I guess this means they're seeking a new french word to replace "surrender". Acquiese perpaps?

[BillyBonebrake]

Things ought to be heating up right about now...

Lock and Load, Froggies. Lock and Load.

"French authorities vow they 'will not give in' to rioters"

Ya, promises promises.

[Petronski]

Just throw some over-ripe Camemberts at them. They'll surrender in tears.

[Rippin]

One thing's for sure. If they do manage to subdue all these freedom fighters, they will need Halliburton to help them rebuild.

[icwhatudo]

Maybe they can just give up the suburbs and have a free "Vichy" France like last time.

[uncbob]

Ya, promises promises.

How do you think all the civil rights laws got passed in this country

Riot inspired

Ya, promises promises.

Don't be so quick to judge. The French have a pretty good track record against un-armed mobs, recently. Look at the business down in Africa last year; the Ivory Coast was it?

What no one in the media mentions is how all this poverty and squalor exists in the midst of the French welfare state. Wasn't all those entitlement programs supposed to eliminate these conditions? And why hasn't it happened already? I'm sick and tired of the MSM droning on about "root causes." My ass - the people being hurt by this wave of violence are precisely the people for whom the French welfare state can do nothing. But that will escape our liberals here at home who think Europe is a model of social harmony. Think again.

"In many cases, the gangs of youths avoided direct confrontation with police, preferring to run away after setting cars or property on fire."

Definitely Muslim.

[fizziwig]

Hey froggies how come you can't give peace a chance, what is with all the meanness on the part of the police...what about kumbayah...why can't you just sing that at the rioters? Where have the flowers gone? The answer is blowing in the wind?

[SpaceBar]

Parts of Paris look like the Gaza Strip right now. Perhaps this is a blessing in disguise and will give French authorities the excuse they need to take out the trash.

"I will not allow organised gangs to make the law in the suburbs," he declared in parliament.

Sorry, but they have been making their own law for many years now.

[Hans]

Be still my beating heart, Dominique de Villepin is going
to rescue us from those beastly toughs.

[dead]

The French, as wimpy as they are, will only put up with so much before they start exterminating their undesirables.

They have a history in that area.

[goldstategop]

A country of 246 cheeses and hundreds of wines cannot restore order after a week. Maybe the French should start preparing to surrender - they're pretty accomplished at it.
