| Taxi drivers revolt at Paris airport over 'brutal' arrest |
| 2009-09-06 |
| Enjoy Diversity (guess the ethnicity/religious background of the rioters???). Incidentally, french authorities did a SOP CYA, and are blaming the police (sarko's "tough on crime" gvt has embarked on an appeasement campaign lately, with meetings with mosques heads and all, call for "dialog" with the Youths, etc, etc...). Note also that french rules about taxis are a mess in the first place IIUC, with an organized scarcity dating back to the gaullist planned economy, and that the taking over by "ethnic drivers" has been due at least in part to their ability to "raise" money to buy the very expensive license |
