Rioting Spreads Beyond Paris Suburbs
Full Version: Hope No One is Going to Paris in the Near Future
Sounds like 1968 all over again, in miniature.
Or life imitating art, if the recent film "The Dreamers" was popular enough.

As of yesterday, the rioting had gone on for 9 days.
It's like a Louche Fest without the moshing or cross-dressing.

So, it’s just a big hen party over there?
Goddammit! I'm going in six weeks. I hope there's something left.
No, hardly a paranoid hen party.
I really shouldn't make light of it.
That's just a nasty habit of mine.
I can't concieve of 9 days of rioting,
let alone the barbarism of setting a crippled 50-year-old woman on fire.

According to the AP,
QUOTE
Rioters in the southern city of Toulouse set fire to an empty bus Monday evening, then pelted police with firebombs and rocks, an official said. A 61-year-old man died of wounds sustained in the spreading violence, the first fatality in 12 days of civil unrest that has shocked the country.

The new violence came after rioting by French youths spread to 300 towns.

As urban unrest was reported in neighboring Belgium and Germany...

I think the earth is getting ready to shake us off like a bad case of fleas.

At least they did one thing right.
Then why isn't the Colonel the Colonel in that pic?
And the clown is still standing (sitting).
I bet the burgers taste better that way (cooked by flame rather than microwaved).
Nah, that's just urban legend.
Looks like they are putting up more of a fight than they did in WW2

Interesting pics Cros. Really.
And I can't even comment on the first article. It sickens me. Prolly not for the same reason it sickens some of you though.

Pray tell.
No. It would just turn into some type of manifesto-like rant that will end up with me hermitting in a log cabin out in Idaho or Montana or somewhere like that and I don't like the cold that much.
Why is it always Idaho or Montana, or places like that?
Does the cold breed discontent?
I would be deeply interested in the Loogie Manifesto.
Alas, some other day.

Not the cold,
it's the loneliness, boredom, and lack of anything else to do.
Give me a city with twisted fucks and strange people
to make me feel normal.
Out in the middle of nowhere I'd prolly lose it,
though I'm thinking of trying.

You want a city of twisted fucks and strange people? Glad you're coming to DC.

some call it peace and quiet.
