France still burningFollow

The story

Quote:
Ten nights of urban unrest that brought thousands of arson attacks on cars, nursery schools and other targets from the Mediterranean to the German border reached Paris where at least 28 cars were burned overnight in the French capital, government officials said Sunday.


So they're torching stuff left and right all over the country, right? It's becoming more widespread instead of less, right?

Has anyone heard of a death toll yet? I haven't seen a single death mentioned in any of the half dozen stories or so I've read over the past few days, with the exception of the deaths of two kids that got electrocuted which fired off all the rioting.

I'm still waiting to see if anything big gets torched. So far it's schools, shops, and cars. Louvre, anyone?

I read about some lady on crutches getting torched while trying to get off a bus. Not sure if she died, but it's a great example of the values these rioters supposedly have.

I'm not particularly worried, per se. I'm watching this much like I do a football game. I don't pay a whole lot of attention, just glance every now and again, and keep the set tuned to it. That way if somethng really worth seeing happens, I catch it the first time around. There's not a lot of excitement in the highlight reel.

It's like they're actually hurting anything. When was the last time France had an impact on the world? They had to apologize to Greenpeace, fer chrissake.

Maybe he already has a girl! And she's a French anarchist! And he's trying to impress her! Ever stop to think of that, Mr. Smart Guy??

If she is a French anarchist, she probably has more hair under her arm than Mr. Grouch.

An apparent victim of violence has died from injuries after defending his car.

Jean-Jacques Le Chenadec, 61, had fallen into a coma after being beaten by a hooded man last week.

Tous les jours a la barricade
Je suis le fils du diable
Je morir de milles
Pour la liberte: kill kill kill
La revolte te dans mon coeur
Je suis le saboteur

Dans la rue destructif
Sabotage est mon premier motif
Vive la guerre, vive la mort
Vive la grande revolte

Allez a la guillotine
Ma revolte est la plus sanguinaire
No reform, No coup d'etat
Baise le monde, Saboteur savant

heh... also, thanks for posting an update on this, blasted american "news"
