Riots flare for sixth night outside Paris
2005-11-02
Violence has erupted for a sixth night in the troubled suburbs northeast of Paris, with police firing rubber bullets and tear gas as they faced down gangs of youths in Aulnay-sous-Bois. A store was set on fire in the nearby suburb of Bondy, France-Info radio reported on Tuesday. No trouble was immediately reported in Clichy-sous-Bois, where rioting began on Thursday after the accidental deaths of two teenagers.

An Associated Press Television news team reported confrontations between about 20 police and 40 youths in Aulnay-sous-Bois, with police firing tear gas and rubber bullets. Youths lobbed Molotov cocktails at an annex to the town hall and threw stones at the firehouse. It was not known whether the clashes led to injuries. Four people were arrested for throwing stones at police in Bondy where 14 cars were burned, the prefecture said. A fire engulfed a carpet store, but it was not known whether the blaze was linked to the suburban unrest.

Officials gave an initial count of 69 vehicles torched in nine suburbs across the Seine-Saint-Denis region that arcs around Paris on the north and northeast. The area, home mainly to families of immigrant origin, most of them from Muslim North Africa, is marked by soaring unemployment and delinquency. Officials said "small, very mobile gangs" were harassing police and setting fires to garbage cans and vehicles throughout the region. France-Info said about 150 fires were burning in suburbs of the Seine-Saint-Denis region.

Interior Minister Nicolas Sarkozy - blamed by many for fanning the violence with tough talk and harsh tactics - met in Paris with youths and officials from Clichy-sous-Bois in an effort to end days of rioting. But the unrest spread even as they met.
Might one suggest sending in the riot coppers to aggressively club the yoots on their pointy little beturbanned heads and toss them into the Bastille? Then you could aggressively hunt down the ringleaders and do terrible things to them. Just think of them as Albigensians or Huguenots.
Do they not have a single working guillotine?

#22  The French should not shoot them. If you shoot them the rioting stops and the troublemakers wait for their next opportunity.

If they are French citizens they should be tried for Treason and locked up for a long time and forbidden any government assistance when they are released. If they are non-French or say they are 100% Palestinian (renouncing French citizenship) they should be deported to Algeria.

#21  France should consider inviting the Iranian mullahs to live there in exile. Sheltering Khomeini worked out so well that this could be the big breakthrough they're looking for.

#17  The socialists are having a field's day (calling Sarkozy a "front national copycat", and saying the authorities should stop antagonizing thoses "fragile populations", lol), and so are the Dominique Galouzeau "de Villepin" (who's a man)'s boyz... the trophy arab "solidarity and equality of chances minister" (sic) Azouz Begag is targetting Sarkozy too, for the greater pleasure of Shiraq.

Again, it's business as usual, the undeclared french intifada goes on, and not only in clichy.

As a sidenote, the France 2 teevee news had "mediators" (kinda "peace envoys") going through the streets trying to calm "youths"... shouting the sweet melody of "Allah U akbar". I wonder what the "gauls" still living in there are thinking?

The gvt has lost the situation a long time ago (this has been going on since the 90's and worsening by the year), the authorites are overhelmed, even what is overall a minot surge cannot be managed, and is in permanent appeasement mode; the second Shiraq mandate has been marked with the start of the power-sharing with muslims, and continouus gestures toward islam, to get peace... before it was "limited" to subsidies and benefit aimed at placating the restless "suburbs".

As the muslim population increase, the pressure to get a share of France 's sovereignty increases as well.

Don't fool yourselves, I'm something of a nationalist, my heart bleeds for France and for the ordinary french folks, especially the ones having to endure insecurity, torched cars, assaults, antiwhite prejudice, racist gangrapes,... but frankly official France has built herself an "occupied territories" problem, all the while selling herself to islam (Eurabia) and so antagonizing Israel, that "shitty little country" which may very well outlast france in this 21st century...
This is hilarious! There is asaying in french stating that "the fish rots starting with its head"; in the case of modern-day France, this is so true, our Enlightened and Progressive (but totally corrupt and inept) Elites truly have led us to disaster.

I think Dutch cities (Rotterdam, Hauge first) will go Sharia first and drive the native Dutch into the coutryside.

#15  The real question is how much the French government is going to spend to try to buy these guys off.

#14  Fuckin' shoot the little bastards, and not with rubber bullets. Or just seal off the suburb and let it burn.

#13  Roger Roger #12, We'll stay on station...we've got enough fuel and ammo for two more passes down the ASB. This sure beats the hell out of the Paris Air Show.

#12  How about an AC130 taking a roll down the main drag in Aulnay-sous-Bois...

#11  It is time for some live fire exersices. Deport those that surrender or dump them out of a C-130 at 33,000 feet. Either works.

#10  The BBC has Sarkozy saying
When you fire real bullets at police, you're not a 'youth', you're a thug

#9  So, after 6 days, most riots do not last 3, is there a plan, is there a leadership directing events?

Interesting question. Viking Observer, reporting on four-days of rioting in Denmark, has an interesting quote from one of the rioters:

"We have planned this for three weeks. That is why only two were arrested saturday night. The police will cordon off it all. But we know the ways out", he claims, and then disappears, munching on a piece of pizza from Fun Pizza.


That it's simultaneous in France and Denmark is also interesting.

#8  In the way that people get fed up and irrationally and spontaneously release tensions without a plan.

So, after 6 days, most riots do not last 3, is there a plan, is there a leadership directing events?

#7  In what way is a riot not a declaration of war?

#6  and toss them into the Bastille?

Unfortunately tha Bastille has been destroyed and replaced with a silly monument to freedom or the republic. Don't remember.

#4  The longer-term problem will take mass deportations, and the sooner the French get started, the better.

Disagree. In order for western Europe to survive, at least one nation is going to have to bear the brunt and stand as an example of what will happen to the rest if they don't address these issues directly and forcefully. Personally I can't think of a nation more deserving of being that example than France.

#3  One: shoot the rioters down in the streets. Two: deport their surviving family members back to Islamic country of origin within 72 hours. The immediate problem will stop in a hurry. The longer-term problem will take mass deportations, and the sooner the French get started, the better.
