"French youths" burn woman alive
Bands of youths roaming Parisian suburbs burned more than 500 vehicles and hurled stones at police Friday, as the worst rioting in a decade entered its second week and spread elsewhere in France. The U.S. warned Americans against taking trains to the airport via strife-torn areas.
A savage assault on a bus passenger highlighted the dangers of travel in the impoverished outlying neighborhoods, where authorities were struggling to regain control.
Attackers doused the woman, in her 50s and on crutches, with an inflammable liquid and set her afire as she tried to get off a bus in the suburb of Sevran Wednesday, judicial officials said. The bus had been forced to stop because of burning objects in its path. She was rescued by the driver and hospitalized with severe burns.
The BBC thinks they are doing this because they are unemployed. Hmm. I never knew that setting crippled women ablaze would impress prospective employers.
Let's hope that al Qaeda -- which to my knowledge has never doused a crippled woman with accelerant and burned her alive -- doesn't adopt the vicious tactics of the "French youths".

Dude, what exactly are you implying about the "religion of peace?"

There is no excuse for that kind of behavior, regardless what the media outlets may say. The attackers should be lined up against a wall, blindfolded...

Call me naive, but I couldn't see something like this happening here unless Rodney King took his car for a spin.
But, I think an atrocity like that is a little different from one a guy like Catchy would expect here. Does 1992 Watts count as an atrocity in Catchy's world?
Catchy?

Time for the Frech Foreign Legion to come home and bash a few heads. This is the activity that will rouse some of the uglier history of Europe.
It will end badly. But it will not be terrible for us.ydtqmqo
