France: Riots ‘outbursts of hate and anti-French racism’
Yesterday I posted an article about the French rioters, many of whom are disaffected youth from the ghettos. Today a reader sent me two more articles which point the finger at North-African Muslim youth.
Ivan Rioufol, of Le Figaro, wrote the following on his blog (FR):
All students are obviously not rioters. But the rioters of the past few days – and Wednesday morning again in the center of Lyon – are indeed students. They are, mainly, from the ghettos. The hooded people aren’t marching to defend retirement at 60, or even the welfare system which enticed their parents or grandparents.
They’re there to battle the Republic, its culture and it’s most visible symbols: the security forces, the schools. That’s why a school was burned down in Mans. The scenes of urban guerrilla warfare that they’re reproducing are very similar to the images of the intifada of the young Palestinians confronting the Israeli forces. Comparisons are misleading, but these ethnic insurrections of youth who are often of Muslim culture, also reject the state seen as a colonizer and oppressor. These wild people, each time more intrepid and organized, remind us of the failure of their integration.
It’s time to cut the BS and declare martial law and bring in the legion. The security of the state and the safety of all of it’s citizens is one of the basic duties of the government. The peaceful demonstrators have every right to protest, the hoodlums, thugs, and rioting dirtbags must be arrested and charged for their crimes.
The thing about “peaceful protests” is that you can’t control who comes along for the ride or the acts of violence that they commit. And when violence occurs, the protest organizers alway play innocent, distance themselves from the violent ones, and accept no blame for themselves. Such wrong-headed nonsense! If you organize a protest and it breaks out into a riot, you are responsible. It wouldn’t have happened without you. It seems to me that people who go to protests are believers in fightocracy. Instead of resolving things by election, they would like to see things decided by a big fist-fight in the street, with the last ones standing being declared “right”.
If these riots continue for long the Legion and the useless French Army will be called out, these riots have the potential of turning into a civil war, a war that I have seen building for a long time.
