Seal off those rioting neighborhood from the rest of Paris, and let these riot youth burn their own neighborhood to the ground.

Why? Its about time we got together, since their problems have certain things in common with our problems. I hope they ask for help, and I hope we give it to them, and I hope everybody sees that even vocal opposition to the mismanaged war in Iraq isn't enough to protect anybody from our common problems.

Maybe they should go to the U.N. for help, or better yet, call John Kerry.

Better yet the French could convince the CIA to fabricate intel that they (the rioters) have possession of vast quantities of WMDs and then Bush would send in American troops to squash the riots, occupy the French Ghettos and waste billions of dollars trying to win the hearts and minds of those wags. It worked in Iraq..well maybe not.

well, if two black kids here in US went through similar situations, we can very well have similar results. What a mess over there. French bashing aside, look @ the people who are rioting.

23% or so of the french youth are unemployed. why is 1/5th of the young people unemployed (irresponsible?). So a couple of the minority gets killed in a misunderstood accident, and then a whole young group of people symphatethic to the extreme leftist cause and defiant towards authority gets pissed. wtf is this. what the hell are they teaching the french youth? heh and I thought the young here in the US was "bad."

I don't knw all the details, and I know my rant right now is very incomprehensible, but I don't care. I'm just pissed to think that young people would get angry over stupid sh!t like that.


and so when an allied country gets into some crap like that, we laugh at them? Are we going to resort to their level by not helping? US is better than that. We help because we want to, and because we just can. IF they did not help us in our time in need, so what? It's nobler to give help w/o expecting any back.

I've never understood the point of rioting. I understand protesting, and I think it's great people believe in a cause enough to show it that way. But look at the riots in S. America right now because of Bush. There was a guy in a "NO BUSH" jacket kicking in the window to a bank.

How does that help his cause any? To me he seems like a common criminal, and any opinion he had about Bush means nothing.

So two youths tried to elude police and got electrocuted because of their own stupidity. Was it the police at fault, for chasing them? Probably not, I'm betting they did something wrong to warrant being chased. Yet there's rioting over it, not just in the streets, but arson as well. That doesn't help anybody, setting fire to buses with people on them, injuring innocent civilians, people from your own neighborhood.

That's just criminal, and I hope they catch as many people as they can, and toss em in jail for as long as allowed.

French Film Star Injured in Riots
PARIS - Former French matinee idol Pepe Le Pew was among the hundreds injured last night amid violent feline rioting in the impoverished Parisian suburb of Dans-le-Crappeur. Le Pew, 58, a former Warner Brothers studio actor turned Chirac government spokes-skunk, sustained severe scratches and concussions in the melee before nose-pin equipped EMT rescue squads could drag him to safety. He is expected to make a full recovery.

Last night?s rioting marked the eighth consecutive night of violence in the Paris suburbs, as thousands of immigrant feline youths continue to rampage to protest a lack of jobs and cuts in French government tuna programs. Dans-le-Crappeur, home to tens of thousands of unemployed first-hundred generation immigrant cats, has been particularly hard hit.

Violence erupted here last Wednesday night after French Interior Minister Nikolas Sarkozy announced a crackdown on crime and furniture-scratching in the sprawling Chateau des Chats public housing projects. Enraged feline youths went on a rampage, smashing windows of local fish shops and overturning hundreds of public pay-litter boxes. Violence intensified over the weekend as enraged cats began burning and looting sprees across the suburbs, sparked by Sarkozy?s remarks that they were ?easily enraged.?

In a stark warning of continued violence Monday, immigrant community spokes-cat Imam Tariq Al-Felix of the Lipi Le Lyon Mosque said that arson and looting would continue ?until the French government does something to solve the problem of all the burned out looted buildings in our neighborhoods.?

Seeking to quell the burgeoning Kitty-fada and restore public order, French President Jacques Chirac and Prime Minister Dominique de Villepin enlisted the help of Le Pew yesterday. It was thought that Le Pew - who led France?s UN efforts to oppose US sanctions against the so-called ?pussies of evil? of Sylvester, Tom and Mr. Jinks - would help establish a diplomatic dialog with the Gallic feline community.

Instead, the outreach effort appeared to backfire. According to witnesses, Le Pew?s appearance on the scene last night caused a stampede as panicked crowds began fleeing the smell. More trouble ensued when Le Pew was seen as making ?inappropriate contact? with a burqqa-clad female cat, which reportedly sparked a mob of feline activists to don nose clips and begin beating him. Youths also set fire to a street-stripe painting truck which was allegedly involved in the incident.

One time I was in an argument with a Frog.. he was telling me how France was so great and better than america... all i did was show them a picture of pic and they shut up. Man that has to be the #1 worst thing in the world to happen. I'm not at all saying anything about Hitler, just the fact that there's an enemy walking around who runs the place in front of a symbol like that... that's gotta be </3


edit fixed my shotty linking job
