Disabled woman set on fire as Paris riots spread
Passengers caught in blaze as youths ambush bus
· New attacks thwart hopes that troubles may be over
A 56-year-old physically disabled woman was being treated in the burns unit
of a Paris hospital yesterday after the bus she was travelling in was set
alight by youths in the northern suburb of Sevran.
The incident was the ugliest yet in the violence that has convulsed the
suburbs of Paris during the past week. Last night, fresh attacks were
reported in two dormitory towns outside the French capital where youths set
fire to cars and two buildings.
You're a fuckwit, as well as a drive-by flamethrower. It's obvious
this disabled woman wasn't singled out by the rioters. Rioters are the
same the world over, whether it's these scum rioting in Paris, the
Argentine scum rioting in Argentina, rioters rioting in South Central
L.A. in 1992, or American sports fans rioting after their team *wins* a
championship.
The difference of course being that France idiotically allowed these
rioters into their country and are now facing the consequences of
massive Muslim immigration.
Unrestricted immigration of people from a thoroughly alien culture
probably is a bad idea. I think the lump of Muslim immigrants into
western Europe make our problem of illegal Latino immigration look
almost not a problem at all by comparison. Our Latino immigrants speak
a western language that uses a western alphabet, and if they're
religious they adhere to a western religion. The nations whence they
come embody, for example, the concept of separation of church and
state. Muslims in Europe will never assimilate as Europeans.
My point in replying to the fuckwit is that he was making more out of
the injuries inflicted on the woman than is warranted. She wasn't
singled out or attacked for some specific reason; it was purely bad
time/place for her. By contrast, when Damian "Football" Williams
smashed the brick onto Reginald Denny's head in the 1992 L.A. riots,
Williams *was* singling Denny out for being white. Williams, btw, was
convicted a few years ago of murder. I think he got something like 51
years to life.

Never heard of Northern Ireland or the IRA, have you?
These lovely Catholic lads have blown up children, tortured innocents,
and in one of the great moments of Christian charity, blew up a parade
of WWII veterans, bandsmen, and retired cavalry horses.
I'm Irish by ancestry, and the horros inflicted on Eire by both the
IRA and their Protestant counterparts in the Ulster Defense Force make
me sick.
And it's all done in the name of religion. Walking down a street in
Belfast a few years back meant being confronted by gangs of young men
who would ask "Protestant or Catholic?" The wrong answer got you a
beating, or worse.

and for that very same reason it's idealistic at best, dangerous at
worst to expect a western style democracy to exist in such an alien
environment as any Muslim state. Muslims have lived their culture for
1300 years, they're not going to suddenly change in a few years (likely
not even in a few centuries)

Try looking at some facts first: French is their first language, they
are French citizens because they come from French colonies.
And if you had your way 150 years ago, I'd be Polish, or dead, or,

Wrong. These are mostly people born a generation or

They are NOT French citizens; not if they come from
Algeria or Morocco, as many of them do. People from
France Outre-Mer - French overseas territories - are
French citizens, but people from *former* colonies like
Algeria and Tunisia are not French citizens.

What would that be? That countries control their

Why should I care about that?
Actually numbnuts the fuck off is because I'm sick of you. If you're too

Gee I wonder what they should do about the rioters in Northern Ireland
You're getting closer. Now try to show more consideration in your
opinions. Here on alt.california, you may have found a forum for your
blather; however, remember, you do not own the newsgroup. Now take a
deep breath and start all over again.

And the Irish in Northern Ireland are not immigrants, it is their HOME.

Odd how nobody ever mentions it when a disabled black person dies in Detroit,
LA or Dallas during a shooting but it's a massive Muslim conspiracy when it
happens outside of Paris.
There was a bit of rioting in NI over the summer it was on the news.
Although in recent years there's always been a bit of rioting in NI. Mostly
over the marching, However this year apparently Unionists are just feeling
angry and not just about the marching. Personally speaking the only thing I
was angry about was it taking 2 frigging hours to get home but I never felt
the urge to throw any kind of explosive device.
And that was my point.....being an immigrant is not a factor.
I wasn't much serious about that answer. Hundreds of years of bad
policies cannot be undone overnight, particularly if no one is trying to
undo them.
>Try again.
Britain will, again and again.
Depends on certain folks' definition of immigrant. As I understand it,
much of the problem in NI is a result of the importation of Protestants
from the rest of the UK while Britain controlled Ireland. From a certain
point of view, these people are immigrants, as much as the second and
third generation rioters are in France. Of course, using words properly,
neither the NI Prots nor the rioters in Paris are immigrants.
Toronto had an immigrant problem well before the latter days. The bloody
Irish were treated like crap by the British, then the Italians were treated
like crap by the British and the Irish, then the Portuguese and so on. :)
The massive cooperative community of the Jews and the Italians in the 1930's
was busted up when a few Italians from overseas backed "il duce", teamed up
with the Nazis and they rioted, they liked "il duce" because he drove out the
Mafia (and sent it to the USA).
Never expect harmony when people immigrate, but on the other had, don't
expect the wealth of ideas, culuture and vision that they arrive with either.
Some people are but the majority are too keen to listen to those who aren't

