Les Miserables

Opinion from the Wall Street Journal

"Absent a major overhaul, Europe's welfare state continues to make it difficult for low-skill, low-wage laborers to find work. In a system like France's that protects the people already in jobs and keeps unemployment stuck at 10% (nearly triple that for the young), it's little wonder that the banlieues are burning. No better way exists to make someone feel part of a society than to give him a job in it.

The U.S. experience shows that all immigrants, regardless of race or creed, ultimately respond to the same incentives to embrace their new home. The Muslims of Europe are unlikely to be different."

How remarkably naive. The US was flooded with Christian and Jewish Immigrants for the most part, and it ALWAYS gets down to religion. Moslems need only look to their religion that specifically authorizes the use of deadly force to convert an infidel. Once one becomes comfortable with such a concept, violence is an acceptable means of communication, indeed, the preferred one when dealing with infidels.

Europe as we know it, is doomed. The fact that these disadvantaged youths rioted in France is not much of a surprise, as we've seen how quickly the Brit police for example, are quite ready willing and able to kill unarmed innocent civilians when England was terrorized. The politicians do all they can to placate the criminal element, but when the police are armed they usually try to settle the problem once and for all.

How far is France from issuing live ammunition to law enforcement? Depends on how much longer these youths can find the energy to burn Paris to the ground. A situation that SHOULD have been made an example was made the wrong example.

Do as you wish, we won't hurt you.
