The News from France
My heart just aches. I can't even be snarky. Not yet.

Shades of L.A. in 1992. Though our riots only lasted for three days, and these have gone on for eight.
Ironically, in L.A. it underscored the line between the decent and the indecent: despite the racial overtones to the rioting, when I waited in line at the supermarket alongside black people we still shared a camaraderie: we were part of the decent people who wanted to hunker down with our loved ones until the craziness stopped.

Oh come on... you can be a little snarky.
I thought France was the home of Euro-togetherness where people of all sorts lived in blissful happiness, eating cheese and drinking wine.....
Turns out all is not sweetness and light in the home of appeasement.

Unfortunately, this was almost inevitable. France has been allowing immigrants in for a long time, people with either no skills or not having jobs for them. The country is like 25% Muslim, most of whom are poor and downtrodden. They are kept on what amounts to reservations.
I just wonder how long this is going to go on, and how bad it can get. It reminds me of the opening of a book by Larry Bond called Cauldron, which ended up with Europe at war.
