#1 The first news we have heard of this.

Sow the wind reap the whirlwind.

This points to our immigration policy to make the USA "browner." I had the same conversation with a kid a few years ago. He was adamant, his race was "Mexican" I pointed out Mexico is a country not a race and that he was a Californian and a US citizen, he still insisted he was a Mexican.

#2 Colpart, who is active in anti-racist causes, confirmed that "these were racial assaults," and the attackers used "far-right slurs, violent and racist."

Ain't it like some far-leftoid to insinuate that usage of racial slurs is a right-wing trait?

He was adamant, his race was "Mexican"

Maybe you should've asked him is if was here legally.

#3 I have a friend who lives in France for 25 years and when he predicted this about 4 years ago I was sure that he painted a picture that was way too dark. Now I realize that he was on the lighter side. The reality is actually worse. Scary, France no more.

#5 France and western europe is rapidly deteriorating. It will either collapse into civil war or bring about a new round of fascism.

#6 I have believed for a long time that Europe at some point will panic, start mass deportations, and there will be fighting. As bad as that may be, I don't see the native Europeans losing that fight. Europe perfected industrial warfare, and as bad off as their militaries are, they can still out slaughter most of the planet.

#7 Scary, France no more.

To be honest, I'm feeling it necessary to think about this one. :)

..or bring about a new round of fascism.

I, for one, wouldn't support a third cavalry ride to the rescue. I'd be willing to assist/defend the U.K., but that's about it.

Ditto but luckily there'll be no need. As bloody as Europe may be in the coming decades this will be primarily a contest of wills. Once the growing violence wrenches the pacifist multicultural Europeans out of their slumber they'll be fine.

Affraid it won't be that quick. It may take one generation to get it settled, finally. That is as the Western Europe goes.
Eastern Europe... not much to worry about. They still have the centuries of fight with Turks in their genetic memory.

#10 Colpart said the scenes of violence were so disturbing that he could not sleep for days. He saw students being beaten or pulled by the hair. He stressed that assailants who stole cell phones smashed them in front of their victims: "It was a game. Hatred and fun."

Disturbing? Uh, yeah, and it has been for a while. But France won't lift a finger-doing so means they might risk being called racist and violent in turn, a fate literally worse than death to them. They will count themselves lucky as non-racist corpses as opposed to live beings that others call racist.

I can't resist mocking the French about shock and horror they feel about violence being used against them, as they mocked America for its actions after 9/11:

"Oh, certainly, you are overreacting to the threat...and anyway, with your policies, you were really asking for it."

#11 You know, this sounds just like the sort of violent crap that used to happen in the U.S. in the 1970's in places like Watts and Montgomery, Alabama. No matter how you slice it, the French (like us Southerners) are reaping what they have sown. Theyâre going to have to learn to assimilate immigrants better than they have been or they are truly well doomed. That said, they are going to have to really want to do it, not just talk (and talk and talk) about it. The French Left will talk but take no action, while the French Right will neither talk nor take action. Massive deportations are no longer an option for them, but neither is burying their heads in the sand. They are going to have to use a (dare I say it) subtle combination of carrot and stick to make this work.

Iâm not holding my breath.

#12 The best defense is a good, high fence. Start building defense around France now.

#13 "Europe perfected industrial warfare and as bad off their militaries are, they can still outalaughter most of the planet"

No doubt, no doubt they can. But will they have the will??? Or they would rather die but being humanist and at some point it might be too late to change.
Even in this country a lot of parents do not allow boys to play with guns. Will we have the will ???

I'd say cut off all welfare and unemployment for immigrants, then tell them to assimilate or get the f*ck out. They'll learn
