True.
Sounds like a reasonable conclusion to me.
The French mocked us for having lawlessness after Katrina.
I think the student riots in Boulder when the city police started busting up keg parties were more intense than these French riots. You wanna make people angry, you take away their BEER!
Winner!LOL!
Don't underestimate what's in the video. There's a lot of fires there, several thugs doing their thing, lots of police/fire/etc. on high activity - and that at 8 days & counting. Videographer was firmly behind the police line. Officials can't keep this up without escalation of efforts (i.e.: martial law).
We see this kind of thing for a few hours, then it burns out. This has been going on for days, soon weeks.
Laughing and munching popcorn? this isn't a movie. This is real. And, if not firmly squelched soon, may very well become our problem.
(How does it feel to be the Israelis, ya garlic-eating Frogs?)

I was waiting until someone said that!!! I wonder how they'll justify the soon to be erected wall north of Paris, as modern art?
Maybe Sufa Arafat will head up Pali Part Deux. She and her progeny are legitimate citizens.
They're not going to last anywhere near as long as the Israelis have, if they fight like that. Mere children were assaulting the city and the police alike, with impunity. Police officers foiled by doors to buildings they dare not enter... huddled together in fear with shields wrapped around each other, barely mobile, in the face of what an average US inner-city schoolteacher faces down - successfully - on a daily basis.
Has the survival drive been totally bred out of their gene pool?
