A judge in the Paris suburb of Bobigny has charged two police officers in connection with the 2005 electrocutions of two teens whose deaths sparked three weeks of rioting in France, officials said Thursday.

Remember the riots that went on in France last year. Remember how this was caused by two teen aged Muslim youth who ran from the police and electrocuted themselves climbing a charged fence. Now the police officers are being charged in their deaths and could face 5 years in prison. When did George Bush become President of France?

It's all this PC crap again. It's strangling the world. It they walk like a duck, talk like a duck, they're probably a duck. Why are individuals afraid to call it what it is?

Thats stupid. They electrocuted themeselves!!!!

Clearly France dont have Darwin awards

Is it any wonder why France is not a world power? With lunacy like that it could never be.

it wouldn't be at all surprising to find out that the youths WERE in fact killed by cops. ironically if the story of them getting electrocuted themselves came out it was probably to AVOID rioting, because of the incredibly tense situation between what we can basically refer to as underprivileged youths from poor families (poor families created by too much immigration and too little gov't action to deal with it - watch a film called "hatred" - "La Haine" it covers the situation quite well)

just the other day (yesterday) a youth got physical with ticket controllers in a train because he didn't have his ticket, and when police came to take him away, they were a little too brutal for some nearby youths' tastes and they started a riot in the train station (one of main Paris stations) lit shit on fire and in the end some 200 individuals were arrested if i'm not mistaken, France is a powder keg even now, the potent combination of mass immigration to the country, mediocre schooling, housing, social services and lots of prejudice and even in some cases racism and hatred towards immigrants.... combined with a gov't that has no clue as to how to treat the issue... it's a beautiful thing and I sincerely hope that Segolène will win and stop the violence... I fear that if Sarko wins that he'll clamp down even more and people will get even more pissed off.

Oh Popov, your moonbat is showing. Mollycoddling the "youths" never solves the problem it just emboldens them to push things further and further.

But if there is a message in your post it's "the potent combination of mass immigration to the country, mediocre schooling, housing, social services and lots of prejudice and even in some cases racism and hatred towards immigrants.... combined with a gov't that has no clue as to how to treat the issue"

America must resist mass immigration, mediocre schooling, housing and social services. We need a leader who has a clue about how to treat this issue and won't make things even worse.

France is a great example of how moonbat policy leads to the destruction of a nation.

Its not only France, it all over Europe. One day we will see that Europe is no longer anything like it is now or has been for hundreds of years. That change will not be for the better.

This is true. Hence why the dutch are fleeing. Have a country live under moonbat ideals til everyone wants to run away, beautiful.

Well, we say that, but then again people were freaking out when the coal and gas union became the european union, and they were freaking out again when the schengen (open internal borders) policy was applied, and yet here we are with the Euro continuing to impress and the EU's economy as a whole doing well. Sure, this is a major issue that needs to be seriously dealt with, but it's not like Europe is being destroyed or anything, we're just experiencing difficulties.

Let's compare Europe to a car - the engine (economy) is fine, it might need a general checkup, but apart from maybe a few leaks and dirty filters, there aren't any real problems. The passenger space (countries' populations) is overcrowded, but that doesn't mean the car can't move forward, it just does so by spending more fuel (budget) and by cutting a few corners in the field of safety...

the verdict - problems - yes, critical problems - no

Popov, that is how things change into something unwanted. A little at a time. Nibbling away at the edges of society, errosion of values, core beliefs remade into something absurd.

In my area the little league (baseball) are now unable to say anything to the batter or they will get suspended for the season. The reason? Because it may affect the self esteem of the batter. They are not allowed to keep score because the little guys may not like losing.

What is being bred here? In life there are winners and losers. Yet the kids today are being isolated from that, they are being made into this homogenous mush that can't cope.

The ideas may on the surface of things sound nice, but the underlying effect will be horrendous to society.

Your economic engine may be going along alright, but it is heading toward bankruptcy. How can a stagnant population that is growing older and living longer sustain the gifts from the government and survive? National healthcare is going to be the burden that breaks the back of the economy. To correct that what can be done? Kill off the old and disabled? Starve the healthy?

