Major EU City Rioting!Paris.As Usual.

A couple of things.
Why did they stop him. Under French law (and ours) they have that legal right, but why did they stop him. Sadly the stats tell us that minority groups are stopped, per capita, far more than white people. Why?
That being the case is it not surprising that doubt and suspicions amongst minority groups is rife.
I don't condone him running, but I can, perhaps, understand why he may, as a 17 year old, be scared.
He is a kid. In the UK that would not have happened. You know it, I know it. But prejudicial behaviour by the police in the UK does happen, we know it.
But the bigger problem, from our (UK) viewpoint is why we have people like Trymer and Basel condoning this kid's death, indeed celebrating it. Basel thinks the police should get a "pat on the back" for killing this kid. Suggesting, in an astonishing show of rank ignorance, that this is what would happen in the States. You know Nobby that this is not true.

The disturbing thing in all this is that people like Basel and Trymer have the right to vote. The sort of people that, sheep like, were led by the nose in the 1930s.

The go fund me for the Policemans family raised over 1.5 million Euro.....lets hope that theres another one for the firefighter who died.

They did? Quote perhaps?

I can see another summer of rioting in France this year and it could well spread to nearby countries.

Just back from a long weekend in Paris. Mostly in the centre but did go to Red Star Paris vs Dijon in St Ouen which is near St Denis and the edgier part of town.
Not one Palestinian flag seen over 3 days. Not one. 
A lot of the red, white & blue flags, the tricolor. The French flag proudly flies everywhere. 
Wow - imagine being proud of your country? They have a strong tradition and culture, and get this, are bloody proud of it.
The French have a history very similar to the UK. We share the same size population and generally the same economic performance.
We also share an era of colonisation, empire and involvement in the slave trade.
Do the French wake up, wailing about the past? Wringing their hands? Self-flagellating about what they may or may not have done 200 years ago? 
Do they fu*k.
They are proud. They just get on with it. No woke culture here. No cancel culture. Fair play to them. 
And I doubt they will tolerate civil disturbance in the centre of Paris. Their Police won't be dancing the macarena with Hamas supporters - they will be out with the batons and the tear gas. The French Police control the streets. 
I had my doubts about the French before going over to Paris. Right now - they look they have the right idea. 
Vive la France!

Central Paris is kept safe because they rely on so many tourists,its the suburbs that surround Paris that are dodgy.
Epping makes the point about Britain and France having the same size population but France is 2 or 2.5 times the size of Britain ?
I think thats a problem here too many people for the size of the country,you drive from one town to the next and dont go through countryside any more the towns have expanded into each other.

Interesting the point about French flags being flown,my Swedish relatives say about that here,the Swedish flag is a common sight over there but we dont see St George cross or Union Jack here that often now.

Spain contains within it more than 505,000 1km squares. But only 13% of them are lived in.”

By recalculating population density in each country using only the land area where people actually live he produces a measure of what he calls “lived density”.

By this yardstick, Spain’s population density leaps from 93 people per square kilometre to 737 – way above the equivalent for England and the Netherlands. From a human point of view, Spain is a densely populated country that happens to have a lot of empty countryside attached to it. Another good example is Iceland – which has a conventional population density of just 3 people per square kilometre, but a more convivial 187 when it comes to lived density.

October the 7th and Jewish people scared to walk the streets of England tells us this Hamas supporting enemy,need deporting.

I do not want to share my country with these scum.Quite comfortable with that and believe the majority of Britons feel more or less the same.

This maybe the legal position,but scum on par with ISIS ought to be gone.

A stronger Government might sort the enemy amongst us out.
