Accent on Virginia

Why did Jerry Kilgore lose? Plus: Neo-Post-Vichy France and the lit-up City of Light. The CIA in black site. And much more.

/p> p> The fires in and around Paris give a whole new meaning to the slogan, Paris: City of Lights. Or perhaps this is just "Nouvelle French Fry"? Or maybe, the French can mollify their Muslims and rename the country Paristine? Let them round up the Arab scum and ship them out. The French have lots of past experiences with this option.

Interesting. I lived in Europe during the "minor" versions of this back in the early '90s. (Bombings of the Paris Metro and other trains/train station luggage lockers/trash cans.) Many of the targets were "things" not people, but a few were injured and a couple were killed and this froze the French government from reacting for MONTHS.

Crimes occurred in the "suburbs" where the concentration of North Africans and other Islamic populations are high. Mostly property crime (car vandalism for instance) and break-ins. It was bad enough that many German (I was living in Germany) auto insurance companies would not cover for damages to autos unless they were parked in a "secured" private parking garage when driven in France.

Then these escalated to murders of those in the communities that "dared" speak out about the violence and intolerance, (one reason why mainline Islam will not speak out against the Fascist branches).
