"It’s all about the government cheese to them."

Dead, I do believe you have coined the next great addition to the FR lexicon.

That's just classic.

It's fascinating to read the same information as they do, see the same TV images, and STILL the du'ers are so wildly wrong, entirely clueless, and smug about it! They sure don't let fact get in the way of preconceptions!

"We shall never surrender!" -- Marshal Philippe Pétain, June 20, 1940

"Okay, we give." -- Marshal Philippe Pétain, Head of State of Vichy France, June 22, 1940

Or something like that . . . Hey, it's correct in the essentials!

The French police aren't going to give in to violence? That would be a first.

Things are not going well when you have to reaffirm that you are not going to give into rioters.

It is just this liberal social welfare system that is the perfect situation for terrorists. A terrorist can live off the welfare system. When does not have to work for a living, they can spend full time being a terrorist.

Much as I love to pick on france (see? I just did), when we have riots in the U.S. we are the first to coddle the rioters with "root cause" talk, plus, of course, we have professional coddlemongers like the Rev. Je$$e to deal with. I tend to think we should start shooting, as I went through one of the Miami riots, and it ain't fun or pretty.

The french, on the other hand, could start shooting. Peaceful, beloved people can always get away with bloodshed because they're such fine humanitarians. Not like us. (that's sarcasm)

IMHO, I believe that Al Qaeda is already there and with a definite plan. Surround Paris then take it by storm. Those guys are looking at the high ticket items on the Champs Elysee. Al Qaeda needs the publicity right now for an upstroke on recruitment and show of force in Europe. I'd look for the boarding up of business in Paris soon if this rioting isn't handled, and I don't think it's going to be pretty.

I believe that number! The French intensely dislike the Muslims. They can't keep under wraps much longer. You are going to see the French Countryside men taking up arms and heading to Paris.

Its certainly not for social benefits the disadvantaged youths in the French slums are rioting over.

They are fighting for control of their neighborhoods. They want the police to get out and stay out. That's what it's really all about

The Muslims want Muslim-ruled enclaves within France. The enclaves will serve as secure bases for criminals and drug dealers, and will gradually expand. The Muslims figure they finally have the numbers to start making their push

Someone here on FR had a very interesting perspective on this yesterday. The primary culprit in all this is not the welfare state and its entitlement programs for these immigrants -- it's the "closed shop" environment among France's powerful labor unions that keeps young French people (native and immigrant alike, with more of an impact on immigrants simply because there are so many of them) pretty much unemployed through their mid-30s.

This explains why there is apparently a very clear line between immigrants from the last generation who have been gainfully employed for most of their lives, and their children in the current generation who have nothing to do but hang around all day and collect their government checks.

The French government mandates ridiculous work rules and labor laws to keep the unions happy, and French employers (including the government) can only stay in business by hiring as few people as possible. The "welfare state" benefits are the price those people of France who are currently employed (and generously compensated) pay to keep the permanent underclass content.

Looks like the system just broke down this week.

More like the plan is to provoke a response that they can whine over as a justification for their bomb/whatever attacks in France.

Friday is the end of Ramadan. THIS IS THE TIME to expect attacks:

Then, when the sacred months have passed, slay the idolaters wherever ye find them, and take them captive, and besiege them, and prepare for them each ambush...
        Surah IX:5

And slay them wherever ye find them ... Such is the reward of disbelievers.
        Surah II:191

I suggest that we come to their aid. We can load one of
NASA's external tanks with pig fat and air burst it over
Paris. That should bring them to their knees.
