The usual suspects: Yoots, slackers, neo-Vichyites.
PARIS (Reuters) - French police arrested more than 100 demonstrators and hundreds of students went on strike at a Paris university as left-wing protests against president-elect Nicolas Sarkozy continued for a fourth night on Wednesday.
Some 300-400 demonstrators gathered on the Boulevard St Michel in the Latin Quarter of Paris, ostensibly to protest against a march by far-right supporters.
The nerve of these people, imagining that they too have the right to march in the public streets. Why, it's positively counter-revolutionary!
Shouting slogans like "Sarko fascist! The people will have your hide!" and "Police everywhere, justice nowhere!", the demonstrators were cornered by hundreds of police close to the nearby Luxembourg Gardens.
Left conformists favor majority rule only when they are the majority. "Justice nowhere" is right, but only because Chiraq and the dhimmis are still in power. Just wait.
A police officer at the scene said 118 arrests had been made by 9.30 p.m.
The protests follow three nights of violent confrontations between police and young rioters in Paris and other cities that government politicians blame on inflammatory statements from left-wing politicians during the election campaign.
Such as "my goons will riot if I lose."
Although limited so far, the protests have awakened memories of the violent protests against a proposed youth jobs contract that shook France last year, especially around the Latin Quarter where police sealed off roads late on Wednesday.
Rioters in several French cities have already been sentenced for violent acts in clashes this week.
Trivia note: the guillotine was last used in France as recently as 1977. The last to feel the kiss of steel was one Hamida Djandoubi, a Tunisian immigrant convicted of the torture murder of his erstwhile girlfriend. |
