GRENOBLE, France � Rioters exchanged gunfire with police in the French city of Grenoble early Saturday, setting fire to shops and cars after police shot dead a man accused of robbing a casino.

Youths torched between 50 and 60 cars in the southeastern French city, as well as construction equipment and two shops, while police arrested a 17-year-old and an 18-year-old, police said.

Interior Minister Brice Hortefeux was to visit the city Saturday afternoon, his ministry said.

The rioting started after a memorial service for 27-year-old Karim Boudouda, who died 24 hours earlier in a shootout with police after allegedly holding up the Uriage-les-Bains casino near Grenoble.

Shortly before midnight, a group of around 30 youths armed with baseball bats and iron bars attacked a tram in Boudouda's working class district of La Villeneuve and forced the passengers to get out.

Police intervened to protect the passengers, and the youths began torching vehicles and attacking police who responded with tear gas.

At around 2:30am (0030 GMT), a youth emerged at the front of the rioters and fired a shot at police, who returned fire four times, police spokeswoman Brigette Jullien told AFP.

Nobody was injured in the riots, police said.

By Saturday morning order been restored in La Villeneuve, and police could no longer be seen on the neighbourhood's streets.

According to police union SGP-FO, violence has been on the rise in recent months in Grenoble.

"Police are at breaking point," said regional union chief Daniel Chomette, who called for reinforcements.

The casino at Uriage-les-Bains was the third to be attacked in southeastern France and Switzerland since late March.

An alleged accomplice of Boudouda escaped during the shootout and is still on the run. Police found between 20,000 and 40,000 euros (25,000-50,000 dollars) in the back of the getaway car.


Guess who?

I assume you all remember the thread about Asians being attacked by African Americans in Philly:

http://islamineurope.blogspot.com/2010/06/paris-chinese-protest-against-lack-of.html

Asians in Paris are so frustrated by the "youth" on Asian violence they had a protest. The protest turned into a riot with "youth" and Asians having a nice scrap in the streets. In France. Paris, France. In Europe.

Malmo, Sweden � At some point, the shouts of �Heil Hitler� that often greeted Marcus Eilenberg as he walked to the 107-year-old Moorish-style synagogue in this port city forced the 32-year-old attorney to make a difficult, life-changing decision: Fearing for his family�s safety after repeated anti-Semitic incidents, Eilenberg reluctantly uprooted himself and his wife and two children, and moved to Israel in May.

Swedish experts agree that integration of Muslims into Swedish society has failed, and this undermines the development of a more diverse society. Many pupils in heavily Muslim schools reject the authority of female teachers.


It failed. No kidding. What now? Send them home?

The police in the Norwegian capital Oslo revealed that 2009 set yet another record: compared to 2008, there were twice as many cases of assault rapes. In each and every case, not only in 2008 and 2009 but also in 2007, the offender was a non-Western immigrant. At the same time, in 9 out of 10 cases, the victim was Norwegian, not just by nationality, but also by ethnicity.


100%. That's quite the feat. If not for non-western immigration Oslo would be without rape. 9/10 a white Norwegian too.

Will this turn out well?

The police arrest two teenagers after a VIOLENT PROTEST over the police killing of a guy the previous week. It may have turned into a riot, but it's presented in the report like some sort of Clockwork Orange 21st century post-apolcalyptic gang emergence. Gawd the right wing media get it wrong.

Protest? Shot at police? Attacked a (full) tram?

I wonder what their rationale is for supporting the casino robber. If you don't want to die, don't get in a shoot-out with the police. Does anyone have more information about this? Do the rioters think, "oh if he was a white guy the police would have just let him shoot at them?" At least with Rodney King I could understand why people were pissed off.

My aunt works in the court system in Munich. She says about 7/10 people she sees are foreigners. Not all muslims though, some are Serbs and Russians.

Give the police real guns and orders to use them and there will be a lot fewer "disaffected youths." This is domestic terrorism, not "protests."

I agree Rutabaga. What is going on in France now is not simply 'crime.' It is a concerted effort on the part of Islamists to destablize large areas of French cities with the eventual goal of establishing Sharia law.

The real problem for the French and for other Europeans is a demographic one. Muslims are reproducing to beat the band. They are the fastest growing demographic in Europe by far. Ethnic Europeans are simply not reproducing themselves and will soon be outnumbered. The dhimitude is right around the corner. The youngest of us will see it in our lifetimes.

I think that why French people 'don't hump more frequently' is not the question. My best bet is that they 'hump' just as much as anyone else. The real question is why do French couples put off having children until quite they are quite old and why do so many French women opt for abortions?

I think the answer to the above questions can be found in the influence of French existentialism, secularism, feminism and Marxism on French culture. I think a mix of these four has determined the very low Ethnic European birthrate not only in France but in other European countries as well. Muslim families are not influenced by these ideologies.

it's amazing how i made a thread with an article about jews and hollywood and im an anti-semite yet i see some incredibly anti-muslim rhetoric and nobody even flinches.

I mean seriously, imagine if I said that that the growing Jewish population in Europe is a problem, I'm sure a lot you would of jumped on me and labeled me a racist. Yet, I if I did the same for muslims it's fair game.

Do you recognize the double standard?

Well I would say that its not quite the same. A radical zionist gone bad usually torments his Palestinian neighbors, or engages in massive fraud (that whole Kstreet thing) while radical Islam usually results in massive war.

The French are not masters in their own house anymore.

They couldn't even hold together their national football team at the world cup.

They were upset because one of their gangster friends was caught.
Gangsters are terrorists whether in the US or France. They are at war against your country. They think they are often entitled to do what they want in the name of dealing with prejudice. It's not acceptable. Stop point blank with weapons any such acts. If you attack the state, you may get killed. It's as simple as that.
