Paris - The mayor of a tough Paris suburb near the epicentre of the urban violence raging across France declared an "exceptional curfew" on his municipality starting on Monday night.The curfew, decided by conservative mayor Eric Raoult of the northeast suburb of Raincy, was the first to be imposed in France since rioting broke out in the neighbouring suburb of Clichy-sous-Bois on October 27.
Is there a pool on when the surrender is?
What's the over/under? |
I had a curfew when I was a teenager. BWWWWWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
If this doesn't work, plan B is to tell them they're all grounded.
I would say about 6:30. You want to make sure they are safely home before dark.
Good ... now he needs to get medieval on these mohammedans.

NAGIN: "Here's to Mayor Eric Raoult...We will make no decisions before it's time..."
The last few days I'm seeing that the politicians involved are now being tagged as 'conservative'. It's the first step in this becoming Bush's fault. They are also pinning this on the most conservative (relative term) member of the government. It would be funny if it didn't piss me off so much.
It took work, but the frog mayor is making Nagin look good.
How lame, he's only doing that NOW!! It should have been the first order of business. (Along with live ammo for officers)
Remember how the media was so quick to criticize Bush's "delay" to fixing the "riots" after Katrina?
....the riots that never existed?
I'm sure those same standards will be applied here.
Heh.
I predict that tonight is when the bad part starts.
Why now? It's over for the French...Too late, too little...
"So, what time do the police have to be off the streets?"
That's the best line so far. That's great. Sitting here cackling over that one.
LOL. Does your dog bite?
My Pit Chihuahua will lick you to death.......
