I didn't realize that the Zionist agent was suffering such unrest.
Sorry, readers, but I only have 24 hours in a day!
"Sarkozy calls Paris riots unacceptable" by Nicolas Garriga/Associated Press November 28, 2007
VILLIERS-LE-BEL, France -- Youths rampaged for a third night in the suburbs north of Paris and violence spread to a southern city late yesterday as police struggled to contain rioters who have burned cars and buildings and -- in an ominous turn -- shot at officers. A senior police union official warned that "urban guerrillas" had joined the unrest.
Bands of young people set more cars on fire Tuesday in and around Villiers-le-Bel, the Paris suburb where the trouble first erupted, and 18 were taken into custody, the regional government said.
In the southern city of Toulouse, 20 cars were set ablaze, police said, and fires at two libraries were brought under control.
The government was striving to keep violence from spreading, in what was shaping up to be a stern test for new President Nicolas Sarkozy. The unrest showed that anger still smolders in France's poor neighborhoods, where many Arabs, blacks and other minorities live largely isolated from the rest of society.
The trigger this time was the deaths Sunday of two teens -- both from ethnic minorities -- whose motorbike collided with a police car in Villiers-le-Bel, a blue-collar town in Paris' northern suburbs.
Residents claimed the officers left the crash site without helping the teens. Prosecutor Marie-Therese de Givry said police stayed on the scene until firefighters arrived.
Rioting and arson quickly erupted after the crash. The violence worsened Monday night as it spread to other impoverished suburbs north of the French capital. Rioters burned a library, a nursery school, and a car dealership and tried to set some buildings on fire by crashing burning cars into them.
I'm smelling agent provocateurs enabling a fascist crackdown, readers.
Is there not one government in the world not looking to exploit such unrest to impose a police state?
Officials have pledged tough punishment for the rioters: Eight people were convicted yesterday in fast-track trilas and sentenced to three to ten months in prison, the regional government said.
Reinforcements were dispatched to trouble spots north of Paris on Tuesday. Helicopters also patrolled the area, shining powerful spotlights into apartment buildings to keep people from leaving their homes.
Prime Minister Francois Fillon, who was briefed by police in Villiers-le-Bel: "We need a large preventive force on the ground so that what happened last night does not happen again.''
Patrice Ribeiro of the Synergie police union said rioters this time included "genuine urban guerrillas," saying the use of firearms -- hunting shotguns so far -- had added a dangerous dimension.
Police said 82 officers were injured Monday night, 10 of them by buckshot and pellets. Four were seriously wounded, the force said. Police unions said 30 officers were struck by buckshot.
Gilles Wiart, number two official in the SGP-FO police union: "[One rioter with a shotgun] was firing off two shots, reloading in a stairwell, coming back out -- boom, boom -- and firing again."
Youths, many of them Arab and black children of immigrants, again appeared to be lashing out at police and other targets that appeared to represent a French establishment.
Wiart: "I don't think it's an ethnic problem. Most of all it is youths who reject all state authority. They attack firefighters, everything that represents the state."
Wow, is that ever a broad-brushed generalization!
A prima facia case for a crackdown, huh?
Sarkozy, speaking from China, appealed for calm and called a security meeting with his Cabinet ministers for today upon his return home.
Sarkozy was interior minister, in charge of police, during the riots of 2005 and took a hard line against violence. He angered many in housing projects when he called delinquents there "scum."
Takes one to know one, Nico!
Linda Beddar, a 40-year-old mother of three in Villiers-le-Bel: "[The rioting youths] want Sarkozy, they want him to come and explain [what happened to the two teenage boys]."
About 138 cars around France were burned overnight, which Ribeiro called almost "normal." Police say as many as 100 cars are burned every night around the country.
You are kidding, right?
"In French Suburbs, Same Rage, but New Tactics" byELAINE SCIOLINO
PARIS, Nov. 27 — Two years after France’s immigrant suburbs exploded in rage, the rituals and acts of resentment have reappeared with an eerie sameness: roving gangs clashing with riot police forces, the government appealing for calm, residents complaining that they are ignored.
And while the scale of the unrest of the past few days does not yet compare with the three-week convulsion in hundreds of suburbs and towns in 2005, a chilling new factor makes it, in some sense, more menacing. The onetime rock throwers and car burners have taken up hunting shotguns and turned them on the police.
More than 100 officers have been wounded, several of them seriously, according to the police. Thirty were hit with buckshot and pellets from shotguns, and one of the wounded was hit with a type of bullet used to kill large game, Patrice Ribeiro, a police spokesman, said in a telephone interview. One of the officers lost an eye; another’s shoulder was shattered by gunfire.
