LIVE THREAD: French Riots

April 4, 2006 | FR

[Peach]

Post your observations here.

Richard Miniter was on FNC and said that even if an employee is caught on videotape stealing from their employers, they cannot be fired.

[Peach]

Safe travels, mass.

They won't like losing that perk, lots of milling around and a few scuffles, wait until dusk they'll start torching.

....passing the "fleur de sel" seasoned popcorn....
Socialism doesn't work in neighborhoods.. why would it work anywhere else?

[NormsRevenge]

Fox to split screen, something Nascar needs to go to much more :-).

Dayside is discussing Delay with Kasich,, and Riots are on a larger window on the right.

[Peach]

MSNBC just reported signs were being destroyed. I just lost the FNC feed on our cable.

OK you can laugh now but let's see what you'll be saying when the illegals march in a week and make more of their DEMANDS.

"...but fuel is being added to the fire by Muslims."

Well that explains why they aren't rioting on Fridays...Jumah Services.

[mystery-ak]

Oh boy....now we have tear gas...

[onyx]

Oh, maggie, so GLAD you're here!
Keep the pics coming, girlfriend!

The fruits of Socialism, and its concomitant, multi-culturalism, unfurling before our eyes.

[Peach]

I've been surprised we haven't read about torching; have they done that in previous riots?

[Daus]

Hmmm.... I never thought the French had the work ethic or the stamina to keep rioting this long. Kudos to them! :)

[Mo1]

The dude from England said he was shocked by these riots

and hearing the news that in France there was a law that employees couldn't be fired

The FNC people keep mentioning this is what socialism will do

[bboop]

You want comments? What do YOU do when your children throw a temper-tantrum? You just let them run amok? Doesn't that make you a spineless parent? That's what I see.

Those kids + Muslims + Unions need to be: 1) arrested; 2) booked; 3)incarcerated. And what tourist will ever again visit Paris? or France? If law enforcement cannot do anything to protect its citizens, God help them all.

[NormsRevenge]

who knows why they were hitting on another kid.

more yootful exuberance on the part of the "Parisians" having a protest.

[onyx]

No water canons have been brought in ... yet.

[jackadams]

Ah isn't that sweet. North African and Muslims YOUTHS playing with gasoline cans. They can't possibly want to hurt anyone.

[Mo1]

They are bringing in the trucks now

[Roccus]

This is the kind of reality TV I enjoy watching!
