I have YET to hear of one sobbing victim in France (Vanity)

I have YET to hear of one sobbing victim in France

- A GoogleNEWS search yields no relevant hits for the two terms "France"and "sobs"

- A GoogleNEWS search yields no relevant hits for the two terms "France" and "sobbing"

- A GoogleNEWS search yields no hits for the two terms "France" and "crying" yields over 200 hits, but they were about about the "angry youths . . . crying out."

For comparison, GoogleNEWS searches for "Katrina" and "sobbing" "sobs" and "crying" STILL yield 30, 123, and 1,190 hits respectively, a month after it happened.

Here are several from major media sources Quote:

Dear President Bush, I am sure you are aware of Hurricane Katrina. I feel sorry for they have only the clothes on their back. ... It made me cry. ...

Quote:

While American southerners struggle to rebuild their lives after Katrina, Vietnamese residents along the central ... A local woman, Vu Thi Dao, just sits and sobs. ...

Quote:

Coping with Katrina

... The weight of her world crashed in a spasm of wracked sobs. For the first time since Katrina flooded her home, destroying years of memories and possessions ...

Quote:

Hurricane Katrina has kept moving company Mayflower owner/operator Ervin Shull in constant ... of her old bedroom set and covered her face as she began to cry. ...

Quote:

"People called me in the days after Katrina hit and begged me to help them, and I couldn't do anything for them," Butler said, sobbing. ...

Quote:

affected by Hurricane Katrina were forced to leave behind beloved pets. As a horrified world watched images of animals being snatched from sobbing people's arms ...

Quote:

OMAHA, Neb. — When Hurricane Katrina victims arrived at the American Red Cross shelter in Omaha ... “The daughter was sobbing and the mother was sobbing. ...

Apparently there are no heart-wenching stories of victims of the riots. Everyone who lost a home, a car a business etc. does not mind it very much, and the rioters didn't really do anything bad.

C'mon, have you seen footage of sobbing families when a US bomb goes awry? What about angry crowds gathered around a burned-out building? Have you seen video of arabs angry at bush? French angry at Bush? Brazilians angry at bush?

AS NEAR AS I CAN FIGURE NOBODY IN FRANCE HAS BEEN VICTIMIZED. No one is angry. No one is sad. and 100% of all Frenchmen love Jacques Chirac and think he is handling the situation perfectly.

The rioters of course are angry, or sad, but no one else.

AMAZING, A perfectly sanitary perfectly surgical destruction of some 5,000 vehicles and hundreds of stores and buildings, all without making a single person upset.

Hey, at least this way there is no donation drive for the victims . . . .

I think the breaking news is a mistake but the post is not trollish. The coverage by the MSM, to the extent it exists, is sympathetic to the rioting scum. Now, if W or America could be blamed, it would be 24/7 victim coverage....

For one thing, Katrina was a natural catostrophe for our own citizens, they aren't as emotionally connected to the victims in France. One reason could be that they have to face the truth of the common enemy. They are still in denial it seems.

Not one peep out of the old media about the man who was beaten to death, nor the woman in a wheelchair who was doused with gasoline and set on fire. Imagine all the people that were hurt that we haven't even heard of at all. They are invisible.

The mass media in France has a stiffed upped lip!
The French realize that when they get their insurance checks for their Renaults ,Citrons and other French cars...they can buy a QUALITY used German car, or maybe even an American or British car. Actually, I'm dreaming that they have BRAINS...they will buy Yugos and Communist cars!
Too bad France is dying and they are too stiffed in their upper lips to even know it.
French had to crawl in the muck with Hussein...they have strangled their own economy with rampant socialism.
Their Muslim problem sees no reason to work as they get everything FREE...food, clothing,housing...and need not lift a finger.

Oh, that's just GREAT!

Now that you brought it up, I fully expect to see MSM Slimes headlines complete with photos of weeping women and children.

Thanks a bunch--not!

Beat to death? Burned alive in wheelchair? What kind of Muslim doesn't have the decency to kill the Koran way by BEHEADING. I think they do it in the belief that their victims will go to hell if beheaded...or just Koranian methodology?
