GalliaWatch : Woman Seriously Burned In Marseilles
2006-10-29
I was wondering how long before someone was burned in these bus attacks. According to France3 the inevitable happened at around 9:00 P.M. Saturday night, in Marseilles:
A 26-year-old woman was burned over 60% of her body, according to the Hospital of the Conception in Marseilles where the unconscious victim was taken. Three other passengers were treated for minor smoke inhalation.

Youts Adolescents set fire to the bus using an inflammable liquid, according to police sources.
Rat bastards.
Around 9:00 P.M. three teens, according to passengers' testimony, got on the bus by forcing the doors and poured the incendiary liquid. The attack took place in the 13th "arrondissement" of Marseilles, a district out of the center of town and "not particularly affected by acts of civil disobedience," according to the firemen.
So the youts are spreading out.
The bus left the downtown area en route for the northern neighborhoods, known to be more troublesome. The prosecutors for the city of Marseilles visited the scene and turned the investigation over to the criminal brigade of the Marseilles judiciary police, "considering the gravity of the act," according to a police source.
Apparently, she was burned on 60% of her body; public transportation is halted in Marseilles, as the bus drivers won't go to work in those conditions, and galouzeau "de villepin" has announced an emergency meeting on security on Tuesday.
TUESDAY?????
Monday's not a working day in Y'urp, lotp, everyone knows that.

#17  Marseille was plundered by Moslems in 838 and remained under attack / occupation for about 150 years thereafter.

#16  French media and politicians are beyond redemption and deserve whatever happens to them.
There are people in France who can be pushed too far though, and we may close to that point now.

The Battle of Algiers happened within living memory and all the PC and media handwringing in the world will not prevent a recurrence once the backlash begins.

The "yoots" should enjoy their immunity while they can.

#15  Marseilles, is that still part of Europe? Thought it was part of North Africa...

#14  Hard to beat this headline, even if you only know a little restaurant French:
Bus brûlé: l'indignation générale
-------
Reuters added this priceless quote:
"Apparently, they did not even ask people to get off the bus (before torching it)."
Napoleon must be spinning in his grave.

#13  Can we now admit that going into France was a mistake? There is a sure cure for these youths and it is called a bullet.

#12  This horrendous crime might represent a tipping point. Marseilles is much more culturally diverse than Paris. We may even see things take a significant turn, especially in light of how the victim was a minority. It appears as though the French authorities could finally abandon their usual policy of negotiation and resort to much harsher measures such as ...


Wait for it ...


Nuanced negotiation!

#8  According to wittnesses, the arsonists were four "15 years old" Youths, who throwed flamable liquid in the bus with the passengers still inside.
This might be related to an altercation the female bus driver had earlier. The victim is a 26 years old student from a senegalese background, she's in critical condition, and will bear "heavy sequels" from this attack.

#7  Interesting. Now it is Marseilles. Anyone who has read Claire Berlinski's Menace in Europe knows that she portrayed Marseilles as a model city of inter-religious tolerance.

Now even that city is being put to the test by the brave *snark* Jackels Lions of Radical Islam.

#1  French Socialists will blame the victim for "islamophobia." Can't point the finger at the protected minority.
