Riot Breaks Out In French Subway Station

by

Oh my… those faceless, pesky and adjectively-barren “bands of youths” are at it again — rioting in main Paris Metro subway station.

Riot police firing tear gas and brandishing batons clashed Tuesday with bands of youths who shattered windows and looted shops at a major Paris train station, officials said. Nine people were arrested.

Officials said about 100 people were involved in the melee at Gare du Nord, one of Paris’ most important transport hubs. Officers and police dogs fired tear gas and charged at groups of marauding youths, some of them wearing hoods and swinging metal bars.

The youths responded by throwing trash cans and other objects at the officers. A group of youths smashed the windows of a sporting goods store and looted boxes of shoes. Others attacked automatic drink dispensers and set fire to an information booth.

So were these “bands of youths” of French origin?  If so, why don’t the news reports say so? 

Wait…I know…. maybe they were unruly Brits upset at the capture of their sailors by Iran?  Or just wild and crazy Americans out to show the Parisians that we know how to party in a subway station?

Or are they from a community that the news media wants us to forget is fomenting hate, murder and civil unrest in France and much of Western Europe?  (Read Bruce Bawer’s book if you want to know the truth about the danger that Western civilization is ignoring.)

Ah, remember the days when the news media actually reported all of the known facts of an important news item?  *sigh*

  1. They’re just doing what Muslims do..

    “More Moslems came, and soon a small mosque was built, which attracted yet others. As long as Zoroastrians remained in the majority, their lives were tolerable; but once the Moslems became the more numerous, a petty but pervasive harassment was apt to develop. This was partly verbal, with taunts about fire-worship, and comments on how few Zoroastrians there were in the world, and how many Moslems, who must therefore posses the truth; and also on how many material advantages lay with Islam. The harassment was often also physical; boys fought, and gangs of youth waylaid and bullied individual Zoroastrians. They also diverted themselves by climbing into the local tower of silence and desecrating it, and they might even break into the fire-temple and seek to pollute or extinguish the sacred flame. Those with criminal leanings found too that a religious minority provided tempting opportunities for theft, pilfering from the open fields, and sometimes rape and arson. Those Zoroastrians who resisted all these pressures often preferred therefore in the end to sell out and move to some other place where their co-religionists were still relatively numerous, and they could live at peace; and so another village was lot to the old faith.”

  3. I had the same confusion when I read the article. I mean, if it had been a band a conservative, patriotic youths, the story would’ve tripped over itself letting us know. The more we pander to, and deny who, the real enemy is, the closer we get to being the enemy’s “bitch”. Which, not ironically, is what liberals have been for decades. They’ve championed communist dictators, socialist tyrants, and now, Islamo-fascist terrorists. I thank God I don’t have children, for it will be the next generation who will have to bear the burden “the left’s” constant denial of reality.

    Ok markie and others of traitor’s colors, time for your one-liners of idiocy!! Ready, set….BLOW!!

  4. Oh yeah – France, the model of socialist sh*t, you deserve what you’re getting!!! Just think, if we vote for a democrat, this, too will be our lives!!! CAN’T WAIT!!!

  6. Uh…yeah….ok .

    Glad to see you haven’t broken out of your inaneness, markie (is that short for “Marxist”?). I can always count on your predictable silliness and non-contribution. So typically liberal.

  7. And LNC, it looks like marxist is a bit of a misogynist as well with that “pantyhose” comment.

    Getting back on topic – having traveled in Paris and especially through Gare du Nord on the way to the Marais, I can tell you for sure that the metro/train station in question is home to a lot of shiftless Arab youths either begging for a handout or just being plain desperate.

    And yeah – if AFP or Le Figaro doesn’t identify the ethnicity of the youths, they are Arab and Muslim for all intents and purposes.

  8. ***And yeah – if AFP or Le Figaro doesn’t identify the ethnicity of the youths, they are Arab and Muslim for all intents and purposes.***

    Thanks Peter, I figured that’s the way the socialist mind works. Ignore or deny who the enemy is, and it just means they must not exist!! Typical head-in-the-sand liberalism!

    And “marxist” is probably a cross-dressing panty waste, who enjoyed the spankings his daddy gave him/her growing up (not that there’s anything wrong with that!!!). 😉

  10. Hmmm…let’s see….people who will fight Islamic terrorism, like McCain, and people who support the right of the populace to defend themselves, like Giuliani…..or having mobs of teenagers and youths attacking people, committing acts of violence, vandalizing businesses, and looting.

    I’ll take the former.

