   I can’t come down too hard on the French. We’re still trying to talk “nice” to Muslim militants too!

   Why isn’t the MSM honest when it comes to explaining who the “youths” are? Is it because it doesn’t fit with the “there’s no such thing as the war on terror”?

   Not sure if the rioters are Muslims. There are enclaves of Haitians and other new world french ex-colonials in that area too.

   And Sarkozy is not above cracking some heads.

   I remember those riots the last time he lambasted the government for coddling them.

   Let us hope that Sarkozy comes down on these throwbacks to the 7th century with both feet - they need to understand that they are living in a civilized country, not some 7th century fiefdom - jail and or deportation as suits the crime.

   Do not tase me, m’sieur!

   The French leader vowed before his election in May to buy a Taser — which paralyses targets — for every policeman and gendarme in France which could provide a market for at least 300,000 guns alone.

   I’d say the sooner they get tasers, the better! This figures, though…

   On Friday, the UN Committee said the stun gun “causes acute pain, constituting a form of torture”.

   Your right about that Rick. Sarkozy has been surpisingly tough on these rioters.

   Le Parisien reports that they burned down a Peugeot dealership

   No comment here….too easy.

    #5 Yeah, Rick, he called them ‘thugs’, which is exactly what they were and are. The silver lining in all this is that it presents him with an opportunity (and reason) to crack down, de-naturalize, and deport those thugs who aren’t native-born.

    …a mini-motorcycle (prohibited on the road) hit a police car…

    Seems like a reasonable prohibition designed to protect the citizens.

    So, someone broke the law, a tragic accident happens and the response is to burn Paris? That’s just not right. May God help them all.

    The only thing that stopped in the 2006 riots is the news coverage, hundreds of cars torched every night is a not stop to rioting.

    The Muslims own parts of France outright where gang rape is completely tolerated.

    Why 112 cars are burning every day
    A year after the Paris riots violence and despair continue to grip the immigrant suburbs

    By Charles Bremner
    FLAMES lick around a burning car on a tiny telephone screen. Omar, 17, a veteran of France’s suburban riots, replayed the sequence with pride. “It was great. We did lots of them and then we went out and torched more the next day.”

    Omar, whose parents immigrated from Mali, was savouring memories of the revolt that erupted 12 months ago from his home, the Chêne Pointu estate in Clichy-sous-Bois, in the eastern outskirts of Paris. “We’re ready for it again. In fact it hasn’t stopped,” he added.

    It is not at all surprising that the rioters were well prepared, organized & ready to go… it is surprising (to me anyway)that to Police seemed to have been caught off guard, especially after recent events.

    Brooklyn Red - If we’re going to choose something to fight a war for, I’d go for French Wine. I was in St. Etienne, Marseille, and Paris (Corsica thrown in for a few days as well) in September/October and didn’t see any of the unrest that has bracketed that period. I live in Asia, with many French friends, and they feel very much the same as I do about the problems with France.

    Rick Moran (#4) is correct: I lived for about six months in a Paris banlieue (Garges-les-Gonesses) and there are immigrants from many ex-French colonies, both muslim and catholic (although mostly these thugs are not particularly religious to begin with).

    The problem here is not some kind of muslim uprising, its much simpler than that, which means that the solution is simple too and I’m hoping that Sarkozy will implement it: i.e., they are unemployed thugs who dabble in drug dealing, petty crime, and mindless vandalism. Solution: tougher and longer jail sentences, and automatic deportation for non-EU nationals.

    Since Sarkozy came into power it would seem that he is acting on this so far (19,000 deportations since he was elected) so I am cautiously optimistic that undesirables will be dealt with accordingly from now on. They won’t be able to riot when large numbers of them are locked up or back in their original countries.

    Mettez-les tous en prison! Too bad the Bastille isn’t around any more… Think putting them in the opera house that replaced it would be torture enough for these uncultured youth? Maybe it would teach them, something, too.

    FYI-I’m not trying to knock opera, nut know that people who aren’t used to it generally dislike it.

    Indeed, the Bastille is no longer around, but France retains two overseas territories that used to be penal colonies (New Caledonia in the South Pacific and French Guyana in South America - the latter being the site of the infamous Devil’s Island).

    Unfortunately if France were to decide to reinstate them as such it would probably be met with howls of protests from liberals.

    So you can’t shoot criminals, you can’t strong arm them into submission, and you can’t taser them.

    Apparently, liberals believe violent criminals have more rights than the innocent citizens they terrorize - who, according to liberal ideology, cannot defend themselves because private gun ownership rights must be outlawed, too!

    TXRose we have some fairly good winery’s up in Idaho too. Don’t see much of a need to liberate Europe again. gunslingerpartiot thanks for bringing up BBQ from Texas even though I am home sick as a dog today it kind of made me hungry maybe I’m starting to get a little better.
