#1 "We have a huge deficit of tourists ahead of us. At least 10,000 tourists have cancelled vacations in Martinique and Guadeloupe."

Congratulations, idiots rioters.

You don't like "high prices and low wages"? Howzabout higher prices and NO wages?

Go ahead - turn another nice tourist destination into a socialist hellhole, you "revolutionary" idiots - I'm sure Fidel and Hugo will help you out.

#2 maybe Al Sharpie can fly down there and shame the wealthy white tourists into returning, because after all whitey had to do something to deserve this.

#5 "Robbing Everyone to Economic success" only makes sense to Marxists and other tyrants.

#6 Sorry, no sympathy for the Poms. You have to "know when to hold em - know when to fold em." Next time mind the football team. Mind the bloody football team. If you wait until no one will buy your flat or you've waited until the shooting starts, well, you've waited too bloody long!

#9 Guadeloupe is a French overseas department ruled directly from Paris

Is there any local control, or are all decisions made in Paris? Anybody know?

#10 They seem to forget that there are other, much more placid destinations in the neighborhood who would love to have the business.

I mean, sure, the baguettes won't be as "authentique", but I'm sure most of the tourists wouldn't know the difference anyway.

Come to think of it, the baguettes may become a thing of the past, if Haiti is any guide.

#11 Island residents send millions of dollars home from white majority France. Those transfers can be halted if this ingratitude escalates.

#12 Sure, the violence will totally trash the tourist trade for Bog knows how many seasons, but on the other hand, it is courageous of the Guadeloupers to hold this conversation about race relations. Right, Mr. Holder?

#13 People are not only cancelling this week, but also for all the months of February, March and April. We have a huge deficit of tourists ahead of us. At least 10,000 tourists have cancelled vacations in Martinique and Guadeloupe.'

Racists!
