France

[transam]

Apparently they have deployed 45000 police on the streets of Paris to quell the unrest

Dare say the UK can expect an increase in migration across the channel in boats as the French have a clear out ???

Maybe if the little darling had done what the nice policeman with the gun was telling him to do, he would still be alive, just saying.

I'm sure there was another way of getting the young man to do as he was told.

 

[Deleted member 294929]

Maybe he was putting his shopping on the slate?

That's what happens when you loot at Top shop.

Makes me laugh when they describe it on TV as a "massive outpouring of grief and anger". It’s nothing but a massive outpouring of theft and looting.

Should have been asked (albeit a little more strongly on some occasions).

If a policeman with a gun gives me an order, my reply would be along the lines of, yes sir, no sir, three bags full sir.

And you still might get shot.
Too many nutters with guns, some handed out by their employers.

I agree with you on that. That's why I would comply with the order and not be a Richard Head.

Scumbags ?
Also
Imo they should send a contingent of french plod to the UK to
Deal with the fruit cakes gluing them selves to the road and other such caper

Violence has been solving a lot of the worlds problems since humans walked tbe earth

And if it did not not it’s because not enough was used ????

And this is the issue for youngsters today, too entitled not afraid of teachers Police authority, and when they do, they pull a plethora of cards from anxiety to 'X'ism X'ist' X'ophobix' etc.
I am also at a a loss with Politicians they're not what they used to be anymore, too afraid of their position and over financial opportunities being affected.

Someone like Macron needs to stand up and say

'Whilst it is deeply tragic this young lad has lost his life, it is NOT acceptable to riot and destroy your surroundings in the process as this will all come out of your pockets (ie the tax payer to restore!!) for decades to come not mine, all offenders will be arrested and will be given sentences and fines accordingly.
We are a society of Law and Order, this young lad was ordered by the law not to drive away. This did not justify him being shot, however at gun point the Policeman for whatever reason felt there was a threat to the public and acted accordingly, had the young lad just obeyed, for sure this would have never ended in such a sad way.
I take full responsibility for this investigation but insist this country safety is primary, Law and Order must prevail and you absolutely must comply with Police in every instance.

Define 'the right people'...

People that are given sanctuary in a country and then turn against that country and the population of that country. That or people that run the country down but are apparently happy to remain here when they say they could go (and would prefer to go), elsewhere. You know, hypocrites.

Are they really that different nowadays? Different issues, yes, but "youngsters" have always been criticised.

From a book in 1624, "Youth were never more sawcie, yea never more savagely saucie ... the ancient are scorned, the honourable are contemned, the magistrate is not dreaded."

Nothing is certain in this life but death, taxes, and the existence in every generation of fuddy-duddies who carp about things not being what they used to be.
