Today's Washington Post runs an apologist piece telling us that the thugs who are doing their darndest to burn down Paris are simply misunderstood youth. According to this piece (of tripe):
One of Rezzoug's "kids" -- the countless youths who use the sports
facilities he oversees -- is a husky, French-born 18-year-old whose parents
moved here from Ivory Coast. At 3 p.m. on Saturday, he'd just awakened and
ventured back onto the streets after a night of setting cars ablaze."We want to change the government," he said, a black baseball cap pulled low over large, chocolate-brown eyes and an ebony face. "There's no way of getting their
attention. The only way to communicate is by burning."
Rrriiiiight.
I've been staying away from this topic, other than one post early on, because it's getting a ton of coverage from people who know a hell of a lot more than I do. However, every so often, I run across something like this, that chaps my ass (sorry) so badly that I can't help myself.
I'm sure the people manipulating these thugs have got them fully brainwashed - "Your cause is just. You are taking the only course of action open to you. You are making the French listen to you", that sort of nonsense.
Well, sorry. No one owes you anything, folks. Just because the socialist French have been training you differently since the 60's (which is a subject for another rant in the next few days), you are the only ones who can help yourselves. Burning the friggin city is going to get you nowhere.
