For the 8th consecutive night, riots and other urban violences have erupted in many cités (= French urban ghettoised quarters) as the result of the death by electrocution of two kids chased by the cops. The unrest started in Clichy-sous-Bois and quickly spread to northern and eastern Paris to the whole country. Angry mobs of over 400 people have been burning cars (350 on Wednesday, over 500 thursday), throwing cocktail Molotov at the cops and bombing the police stations in various areas.

What started as a revenge for the kids' death, became a political outbreak to protest the zero tolerance measures brought in by interior minister Nicolas Sarkozy. Acting as mediators, the various Muslim associations did a great job at calming the anger felt among the teenagers.

These violences reminds me a lot of the Rodney King riots; it seems like France is 10 years late in the racial problem. Considering that the neighborhood where the unrests took place are part of the worst areas in the country, I'm not surprised of what happened. I mean if you have to add up the poor infrastructure, the overpopulation, the high unemployment, the constant crime and spark the whole thing up with racist cops arresting anyone for the fuck of it, that's what you get. These ghettos have seen similar outbreaks for the past ten years, but every time it's worse, signaling the slow death of the French government.

Do you remember when you were young watching that cartoon about a Marxist society full of blue creatures living in colored psychedelic 'shrooms. I thought it was funny how they were addicted to a green plant similar to the one that produces cocaine, were probably all gay since there was only one smurfette (unless she a ho) and how they all tricked that tall Israeli looking Gargamel dude. Sweet memories huh?

Anyway, the UNICEF came out with a new televised advertising campaign showing their beautiful fongus village getting bombed, leaving death and devastation among the smurfs, baby smurf being the only survivor. The goal of the campaign is to increase awareness about the bombing of Palestine by the Israelian army ooops... I mean against people to kill children or something like that and optionally to raise some funds.

If you too ever wandered what was the significance of the US flag, take a look at the pix cuz I found it.

This flag is one of the piece of Icario Doria's campaign "Meet the World.

Pretty slick and cool at the same time.

Found those pix on this website.

I was browsing the news today when I heard that Cindy Sheehan, an anti-war protester was arrested yesterday while expressing herself about the lil thingy that El Presidente Bush is having overthere in Iraq.

If you somewhat follow news that aren't fed to you by the right wing tall israeli run media (Not to mention Fox's Adolf O'Reilly) you would remember that Cindy Sheehan is the same person that lost her 24 years old son in the Oil War this April. The same person that camped in Double-U's Crawford Ranch this summer. I guess the Rethuglican finally got pissed off enough at that woman that they send the po-po to fine her a mere $50 for not having a permit to protest. Ok guys, that's weak. Hey POTUS, I know it's tough to be the most hated guy in the world so what don't you stop doing every homework that oncle Cheney is giving your ass?

Oh by the way, after that lil circus at his ranch this summer, POTUS took his private jet back to Crawford, TX and pressured his buddies in the City Council to make it illegal to park (and protest I guess) all around his beloved ranch.

And here is an exert that I took from the Buzz Flash website, it's pretty explicit:

Cindy Sheehan: We didn’t understand why the United States was there. We never thought that Iraq was an imminent threat to the United States. But Casey told me, "Mom, this is what we trained for. I’m ready. It’s my job. Because the sooner I get there, the sooner I’ll come home."And he came home three weeks later in a flag-draped coffin.

* POTUS= President of the United States

Dat big bitch Katrina has just gone medieval on New Orleans and I didn't even bother writing anything about it. It's not that I don't wanna but just that I didn't even know until this morning when my Political Science professor talked about it before I fell asleep on my desk.

So it's all over the news now, huh? What up? Louisiana aka the Big-Red-Conservative-Cracka-ass-cracka-anti-government state is begging Washington to send them money because there is water up and down every street. First of all and to plagiarize my teacher, I would say that it is phucking ironic that liberal tax payers in liberal states have to pay taxes so a bunch of redneck can reinject that same money (throught the mafia-run construction business) to build their houses back. I don't know if I should have laughed out loud or cryed when I heard that some rethuglicans who probably drank too much Hatorade were shooting at the rescue helicopters yelling their two reasons for that:
1/ Iman american, iman american, ive the raiyght too bear guns, it's my constitutional raiyght.
2/ The government shouldn't be involved in State issues because that would cause communism 

What else? The whole city is messed up and chingasos of people have died, but it's not like we lost a cancer cure right? Half of the state population has as much IQ as an oyster while the other half think that Bush is doing an incredible job. I even heard that those nice New Orleans samaritans have started to rob abandoned houses and stores, just like daddy. Is it me or every time you see a looter it's the same black guy with that same cap running out of the same store. The media got it like it was like an enormous mob so why is it always the same images that are shown. Maybe those tall Israelis at Fox News don't want to show their peers devalising stores like a crackhead would do. It's one of those moments that we wish that Wal Mart didn't sell guns 'cuz guess what, those looters won't think twice about taking them.

Sure it's too bad that one of the baddest city for partying in the derrty souf was just blewn away (and it's even badder that I haven't gone there yet) but shit this is not my primary issue right now. I am going to tell you what's the real issue, it's the fucking 3 DOLLAR A GALLON GAS PRICES, this shyt is ridiculous!!!

PS:
Oh by the way, since I couldn't find a decent picture of New Orleans under dat big bitch Katrina I looked up for something similar and found that pic of a battle scene in Irak.