  11. Ian, even with that, they are still better than any socialist piece of dung you morons can present. I mean, c’mon – Hillary or Osama, uh, I mean Obama??? PAH-LEEEEEEZ!!! Oh wait, there’s always Dean or Gore!! LOLOL!!! Maybe Hugo Chavez would be your personal fav!! Socialists/dems are traitors and don’t belong here. I often wonder why your ilk doesn’t move to Cuba already. I’ll help you pack.

  12. The Muslims in this country better hope and pray we dont get another attack. The people here where I work are so entirely tired of Muslims and terrorism and arabs.

    And I never seen so many people angry at the Democrats.. WHat the Democrats are doing to the country is ripping apart.

  13. (Pardon me crashing the thread, but I had a strong reaction to this post.)

    One of the photos in Edmund White’s (to date, authoritative) bio of Jean Genet is of his appearance at a demonstration in the late 70s in Paris’s Goutte d’or (poor, Arab) neighborhood. A young Arab had been killed (I forget the circumstances) and for some reason it had attracted a little high-brow engages (and/or enrages) Parisian intellectual interest. (Michel Foucault is in the photo, too.)

    Since postmodern academics and artists — when not dominating debates within their fields — often fancy a “critical” role for themselves in political debate (and even policy) … and since postmodernism is (to me) the noxious gruel by which the West subverts itself intellectually … I’m keen on tracing the links, trends, omissions, contradictions, etc. of such intellectuals and artists from, say, Genet and Foucault’s generation through to the present.

    To wit: Where, exactly, are those intellectuals (and their successor academic generations) today on the issue of “marauding youths”? Who will hold them accountable, as intellectuals and as citizens?

  14. “Where, exactly, are those intellectuals (and their successor academic generations) today on the issue of “marauding youths”?”

    J-Ko, remember the Paris barricades of the 1960s? Those are the “intellectuals” who are in power nowadays.

    Scary, ain’t it?

    Do you REALLY think that the ilk who were practically holding Paris hostage in the late 1960s are going to excuse what a bunch of Arab Muslims are doing right now?

    Methinks not.

    Let me guess, you work for Faux News. Look, the American people are fed up with the occupation and its GOP cheerleaders and most especially fed up with Bushco. They also support the Dems’ bill for troop withdrawal by August 2008 by 59% to 33%. Maybe you’re only seeing those people who are angry that the Dems don’t pass a bill supporting an immediate withdrawal.

  17. Ian: Leftists really confirm the theory that Lefties have the mentality of a child with the obssession you have with polls. I am not interested in popularity contests and nor am I an interested in polls.

    I was relating my observations. If i want to see some stupid poll I’ll go find one. I dont need people like you sticking it in my face.

  18. Why, Ian, do you have such a problem with one slightly right-leaning channel (Fox), when you have countless liberal/democrat media forms to choose from for your warped propaganda? Why does Fox threaten you so much if all they report is wrong anyway, in your warped view? Why do liberals spew about being tolerant, but when something different comes along, you people turn into rabid dogs??? You people hide behind freedom of speech when committing treason on a daily basis, but ONE NEWS CHANNEL that dares to show a different side has you fit to be tied! Laughable liberal hypocrisy!! Love it!!

  19. Jeremay: The intellectuals would be so bold as to suggest you’re a racist in the worst American sense of the word.

    Why, if the gov’t only increases the youth’s dependencey on it then everything will be ok, so it’s not the youth’s fault.. it’s the Government. France isn’t paying enough jizra to the sons of allah.

    Oh, and if you dare broadcast images of the violence, then you deserve to be jailed.

  20. **Oh, and if you dare broadcast images of the violence, then you deserve to be jailed.**

    Or beheaded!! Depending on which mosque you belong to!! hehehe!!

  22. “Shrillary”!!!! Brilliant!!! Love it!!! Yes, Sarkozy, a friend of America, will hopefully win. Maybe the French have had enough “multi-culturalism”, and will take their country back, with him leading the way. Socialism has never, and will never, work. Proof is in history, before “the left” had a chance to revise, that is.

    Yet you present an anecdote as if it implies some universal truth. You are simply out of touch and in total denial.

    Show me where I even suggested that Faux News should be taken off the air. Of course I never did any such thing. It’s you and others like you who demand allegiance to Dear Leader, the Republick Party, its mouthpiece Faux News, and disastrous neocon wars. You call anyone who dissents a traitor and demand they leave the country. Well, the country is on my side now so perhaps it’s dead-ender neocons who are the traitors and who ought to be the ones to take a hike.

  26. I don’t demand you leave – I just hope you do – so much that I will help you pack. There’s plenty of socialist sh*tholes out there for you to revel in! The country might be on “your side” (the enemy’s side), but let’s face it, the masses are asses. I for one, will stay, in spite of us being hijacked by a bunch of red diaper doper babies killing it.

