Paris is not Burning

There has been a tremendous amount of coverage over the whole Olympic torch fiasco that occurred yesterday in Paris. I'm not in the position to go over the whole thing again, apathy and a lack of concern about the subject prohibit me from indulging this. However, I have come up with a few key points that I have observed that I would like to share with you, things the media haven't noticed.

This is the hardest the French have ever fought to keep anyone out of Paris.
Not one Frenchman surrendered to the torch (although it is believed many collaborated with it)
Policemen that wear rollerblades do not instill fear.
Considering how hard it has been for the French coppers to stop French youth from lighting fires over the past three years, it's bizarre that now they are trying to keep a torch lit so desperately.
The only North American city that the torch will be brought to will be San Francisco. A city that has never had an Olympics, and has a history of violent protests. Although, on the other side, they do have their share of giant flamers.

Paris is Burning ......again!

The return of the YOUEEs (Youths of Undetermined Ethnic Extraction).

The Peugeot Pyrotechnics are off and running in Paris again. Fires raged and mobs rioted in the Paris suburbs Monday night after two boys, aged 15 and 16, died when their mini-motorcycle hit a police car. At least sixty policemen have been injured, and a school gym has gone up in flames.

Le Parisien reports that they burned down a Peugeot dealership, sacked a train station and shops, tore up a McDonald’s, stole the day’s receipts and attacked customers, smashed and burned cars, and are still going strong. I think the cars were all 2003's, its probably the only way to get them off the lot.

Violence is spreading from Villiers le Bel to a dozen neighboring communities. The insurgents are using firebombs, iron rods, baseball bats, and firing buckshot.

So is Baghdad now safer than Paris? Oh, the irony. Go get 'em, Sarko!
