Mayor blames 'gangs' for Paris high school night of violence 4 days ago PARIS (AFP) — Paris Mayor Bernard Delanoe blamed "organised gangs" on Saturday for clashes overnight near the Eiffel Tower between police and high school students celebrating the end of their final exams. Twenty-nine people were arrested, and 22 kept in custody, after the unrest in the Champ de Mars park in the well-to-do Seventh District that pitted police firing tear gas against "250 to 300 youths". About a dozen neighbourhood shops were damaged, and two police officers slightly injured, said Alain Gardere, who is in charge of neighbourhood policing. "I most firmly condemn the violence overnight that was carried out by organised gangs around the Champ de Mars where many young people had peacefully gathered after their baccalaureate exams," Delanoe said. "Such actions of violence must be punished with the greatest severity," added the Socialist mayor of the French capital. The unrest broke out on the eve of the Fete de la Musique, an all-night summer solstice party that pulls big crowds onto Parisian streets for more than 500 open-air concerts. Gardere pointed a finger at "troublemakers" mingling among the 4,000 to 7,000 high school graduates on the Champ de Mars' sprawling grass terrace who began hurling bottles at the police. Some 30 police officers were seen by an AFP reporter charging the youths with tear gas. Some youths then tried to set fire to rubbish bins and trees, before they were pushed back. "Photos were taken and investigations will be diligent," said Gardere. He alleged that many of the perpetrators had come from suburbs around Paris -- districts best known for rough public housing projects, high unemployment and large immigrant populations. "These young people had faces concealed with headscarves and hoods," he said.

Gee, how about a little more detail on the “youths.” Could they be members of the ROP?

WHOOO-boy, are those youts in trouble! Attacking Jews is one thing - cultural, don’cha know - but I’m sure Parisians will draw the line at trying to burn trees!

“Five youths released over beating of Jewish teen in Paris”

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “PARIS (EJP)-—Five youths detained after a Jewish teenager was beaten into a coma by a gang in Paris have been released without charge, AFP reported Wednesday quoting judicial officials.

The minors, aged 14 to 17, were held for questioning as witnesses following Saturday’s attack in the multi-ethnic 19th district of the capital.

The Paris prosecutor Jean-Claude Marin said Tuesday the 17-year-old victim, Rudy Haddad, was beaten by a gang after street brawls between Jewish teenagers and youths of north African and sub-Saharan descent.

The boy was so badly beaten by a gang wielding metal bars that he went into a coma from which he only emerged on Monday.

According an informed source, he is slowly recovering but remains “very traumatized” and is encountering memory problems.

A probe for “murder attempt aggravated by its anti-Semitic character” has been launched against the perpetrators, a group of six or seven youths of black African origin, who remain at large.

The prosecutor has confirmed the anti-Semitic character of the aggression and said anti-Semitic insults – like “dirty Jew” - were shouted during the aggression.”

Sources quoted in the press reported that several brawls broke out in the area Saturday afternoon between Jewish and North Africans and black youth groups and that Haddad was attacked later on the day when he was walking alone in Rue Petit, near the Haya Mouchka Lubavitch synagogue. “

The title "High School Kids Bashed by Youths in Paris" didn't match the title at the source and had to be changed. Also the date of publication was not 26 June 2008. The writer was not tufto.

All of those had to be changed. We're attempting to reduce the number of pulled duplicate threads. Please just use the published title only. Use the correct source name, writer's name, date and always provide a working link to the article.

Thanks.

at least the Jews are fighting back.

I hope the Jews are doing the right thing and reporting all incidents, protecting themselves, etc. They need to start walking in groups, in main street areas and in well lit areas. They should carry cell-phones to call for assistance, to make a report, to take photos if possible. (Good advice for anyone, anywhere.)

A good start to resolving the problem is to identify the “youths” — specifically by their affiliation, their gang affiliation and their names (if possible). Maybe then, Paris can identify the problem better than just calling the suspects “youths.”

One (legally) carried handgun would do more. Too bad the Euros don't get this.

I’m glad I don’t live in Europe.

Still yutes, to use a little Rush lingo here. No Muslims. I guess you can't call the savages out by name. We might get the wrong idea or something.

Maybe its time to cordon off the suburbs and let them wallow in their own bile.

Mohammed controls various parts of Paris now.

It's only a question of time before it's total war between the French security forces and the Mohammedan hordes.

Talk about a ticking time bomb.

Be brave when dealing with the trash, Mr. Sarkozy.

[Prole]

Yep.

I worked and lived there for four great years, but gas prices and the mohammed factor make Europe an unacceptable choice for me now.

LMAO.........Paris has its own little intifada. Charming.

Reap it, France.