It is legal to own a shotgun in France — as long as the owner has a license — and police circles were swirling with rumors that the bands of youths were procuring more weapons.
Mr. Ribeiro told RTL radio, warning that the police, who have struggled to avoid excessive force, will not be fired upon indefinitely without responding:
“This is a real guerrilla war.”
The police have made more than 30 arrests but have been restrained in controlling the violence, using tear gas to disperse the bands of young people and firing paint balls to identify people for possible arrests later.
The prefecture of the police in the Val d’Oise area, where most of the violence has occurred, said Tuesday night that there were no reported injuries among civilians that could be linked to the police.
So say the cops, huh?
The events of the past three days, set off by the deaths of two teenagers whose minibike collided with a police vehicle on Sunday, make clear that the underlying causes of frustration and anger — particularly among unemployed, undereducated youths, mostly the offspring of Arab and African immigrants — remain the same.
François Pupponi, the Socialist mayor of Sarcelles, which has been struck by the violence, in an interview:
“We have heard promise after promise, but nothing has been done in the suburbs since the last riots, nothing. The suburbs are like tinderboxes. You have people in terrible social circumstances, plus all the rage, plus all the hate, plus all the rumors, and all you need is one spark to set them on fire.”
On Tuesday, there were the first signs of the violence spreading beyond the Paris region when a dozen cars were set afire in the southern city of Toulouse.
In the wake of the unrest in 2005, the government of then-President Jacques Chirac (with Nicolas Sarkozy, now the president, as the tough, law-and-order interior minister) announced measures to improve life in the suburbs.
At that time, Mr. Sarkozy alienated large numbers of inhabitants in the troubled ethnic pockets of France, but afterward reverted to a low-key approach, which he has maintained ever since. During his presidential campaign, he stayed away from the troubled suburbs, aware that his presence could inflame public opinion against him.
Adil Jazouli, a sociologist who focuses on the suburbs:
“We’ve been talking about a Marshall Plan for the suburbs since the early 1990s. We don’t need poetry. We don’t need reflection. We need money.”
After he returns from China on Wednesday morning, Mr. Sarkozy plans to visit a seriously wounded senior policeman at a hospital near the northern Paris suburb of Villiers-le-Bel.
It was in Villiers-le-Bel on Sunday afternoon that the deaths of two teenagers identified as Moushin, 15, and Larimi, 16, occurred, the event that set off the latest unrest. The teenagers were riding without helmets on a minibike that collided with a police car; rumors that the police had caused the accident elicited calls for revenge.
The crash was reminiscent of the electrocution deaths in another Paris suburb in October 2005 of two teenagers, who, according to some accounts, were running away from police. That event set off the worst civil unrest in France in four decades.
Prime Minister François Fillon to Parliament on Tuesday, pledged punishment for the offenders in the affected suburb:
"[The clashes are] unacceptable, intolerable, incomprehensible. Those who shoot at policemen, those who beat a police officer almost to death, are criminals and must be treated as such. We will do everything so that tonight there is a maximum security presence.”
Wow, beating a cop? Unimaginable in America!
And CUI BONO from the security presence, readers?
Critics of the Sarkozy government complain that many areas in the suburbs are without a police presence, and that the only time there is a show of security is after violence erupts.
Mohamed Hamidi, the French founder of Bondy Blog, a popular political blog created in the Paris suburb of Bondy after the outbreak of violence in 2005:
“Sarkozy promised to send more police to the suburbs, but in so many places there are fewer police than there were two years ago. He didn’t keep his word. Who suffers from all the violence and the burning cars? The people who live in these neighborhoods.”
That's why I suspect agent provocateurs!
CUI BONO?
In Villiers-le-Bel on Tuesday night, the atmosphere was tense, with white police trucks and antiriot police officers on the streets. Earlier in the day, about 300 people, including children, marched silently in memory of the two dead teenagers.
Always find good people, wherever you go!
Habib Friaa, a baker at a bakery on a small plaza in town, mourned their deaths, especially that of Larimi, who had started an apprenticeship with him two months ago:
“Baking was his passion. He was a courageous young man, someone who had hope.”
Oh, now this story just turned tragic!
A nice, good young man was killed by a police vehicle?
If the police caused his death, as I'm sure they did given MSM press coverage and emphasis in favor of the authorities, then this incident of incitement is a heart-breaker!
