Rioting In French Suburbs 'Well Organized'
Drudge Report ^ | 11/3/05 | Drudge

Posted on 11/03/2005 12:21:25 PM PST by areafiftyone

French Interior Minister Nicolas Sarkozy said Thursday that the riots in several Paris suburbs over the previous night were "not spontaneous" but rather "well organized."

"What we saw in the department of Seine-Saint-Denis overnight was not spontaneous, it was perfectly organized. We are looking into by whom and how," Sarkozy told French news channel i-tele.

The interior minister also said the government would not allow "troublemakers, a bunch of hoodlums, think they can do whatever they want" in the country.

A force of 1,000 police were assigned late Thursday to Seine-Saint-Denis, following the previous night of violence which affected about half of the 40 towns in the department, mostly communities of immigrants from Africa, officials said.

Oh BS !

They will not look into who and how because the collective socialist delusion that islam is peaceful will be shattered when they find out the truth.

Looks like they are doing it anyway, time to reach down and see if you have a pair big enough to deal with the problem the way it needs to be dealt with.

But......I thought the French were in FAVOR of these Muslim youth and opposed the USA in Iraq? Do these freedom fighters care about having any friends in the world?

(1) If it is as organized as the minister says, they are not dealing with mere "hoodlums" but a terrorist organization.

(2) Apparently they can do whatever they want, since they have operated in the heart of France in complete defiance of French security for more than a week without stopping.

(3) This is a test. They are probing to see how weak France is. The average Frenchman is disarmed and defenseless and the police cannot bring themselves to shoot people who are burning down businesses and shooting at them.

France looks weak indeed right now.

I think that the French will do what they always do - ignore it a while longer, then unleash a bloodbath. It will make their war in Algeria look like a walk in the park.

And they always hector US about being out-of-control, emotional, and undisciplined.

Also, if it is as organized as the minister says, then the party line being spread in the MSM and by some on FR - namely that this riot is about lack of economic opportunity and not Islam - is untenable.

The uncivilized Muslim barbarian meets the overcivilized Western European. If he were a betting man, I wonder which one Darwin would bet on in this survival of the fittest contest?

The takeover was premature, but a sufficient warning the French will not heed.

Like the morrocan said to the frenchman. We love your democracy...To Poop On! We are such suckers. There's a very practical reason intelligent people throughout history have marched out of the equatorial zone. To leave behind a nasty and brutish reality for something, anything better. Now with all the modern conveniences, the nasty and the brutish have an unnatural means to catch back up with the rest of us. The result is predictable.

If none have been shot, they've been making a reasonable assumption.

Learned from years of Jesse Jackson, et al.

Is anyone starting to get a clue that there are some groups of people who "do not play well with others"? Who should not be living in a civilized environment? Who cannot be trusted even to be competently selfish (as in burning down their own neighborhoods, destroying greenhouses that were bought and left for their use, etc.)?
