Fourth night of riots in Paris

Interior Minister Nicolas Sarkozy on Monday defended his tough crime policies against claims they helped increase tension after a fourth night of rioting in a Paris suburb in which tear gas was fired into a mosque.

Youths hurled rocks and set fire to cars in the northeastern Clichy-sous-Bois suburb of the French capital, where many immigrants and poor families live in high-rise housing estates notorious for youth violence. ...French television said six police officers were hurt and 11 people arrested in violence partly fueled by the incident at the mosque.

Not good. I don't think letting them eat cake would solve this one either. ;)

the french don`t fuck around when it comes to giving their government the message when they are unhappy for some reason......just remember the student riots in france in the 1960`s...very nasty.....

Pretty rough stuff.

[Guest .::BeatFactory::.]

I haven't been following this as closely as I should so I have a question... are they being "dumb rioters" in that they're setting stuff on fire around the poorer people like themselves? or are they actually doing the smart thing instead and going for the top?

[method77]

What they do is pretty dumb. Actually making people even more hostile towards immigrants. Something like the murder of the dutch director.

The problem is that they are second class citizens - what we are seeing is their pent up outrage... France is not overtly racist--but the results are the same...they have a huge underclass But yes, there must be a better way for them to get representation than this

France is not overtly racist-

Their government is very right wing. Muslim headresses are banned from schools.

I would love to comment, but does anyone really know the truth?

What I mean by that, is that they dont have official policies on segregated bathrooms, busses, job discrimination and crap like that. Now the end result may be differerent, but its not OVERT

That is why I compared the situation to what it was like for blacks in this country before 1960 - I just wasnt specific enough
