#1 The European Court can start with the French massacre of unarmed civilians in the Ivory Coast. It's all on video and an easy slam dunk case.

Fat chance.

#2 I made a VCD of the French massacre. Any good address to send it too?

I plan to stick one on the local Amnesty office to shame them.

#3 3dc - If you can, get them on film as you hand it to them. And tell them you'll be checking back to see how their case against France is going.

#4 As much as I despise the French, the video I saw had NO evidence against those troops. I wish people would stop hyping it; the whole thing's starting to sound like an echo of the Moonbat Choir.

#5 Did you see the same clips I did? I make two assumptions about the two clips: 1) the clips weren't edited and 2) the cameraman was showing the most exciting/violent activities he could safely find on both sides.
Thumbnail: (fuller description here) There were three volleys. The first seems to have been completely warning shots, nobody hurt. A lot of the crowd seems to have dispersed then, and the residue were angrier and a few had crossed the line by the fence when the second volley came. Some people hit the dirt, some stolled away: the French were mostly firing in the air, I think, but at least one person was shot in the leg. The cameraman was in the back when the third volley came, so there's no evidence for/against provocation; but some of the wounded were in the middle of the crowd, not the front. The simplest interpretation I have (bearing in mind my assumptions above) is that some protestors crossed one line too many by the road, and the French let loose on the whole remaining crowd.