If you want a weird definition of immigrant, I suggest that you visit
Northern Italy, where they consider people from Southern Italy as
under class Hillbilly's.

In Paris, some of them are. The influx continues, both legally (as in
family members) and illegally.

Hmmm that was 500+ years ago. The more recent issues have been the
mistreatment of the Irish by the British during the potato famine over 150
years ago. The Irish Uprisings in the early part of the last century and
the mistreatment of Catholics by Protestants after NI was formed. It's not
going to fix itself for a long, long time.
Besides if 500 years would still count couldn't you argue that ultimately
the majority of the world are ultimately immigrants?
Did you hear about the well planned invasion of Great Britain at the Chunnel
in France back in 2001? 44 illegals gathered together on the French side and
"went for it". None of them were from France but all of them knew tha the UK
was a safe haven, better than France! Kind of like the Cubans who make boats
out of 1958 Chevy's and cross to the USA, but less creative.

You're certainly correct that, in retrospect, there was too much too
quickly.
However, the early immigrants did integrate. That success, plus a long
history of successful immigration/integration from other countries,
caused the French to allow the pace to increase.
It's worth noting that illegal immigration is part of the problem too,
just as in the USA.
:-)
Jenny
I agree, Britain would have given up all of the island of Ireland after
WWI if they hadn't had the Protestants who had been around at their
long-ago urging.
>Besides if 500 years would still count couldn't you argue that ultimately
>the majority of the world are ultimately immigrants?
Yes, that is part of the point of the absurdity of it all.
I don't know about Detroit and Dallas, but in LA they print those kinds
of articles all the time, as does the SF Chronicle when it happens in
San Francisco or Oakland.
Excellent point :)
A great movie about immigrants in the USA was "Gangs of New York".
One thing that caught me by surprise (because I'm not overly familliar with
US history) was how the Union States accepted loads of Irish immigrants and
when they got off the boat in NYC and had no job prospects, they were imbued
to join the Army to fight the Confederation!
You do understand that not only do the majority of NI want to remain part of
the UK the Rep isn't actually all that keen to have us either? Only GB that
would benefit from a "united" Ireland and even that would be eventually.
I understand. I am not trying to encourage any changes of borders,
certainly not unless they are strongly supported by the people who live
there. The British of the 20th Century had a number of poor outcomes in
trying to deal with partitions and other attempts to make sensible
borders that could not be made sensible. Further attempts in the 21st
century, seem utterly senseless, particularly since the Irish Republic
and the UK are slowly becoming neighboring states in the same
confederation.
I also understand that the radicals are the ones demanding,
unthinkingly, that the egg be unscrambled.

The sad fact is that even tho' they are citizens, their parents raised them
as if they were not.
This is why they do what they do.

No, you aren't.
Even if you think you are Jewish (which I doubt), you still
have to apply.

Because the generic news agencies have been carefully avoiding saying
that it's only one specific subsegment of the population doing it: Muslim
immigrants &/or their children.

So it's not about poverty, it's about race.
I see.
What race are you?
This will undoubtedly come as a major shock to you but *MUSLIM* is a
religion not a race.

Really? Start reading the papers, you dickwad.
If you're not familiar with US history, then don't cite some Hollywood crap
as fact. Read some books (preferably non-fiction) then have an opinion.

Safe accusations to make, when you're not in the path of ten days of
riots. Let this happen where you live, and you'll be agreeing with

"The US maintains military bases in 140 foreign countries (needless to
say, there are no foreign military bases on US territory). Thanks to
exorbitant military spending more than the combined total of the 32
next most well-armed nations - the US enjoys a unique and coercive
global reach, a monopoly which it intends to preserve at all costs, as
the current National Security Strategy makes clear. The US claims and
exercises a prerogative to topple other regimes and occupy other
countries that it denies to all other nation-states. Through the IMF,
WTO and World Bank, it shapes the economic destinies of most people on
the planet. The fact is that the fate of billions living beyond US
borders is determined by decisions made in Washington."
