Official Warning: DO NOT GO TO FRANCE
Paris racked with violence. That was illustrated yesterday by photographs of an elegant woman in high heels set upon by youths in the trendy Esplanade des Invalides

Fear ... she is held as man tries to grab her bag
BRITONS have been warned: Stay away from riot-torn Paris.
The Foreign Office says the French capital — which has been rocked by violent demos — is too dangerous.
Cars have been set alight, shops looted and gangs of youths and masked men swinging baseball bats and wooden planks have had running battles with riot police who have used water cannon and tear gas.
The Foreign Office alert is a huge blow to France. 
Attack ... she is hurled to ground as yobs taunt her
They harried the defenseless woman like a pack of wolves, oblivious to watching police and photographers. One ripped her handbag away while another rifled through her pockets.
Fear ... another victim on floor as rioter grabs bag
Some hotels around the famous Left Bank of the River Seine — usually full of romantic couples strolling hand in hand — have boarded up their windows up as armoured vehicles with water cannons patrol the streets.
French President Jacques Chirac, in Brussels at an EU summit meeting, called the violence “intolerable and unacceptable” and ordered authorities to punish troublemakers “with all necessary severity”.
What a dangerous clown theis man turned out to be. France is burning. -Atlas
The violence — which has spread to other cities — has led to more than 1,400 arrests and more than 450 cops being injured.
Attack ... yobs put the boot in as man hits ground
Interior Minister Nicolas Sarkozy said many of the rioters were the same ones — from poor suburbs with high unemployment — who brought chaos to the streets during three weeks of violence last year.
He added: “There were hoodlums who are the same as the rioters of November. Clearly some people are using these events to vandalise and attack.” Hat tip TOM P, oy
Notice how no one mentions the 800lb Muslim in the room. Oh and speaking of 800 lb gorillas, have you seen this in the mainstream media? -Atlas

France should read The Manifesto.
By the way, Pamela: what's a yob?

Funny how it's mentioned that there are roving gangs of "yutes" running around with bats and planks. I wonder how many baseball bats sell in France, who is buying them, and how many baseball teams are fielded in the country. Funny how they have such strict control over firearms, but none over other deadly weapons - since no one plays baseball in France, why do they need to sell bats in the first place?
I'm sure if any of these mugging victims ever pulled out a taser or pepper spray in self-defense, they'd be sent off to jail, alongside cousins of the muggers in the cellblock. Shame.

Is yob another word for muck-muck?
I prefer muck-muck.
