British WWI tombs smashed in N France |
2003-12-04 |
The graves of 10 British soldiers killed during World War I were vandalised last weekend in a military cemetery near this northern French town, police said Tuesday. Their tombstones were broken or pulled out of the ground and some were stolen, police said. The site, the Hibers Trench cemetery, is managed by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission and holds the remains of 133 British and three Canadians soldiers, most of them killed during a German offensive in the area in April 1917. Police said they had taken shoe prints from near the desecrated graves and were looking for the perpertrators. |

#6 Now, we have no idea if this was done my Islamists. It just as easily could have been your average, run-of-the-mill French bigot. |

#5 Good to see the gendarmes are on the case...again. They've been really good at finding the perps the last six or eight or ten times this shit has happened. Oh, wait. No, they haven't. I, of course, am shocked by that. |

#3 If the French don't start fumigating their Mosques more often, they're going to be over-run with non-native vermin. They would have to locate their spines first. Otherwise france is sooner or later going to be a muslim nation. Probably sooner. |

#2 If the French don't start fumigating their Mosques more often, they're going to be over-run with non-native vermin. I can put up with the native French version, but these imported Arab vermin need to be exterminated. |

#1 I guess the Islamists have found some more "soft" targets. |
