Default Woman Set on Fire: Riot in France
Woman Set on Fire

Quote:
AUBERVILLIERS, France — Marauding bands of Muslim youth set fire to cars and warehouses and pelted rescuers with rocks early Saturday, as the worst rioting in a decade spread from Paris to other French cities. The United States warned Americans against taking trains to the airport via strife-torn areas.

A savage assault on a bus passenger highlighted the dangers of travel in Paris' Muslim-filled and impoverished outlying neighborhoods, where the violence has entered its second week.

The African immigrant attackers doused the woman, in her 50s and on crutches, with an inflammable liquid and set her afire as she tried to get off a bus in the suburb of Sevran (search) Wednesday, judicial officials said. The bus had been forced to stop because of burning objects in its path. She was rescued by the driver and hospitalized with severe burns.
This happened yesterday. What the hell is going on in France?

DD we need to find a french paper in english. I watched the news in Austin on friday and one of the stations was saying it was an ongoing muslim protest to French counter-terroist activites but the clip was too quick and vague to be informative. I am gonna go hunting for a french paper and post what I find.

I can't find the article. Again... but I had sent it to my brother. Maybe he has it... maybe I didn't understand it or I missed something. Every article I'm reading is different.

Two muslim youths were running from the police and tried to climb a fence at a power station in which they planned to hide. Unfortunately they didn't see the sign that said, "Danger Electric Fence", and they were electricuted to death. I am not sure how or why, but somehow that incident sparked the ongoing protest. I saw this on the news last night, and will look for a link for your information.

Youth Electrocuted

Quote:
The violence — sparked after the Oct. 27 accidental electrocution of two teenagers who believed police were chasing them in Seine-Saint-Denis — has laid bare discontent simmering in France’s poor suburbs ringing big cities. Those areas are home to large populations of African Muslim immigrants and their children living in low-income housing projects marked by high unemployment, crime and despair.



"Violence is not a solution," Interior Minister Nicolas Sarkozy, accused of stoking passions by calling troublemakers "scum", told reporters after the Villepin meeting.

"Once the crisis is over, everyone will have to understand there are a certain number of injustices in some neighborhoods. We are trying to be firm and avoid any provocation. We have to avoid any risk of explosion," he said.
ok, I did misunderstand. lol They weren't executed, they were Electrocuted. Thanks EEWRED.

Good catch Eewren! I forgot that part. Here are some french articles I found. Not much about this.

Not much on this. Bet it will take an understanding of Islamic culture in Paris and France to get a wrangle on this one.
