those crazy french are at it again

[skadistic]

Officials from Paris' RATP public transport authority said the violence started after a man without a Metro ticket punched two inspectors during a routine ticket check. Youths also attacked the inspectors and later turned on police patrolling the station, officials said.

Can't you guys go 6 months without rioting?

What is it with the youth in France?

Thank god I live in America where people who attack cops are shot dead to send a message such things are not tolerated.

"Voulez vous coucher avec moi ce soir 'da poleez"

Not that eloquent now is it.

You mean those pseudo-french are at it. They're immigrants. Obviously they haven't found out what does it mean to be a real French yet.

living up to your name, I see

yeah, and to be sure even those that don't attack cops are shot dead on occasion

Skad, the French are nothing if not eloquent BTW, better come up with something substantive fast, I hear the tread of the Big Brown Font just as clearly as those of Walky Walkenstien in the apt above me.

Not true, if the BBC is any decent authority, then I'll point out that the vast majority are french citizens, born infrance to immigrant parents. They've had plenty of practice at 'being french'

I was hoping to get an idea of whats up with the french youth. They riot over anything it seems. I can only see this getting worse and escalating.

Rioting in the streets is a French custom. If anything, it is a sign that there is some hope for Muslims integrating after all.

Detail. They may be citizens of France, but they're not French.

Not like this. It is hard to believe, but real French protest peacefully, at least in vast majority of cases. Immigrants obviously like to burn things.

Arrest them, sentence them, put them into a jail and throw away the key.

"Nique les flics!", I would hazard.

I'm surprised something as minor as this is even picked up outside France. Anything to do with a certain POV of Fox'?

Err... You've never seen French farmers or fishermen throw a riot, have you?

The dividing line in French street fighting tend to be whether the protestors have political support from the middle class. Then the police will *****-foot about. If they lack such support, the police, the CRS, will seriously Put The Boot In.

How do the French do it? We Germans have to start a war or threaten to kill a baby bear to make it into international headlines.

Probably because America and France are like two little kids in love. America dips Frances pigtails into inkwells, and France raises her hand and tells the teacher that America is cheating.

You have to create a stereotype of yourselves interesting enough for americans to pay attention to you. Look at us, the spanish, we do crazy things during our fiestas, like running in front of bulls. So when the stereotype is created, any silly piece of news that fits into that stereotype makes into the US news, like the tomato fights in Bunol.

So, french people like rioting, Spaniards like doing weird things during festivals, pick your own stereotype.

"Voulez vous coucher avec moi ce soir 'da poleez"

Good one.

Of course the last big riots with the cars burning and all the tralala occured after two youngs died in a police chase

"Nique les flics!", I would hazard.

Rather "Nique la police!"
