Go Sarko, go
You are already the leader of the Free World!
Start deporting them, Nick, and that will be the end of the riots.
When you have a major infection, one of the first things you need to do is drain the pus.
In this case, the pus is the huge numbers of illegal, non-French-speaking MUSLIMS who are refusing to assimilate, commit crimes, swell welfare roles and do absolutely NOTHING to justify their existence.
Until democracies start taking a hard stance by arresting and deporting these parasite scum, there is no hope for any of them.
“With this level of tension, it would take one small over-reaction from a police-officer to leave a rioter dead or injured. And then what?”
Then there are more riots, and you kill more of the rioters until they get the point that rioting is not acceptable and will be met with overwhelming deadly force.
Won’t happen though (yet). Instead we’ll see more hand wringing, appeasement, and weakness, which will inevitably lead to worse riots until real force is applied. Not doubting Sarko’s resolve here, but the whole culture has to move, and even Sarko can’t do that overnight...
