From AP:
PARIS - Worsening urban unrest reached central Paris for the first time early Sunday and youths set ablaze shops, businesses, schools and nearly 1,300 cars from France's Mediterranean resort towns to the German border.
The ineptness of the French government in permitting the riots to reach central Paris, is unexpected.
Meanwhile MSM keeps repeating the profound, fundamental error that is impeding efforts by the French government to defend the country. From AP:
The violence — originally concentrated in northeastern suburbs of Paris with large immigrant populations — is forcing France to confront anger long-simmering in the neighborhoods, where many Arab and African Muslim immigrants live on society's margins, struggling with unemployment, poor housing, racial discrimination, crime and a lack of opportunity.
From Reuters:
The violence has been seen as the expression of pent-up anger by youths, many Muslims of North African and black African origin, at police treatment, racism, unemployment and their marginal place in French society.
This profound misunderstanding of the goals of the Islamofascists leads the French government to believe it can just wait for this to blow over. Look at this insane strategy the French government is using:
For the second night in a row, a helicopter equipped with spotlights and video cameras to track bands of marauding youths combed the Paris suburbs from the air and small teams of police were deployed to chase down rioters speeding from one attack to another in cars and on motorbikes.
You've got to be kidding me. Small teams of police, chasing down rioters? Helicopters videotaping the carnage? This is the minimum possible response. After ten nights of riots it is evident that this approach isn't working.
Some 2,300 police poured into the Paris region to bolster security overnight while firefighters moved out around the city to douse blazing vehicles. Police reported nearly 200 arrests nationwide.
Only 200 arrests? It appears that for the most part rioters are escaping adverse consequences.
The strategy of the French government is flawed. This isn't going to blow over. The rioters don't want jobs. What they want is France.
The Koran doesn't instruct people to have healthy, prosperous lives. It instructs them to kill non-Muslims wherever they find them, or to make non-Muslims into second-class citizens. (See this post for details).
I can see this playing out in a couple of ways:
1) The Islamofascists realize that they've proven they can burn cars and buildings at will anytime they want. They fall back to their original positions and start blackmailing the government. It is possible as well that in this case they would conduct an intifada against France, blowing up places all over the country.
or...
2) The rioters keep rioting until they either take over France or are driven back by the French army.
