France Riots 2012: Amiens Violence Rocks French District In North
By LORI HINNANT 08/14/12 07:08 AM ET
PARIS — Dozens of young men rioted in a troubled district in northern France after weeks of tensions, pulling drivers from their cars and stealing the vehicles, and burning a school and a youth center. The police department in Amiens says at least 16 officers were hurt by the time the riot ended Tuesday, some by buckshot.
At the height of the confrontation, 150 officers – both local and federal riot police – faced off against the young men throughout the neighborhood. There were no arrests.
“The confrontations were very, very violent,” Amiens Mayor Gilles Dumailly told the French television network BFM. Dumailly said tensions had been building for a number of weeks between police and the impoverished residents, whom he described as “people who are in some difficulty.”
Let me see, “one of the 15 most “troubled” areas in France, a large gang of male “youts”, car-b-ques, innocent people dragged from their cars, high levels of damage & violence, no arrests…..smells like muslims to me.
You’d think these “purveyors of the facts” would have the balls to do just that, but they don’t, they’re cowards.

Is it too late for a Ramadan pardon in one of Frances restive tribal regions?
Riot season started late this year but is getting off to a fine start.
Only “intolerant bigoted racists” refuse to enjoy chaos and mayhem. Can’t they see how “youthful” these “youths” are, how passionately committed to the cause of “social justice” ?
Their riots bring so much more “diversity” into our “progressive multicultural society” ! The scale of destruction and violence indicate how “culturally enriching” and “vibrant ” the “local communities” are.
