15 "youths" terrorize bus passengers in France
2006-05-09
This is the Google translation from the French press. Link goes to the original article en Francaise. Hat tip to No Pasaran.
The driver of a bus and several passengers were attacked Saturday afternoon in Pontoise (Valley of Oise) by several young people armed with teargas grenades which then escaped.

“About fifteen encagoulés young people” are gotten into the bus towards 14H and waited until it starts for gazer “the driver and three teenagers”, in the district of Louvrets, before leaving the bus to the following stop, according to a police source. On the whole, six people whose driver were poisoned to differing degree. One of the three teenagers aimed, more touched to the eyes that the others, was taken along to the hospital. The driver of the bus, “slightly touched”, could resume his work little time after the aggression.

The reason for the aggression remains unknown

The reason for the aggression was not established Saturday evening and the attackers not having made flights, it seems that it is about a “purely free act”, according to the police force. The attackers would be old less than 18 years. One of between-them would have been recognized by one of the victims whose mother must carry felt sorry for, according to the prefecture of the Valley of Oise.

The district of Louvrets where the incident proceeded, includes/understands “a little sensitive” cities and connait “sometimes problems”, but “it is not a cut-throat”, one commented on police source. The police force had still carried out no interpellation Saturday at the end of the afternoon. The investigation was entrusted to the police station of Cergy.

#15  #11 LH,

I got the same welcome riding a bus through a housing estate in Dublin, Ireland, once. The smiles on those cute little Irish bastards as they hurled rocks at our windows could've been on a tourism poster.

#13  I'd say the french get what they deserve, their country is going down the toilet due to decades of uncontrolled muslim immigration, and good riddance. BUT, it occurs to me that the muslims know nothing about making a decent Bordeaux or Beaujolais, to say nothing of Champagne. Me thinks me hath a paradox....

#9  BTW - this frequently happens in London - usually predominantly black street gangs/ some asian/whites also.. more a working-class teenage crime thing than anything to do with religion. Should still shoot them though..

#6  "Source of income: Government of France Welfare"

WRONG! Source of income: French Taxpayers.

The Government signs checks IN YOUR NAME. If you want to fight the vileness of socialism, then you have to avoid slip-ups like this.
