France - Riots: Mayor declares curfew
Agence France-Presse | November 7, 2005

Posted on 11/07/2005 8:38:48 AM PST by HAL9000

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?

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.

Curfew As Riots Claim First Life
Sky News Monday November 7, 04:43 PM



A curfew will be imposed tonight in a tough Paris suburb to prevent a "tragedy" after 11 nights of violence.Eric Raoult, the conservative mayor of Raincy, declared an "exceptional curfew" as extra police are drafted across France to deal with any further violence.

It only took him 12 days. Is there a pool on when the surrender is?

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.

Yeah, these "youths" are surely just going to stay inside their high rise slum apartments all night with their moms and sisters, playing cards and sipping tea...

"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.
