That doesn't say much for the current system.
I keep reading about these riots and now after a FREE election, an election by the people. Yet, they still riot because they didn’t get their way! Did they ever stop and think that the majority doesn’t want “their way.” They are like children pitching a temper tantrum, but in this case the rest of the country told them;
“NO, You can’t have it your way.” Now they need to respond like responsible citizens, not children throwing a deadly tantrum!
Yesterday, according to police officials, around 10,000 persons organized protests against Sarkozy throughout the country, mostly in large towns and cities. Most of these protests, like the one I saw in my hometown around 10 PM, were peaceful - and very short-lived for lack of volunteers.
Where the protests were not peaceful, the French National Police said it was not because of suburbs hoodlums but because of political groups from the extreme-left, who were rallying behind Anarchist banners. Given the fact the Extreme Left parties have portrayed sarkozy as the new Hitler, I guess these guys portrayed themselves s the heroic Resistance members - until they came face-to-face and nose-to-truncheon with the riot police.
All in all, 270 persons have been arrested last night, half of them in Paris. As far as “mischief nights” are concerned, the night has been pretty quiet.
Remember that the socialist encouraged her supporters to riot in the streets if she didn’t win. They, like all socialists, slavishly followed her orders.
“I really like her. She’s not a racist,” said Assetou, 19. “God knows I hope she’ll be president one day.”

The socialists don’t consider her loss a defeat... simply a challenge for the future.
Beware, FRANCE
The riots need to result in rioter’s deaths.
That would help put some reality into their faces.
This rubber bullets and fire hoses junk ain’t cutting it any more.
The unwashed and unemployed masses are all pissed off ..Too bad ..
Assetou, 19..yea at 19 she knows whats what in the world ..Spare me .
...as Mssr Ourad's keen mind was already busy juxtaposing the concepts of...job...50...couch...seemingly endless chain theory...
Writee failed to see the irony in this I guess.

If Sarkozy delivers half of what he proposes these ingrates will find out what good government is all about.
France’s archaic employment laws are set to be changed for the better, employment and national income should increase, and thus the nation will become wealthier.
If England goes Tory, Europe could turn out to be a welcome, positive force in the world.
Just don't head THIS way!
If the police react like last year,then yes the roits will be permanent.If the police crush the roiters the first time there is trouble,then I doubt we will hear much more from the illegal trash .
In truth, the rioters will get bored and go home to get a life.
Time to send in the LAPD?
‘Hello Laziness’
Probably. But Paris stopped being France a long time ago. All joking aside, the French people are mostly decent folk, but the Parisians are the ones we think of when we stereotype the French.
Thanks for your report and analysis. BTTT!
