FRENCH UNABLE TO PUT DOWN INSURRECTION (Incapable?)

[FerdieMurphy]

Observers, experts in security and police operations, wonder if the French are capable of putting down this insurrection.

Only if they french kiss the miscreants to death.

[Brilliant]

"Seven police surveillance helicopters armed with high-tech cameras..."



Better not riot.... We're WATCHING you!

[2banana]

If only the average Frenchman had the "right to bear arms" but they don't...

[Brilliant]

"two civilians have been badly burned by Molotov cocktails. They were a firefighter and a handicapped woman who was deserted on board and unable to get off an ambushed bus."




Attacking firefighters and handicapped women, but for some reason, they don't deserve to be called "scum."

[HOTTIEBOY]

I would like to see those people march into a town in Alabama or Virginia and start destroying people's property. They would be happily met with 12gauge shotguns.
Why don't these French people defend themselves against these sociopaths?

[right right]

Rhodesia to Zimbabwe

France to Allahville

I need popcorn. This is fun to watch.

>>>Despite calls for calm, 918 cars were torched yesterday and 897 the previous day. >>>

Yes, isn't this the call for America. Just ask Mr. Saddam really really nicely if he'll not make WMD and bomb his neighbors (or give WMD to muslim thugs who want to bomb America) and he'll just go "OK" and all will be right with the world.

Chirac and the French are learning that there are some cases where talking sweet ain't gonna work.

[moose2004]

France is a political member of NATO, maybe Chirac will call Brussels for help. (immeasurable sarcasm!)

[RouxStir]

'If only the average Frenchman had the "right to bear arms" but they don't...'

French women won't have the right to BARE arms...or heads, within the next year or so.

[escapefromboston]

The French should pull out of France.

PS. Sure its fun to make jokes of the French but I wonder how we would deal with a similar situation in America?

[appleharvey]

Question: How many Frenchmen does it take to defend Paris?
Answer: Nobody knows, since it's never been tried.

[randog]

Why don't these French people defend themselves against these sociopaths?

With what? They're socialists--their government will take care of them.

</sarcasm>

[Thermalseeker]

Why don't these French people defend themselves against these sociopaths?

Throwing cheese isn't a very effective weapon.

This is just more proof that an armed society is a polite society. Remove the citizen's ability to defend themselves and the result is anarchy.

[SlowBoat407]

How soon before these thugs are called "patriots", "freedom fighters", and "victim of oppression"?

Time to change the name of France to "Paristan".

[randog]

...but I wonder how we would deal with a similar situation in America?

Rodney King/LA riots.

[P-Marlowe]

When they finally burn down the Louvre or Notre Dame, the press may take notice.

[Dallas59]

Special squads of police trained in special operations smashed through doors in a public housing project in the Paris suburb of Les Mureaux where they arrested youths who had tossed heavy objects, such as supermarket trolleys, on police and on a heavily traveled road.



Just damn. If the French police can't combat this.....it's over...

[GOP_Party_Animal]

I have to hope that this will bring the French closer to our world objectives in the long-run. Perhaps their population will elect more right wing pols and cut immigration like the Netherlands. As tempting as it is to simply say "I told you so" to the appeasers, it is probably better to cheer on the Le Pen types in France.
