when it reaches a critical mass, it could shift over into heavy violence, complete with serious weapons.

Repleat with single shot weapons firing cartridges with 12 gr. rubber bullets.

"Alright, bets on how long these riots are going to last? I am guessing another half week at least."
So how's tonight going compared to the previous week and a half? Is it still speading or does it seem to have leveled off? I can't find much that tells that.

It really depends on the reason for the rioting. If it's to take over France, it could be longer, maybe a week (if you think the French could resist that long). This isn't about anger over two kids who died.

Is that the map of France in 1940? The modern Huns/Muslims are faster and more effective in disrupting France, but the disarray in French leadership does remind me of the French government in the early day of WW II. It took only 60 days for the Germans to beat the French. How many days will it take the Muslims? One thing is certain, it's adieu to all tourists in Gay Paree. The Frogs should re-invent the Resistance, or have they forgotten how?

Me too...pass the popcorn.

Me too, and I almost hope the MooseLimbs win this one so the rest of the West finally wakes up to the problem at hand.

"Buy 'em a house in the suburbs and pay all their bills, mainstream them in with tax-paying citizens instead of ghettoizing them, and then you have equality. And just ignore the howls of rage of everyone else in the neighborhood who is busting their butts to work and earn money to pay their own mortgage and taxes."

Well, they did that with bussing and you see what happened to the schools.

I enjoyed seeing them take their lumps for awhile too, but their naivete is a sad thing. These liberals honestly believe this "We are the world" nonsense.

There is something disturbing about seeing someone of goodwill with a goofy worldview being pounded into powder. About like seeing Gomer Pyle have his feelings hurt in the old television series.

I feel bad for them, even though there's no denying that they have it coming.

I'm wondering if other US cities had the same type of order as our "Sanders decree" in Pittsburgh, where a judge settled an affirmative action complaint by ordering the city to buy expensive homes in suburban areas to give to former dwellers in public housing.

Until the French authorities put defending their country over appeasing invaders and actually fight back. In other words, don't hold your breath.

This is really bad news. Its is like when someone lets their kid get away with murder for a while, then decides to crack the whip and get him under control. The potential for "overshoot" and "over-reaction" are very high right now.

And we know how the Godless Europeans act when they decide to eliminate an "undesirable" element.

I cannot believe they are just letting this happen: declare marshal law, put the military on the streets and shoot anyone who is out after curfew.

Amazing. FWIIW, sschu

I think that the French have waited too long to respond in force now.

Because whatever they do from this point on will be wrong, in the eyes of the media. If they do nothing, the mediaill criticsize them for being weak. A strong response will get them the, "they were too butal" hammering from the media.

The moose limbs have used the same tactics against them that they used against the Israelis in gaza and the communists in the U.S. used against the police.

To wit: Have "young" people manufacture an excuse to riot and then do whatever it takes to get a strong response from the police. Then the media begins hammering the police for their "brutal" actions against peaceful demonestrators who were only venting their frustrations in a peaceful manner.