  27. Show me where I even suggested that Faux News should be taken off the air.

    I’ll do one better. Why don’t you show us where someone claimed you did such a thing first — especially since it wasn’t in the post you cited?

    Of course, we know you’d love to have them off the air, Ian, just like you and your fellow Democrats threatened to yank ABC’s broadcast license for daring to air a program critical of Bill Clinton. You just can’t make it obvious that you can’t tolerate another news network that doesn’t lie about Iraq like CNN, doesn’t file fake stories like the AP, doesn’t fake and forge documents to bash Bush like CBS, and doesn’t reveal national security secrets to the enemy like the New York Times.

  28. LNC, you are correct about the socialists. But remember, according to the libtards, socialism has never worked because the “right people” weren’t in charge of it.

    Funny how some Ignorant And Nauseating libtrolls call Fox News the “mouthpiece” of the GOP, yet CNN is openly goading hesitant Dhimmicrats to try and impeach the President on any type of pretext.

    Bias? What liberal media bias? (SARCASM)

    Guess it’s no wonder that FNC outperforms all other cable news channels. After all, they are siding with America.

  29. My nostrils have been permanently twisted and my mind undisposed to what postmodernism, culturally speaking, unleashes ever since, in early 1991, I was introduced to Kathy Acker at a public critique (“performance”?) by Avital Ronnell (formerly of Berkeley, now NYU) that included taking kritikal digs at Operation Desert Storm.

  36. HH: Super. It wouldn’t be a debate, just a conversation. Now let’s get to the first major issue of the day, which is Iran. Mr. Speaker, if the United Kingdom feels obliged to use force, if diplomacy fails to get their people back, will you applaud?

    NG: I think there are two very simple steps that should be taken. The first is to use a covert operation, or a special forces operation to knock out the only gasoline producing refinery in Iran. There’s only one. And the second is to simply intercede by Naval force, and block any tankers from bringing gasoline to Iran…

    HH: Would you do, would you urge them…

    NG: And say to the Iranians, you know, you can keep the sailors as long as you want, but in about 30 days, everybody in your country will be walking.

    HH: So how long would you give them, to give them that ultimatum, the Iranians?

    NG: I would literally do that. I would say to them, I would right now say to them privately, within the next week, your refinery will no longer work. And within the following week, there will be no tankers arriving. Now if you would like to avoid being humiliated publicly, we recommend you calmly and quietly give them back now. But frankly, if you’d prefer to show the planet that you’re tiny and we’re not, we’re prepared to simply cut off your economy, and allow you to go back to walking and using oxen to pull carts, because you will have no gasoline left.

    HH: I agree with that 100%. Would your recommendation to the United States President be the same if Iran seized our forces?

    NG: Absolutely. I mean, the reason I say that, it is the least violent, least direct thing you can do. It uses our greatest strength…you know, the mismatch in Naval power is absolute. And so you don’t have to send troops into Iran. Everybody on the left is waiting for conservatives to say things that allow them to run amok and parade in San Francisco, and claim that we’re warmongers. I want to avoid war by intelligently using our power to eliminate the option of sustaining an economy, so that the Iranian dictatorship will be shown to be the hollow dictatorship it is, so the people of Iran decide they’d like to have a decent government with real electricity and real gasoline, so they overthrow it. And I want to do that without risking a single American life, or being engaged in a single direct confrontation. And Naval power lets you do that.

  39. #10 – “people who support the right of the populace to defend themselves, like Giuliani”

    When did that happen? I thought he was pro-gun control.

    “mobs of teenagers and youths attacking people, committing acts of violence, vandalizing businesses, and looting”

    Sounds like just another day in Ohio (and California and Washington)…

    And notice how the mainstream media refuses to name the race and religion of those responsible. It’s a conspiracy! A conspiracy, I tell ya!

  43. What happened in Paris is just a sample of what we could come to expect here if we don’t stay vigilant.

    9/11 was a wake-up call, and most libtards hit the “snooze” button.

    Typical.

  45. 9/11 happened cuz ashcroft was asleep at the wheel. you’ll never be able to change that. remember gorgie porgie”s stupid look on his face when it happened??? ya, ashcroft thought new orleans porn was more important than the forewarned threat. stupid christians.

  47. 9/11 happened in NYC and Wash DC. Two liberal enclaves. Can you imagine the liberal shrugs if it had occured in a pure blue part of the country? If they so easily forget and condone the murder of “their own”.

  50. No joke there Gene. Had the targets been Birmingham Alabama or Nashville TN, the left would have been making jokes and saying the “rednecks” deserved it much like they did about Mississippi after Katrina.