It scares me that the corporate bottom line has become the moral compass of today. The world's economy is far from being in great shape, it's a house of cards in a great drafty room and for the first time since the great depressions of the 1920's and 1930's too much of the world's wealth is laying unprotected in the stock market at the mercy of nations and people that would drop the trap door in a moment to make a buck.

It only takes a moment to see the EU refusing to deal with Iran (like they refused to deal with Saddam) because they are a source of profit for business. If that had been the case the US wouldn't have cut off trade with Japan in the 1930's as they invaded Manchuria and China, lend lease wouldn't have made any sense when the USSR badly needed assistance and time to move it's industries and bring production up to the point they could first resist Hitler and then push him back to Berlin and the nearly insolvent UK would have been seen as an unimportant trading partner as opposed to Hitler's Nazi Germany.

As it stands now if China decided to violently attack Russia the business decision would be to sit back and allow it to happen because through globalization China owns much of the USA's debt and we buy so much more of China's stuff than we do Russia's.

Government decisions need to be made on the basis of right and wrong, not what is good for business.

Popov, you're going to find that Europe is indeed being destroyed, not by the mere fact that they banded together into the EU but by poor decisions based on something other than national identity. France will at some point in time cease being France etc. and since the EU is an economic bond poor choices in the name of business are and will continue to usurp social and political decisions of vital importance to individual nations.

Europe will become Islamic within the next two decades with all that entails. You'll live under sharia law and you'll find your choices very limited and your personal freedoms all but gone. Only a fool invites the fox into his henhouse but that's exactly what Europe, the US and most of the world's nations have done. Business may still be good but life will suck.

Buzzy, I think that once the countries become Islamic, and freedoms are erroded to nothing, business will decay as well.

It is the free market, the freedom of ideas that makes business strong.

Far too much is "paper" wealth now. The stocks are growing, but it can blow apart far too quickly. Another 9/11 would blow the economy for a lot longer time than the first did. Any repeat would shake up investors and the public.

Brave new world, I can only hope that we have some good leaders who can protect us from the Pelosi's of this world.

I'm also looking for someone to protect us from the Bush's of this world. Predatory Globalization is destroying many nations of this world in the name of the ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT which seems to be the same no matter if it's being pimped by a Republican or a Democrat.

Jobs flowing overseas, insane trade practices with China, our government seizing private property to give to corporations who would "use it better", our infrastructure being sold to foreign business, propping up illegal immigration so businesses can use near slave labor for maximum profits, we're only a step behind the EU in becoming the world's biggest third world nation except where they are falling to Islam we're falling to Mexico and Venezuela.

Sadly, Buzzy, that is too true. I can't understand the globalization bit at all. Though, I really do believe it is an end times movement.

One of the things in the Biblical prophesy about the end times is that we will be united under Satan in a One Global entity. While there is to be ten areas, so to speak, it will all be under the rule of the Anti-Christ. Seeing this open borders stuff, the EU, the work going on between Mexico, the US and Canada, it makes what once was scoffed at as impossible, possible.

I don't think that the leaders who are looking to do this are evil in their intent. If we WERE one global community, there could be peace. At least in theory. Then again, socialism looks great in theory. In practice its convoluted.

I only hope that there is a rapture and that I won't have to face the end times as they are described.

Of course, y'all must remember that the biggest New World Order/One World Government types are the Bush family.
Just one more reason Dubya hasn't taken action against wetbacks or the Saudis.

What world are you living in?

Segolene isn't going to stop the violence. She is an appeaser, and beholden to the union interests. Sarko talks tough, but we all know that his approach involves affirmative action measures in addition to tougher law enforcement.

If you really want the violence to end, and the French do, then you've got to vote for Le Pen. Of course, he's not going to win, but I think he will make a good showing and could even possibly make it into the second round as before. Le Pen always polls lower than the election results because many people wont admit to the pollsters their support for Le Pen. But I think he could quite possibly make it to the second round, and then we would have Sarko vs. Le Pen with Sarko winning in the end. Bayrou has some interesting ideas, but law and order is the number one issue, and he doesn't poll well on that issue in my opinion.
