence that has so far defied all efforts did I miss something? to stamp it out.

In a sign of the government's resolve, police said more than 250 people were arrested during Friday night alone, doubling at once the number of detentions recorded since the troubles first erupted on October 27. Didn't do any good though did it. Bring out the tanks

Nearly 900 vehicles were torched that same night, making it the worst in terms of the arson attacks that have come to characterise the rampages.

Prime Minister Dominique de Villepin held a crisis meeting with Mr Sarkozy and other key ministers overnight, as the rioting dominated world headlines and prompted the United States and Russia to warn its citizens against travelling through Paris suburbs.

Officials were "unanimous in their firmness" in seeking an end to the violence,But didn't authorise the use of lethal force so they were as firm as port wine jelly Mr Sarkozy said after the meeting.
"The violence is not acceptable," he told journalists.
But we'll take it in the arse anyway. Is there someone I can surrender to?

The prospect of co-ordinated actions is of special concern in France, given that the areas most affected by the violence are downtrodden suburbs with high concentrations of Muslims, some of whom have been influenced by radical forms of Islam.When Mussies reach critical mass it's time to jihad. I put a jihad on you, france!


The country is home to Europe's biggest Muslim community, estimated at more than five million, or nearly 10 percent of the population.

Here is the problem

Since the riots started, there has been evidence it has been fanned by tough rhetoric by Mr Sarkozy, who has been preparing a bid to run in 2007 presidential elections on the strength of "zero tolerance" law-and-order policies.

Time for the PC multi culti moral equivalence bit. It's all the gummint's fault, see, for inflaming the Muslims with bad words.

Most contentious was his choice of language just before the rioting, when he called delinquents "rabble" and vowed to clean their districts "with a power-hose."

It's all his fault. Mussies can't be expected to be law-abiding citizens when someone INSULTS us with WORDS. It's not our fault!
"It was calm for a long time here. If there hadn't been Sarko's words, 'power-hose,' 'rabble', there wouldn't have been all this," a 22-year-old man in the northern tinderbox suburb of Aulnay-sous-Bois said.
"He makes us suffer, he's a racist. He's put fuel on the fire," Fatou, a 14-year-old boy of African background, said.

Yasss, the real problem is racism. Just walk on eggshells and never insult us and there won't be any problems...

In total, since the beginning of the rioting, more than 2,000 vehicles have been burnt and around 500 people arrested.
A few shots have been fired at police but did not cause any injuries.

There have been no deaths so far, but at least two people have been badly burnt by Molotov cocktails: a fireman, and a handicapped woman unable to get off an ambushed bus.
A 61-year-old was also in a coma after being hit by an assailant in a public housing estate.

Brave jihadis, picking on the old and weak kuffrs. Way to go I'm sure Allan has some virgins ready picked for you
