Violence in Paris

The was considerable violence during a demonstration of high school students in Paris on March 8th. "Considerable" means that hundreds of teenagers were beating up and robbing others. I am curious as to why this story did not make it into the Finnish press - or maybe I didn't find it?

Anyway, here is the article from Le Monde, if you read French.

Anyway, there was a demonstration of high schools students, demanding AFAIK more money for high schools, and it was invaded by hundreds of people, mostly from Seine-Saint-Denis and other northern suburbs, many of them students of a vocational school in Seine-Saint-Denis, who started beating people up and robbing them of cell phones and other robbable objects.

The article quotes a few of the criminals, who are saying that, surprise, they went there to rob people and beat them up because it's easy money, fun, and you get to avenge yourself on the white people. Apart from the great crime of being white, people were beaten up for being skateboarders, goths or simply dressing up too much. The criminals also pointed out that white people are cowards, that they walk the streets alone, as opposed to in a group, and therefore constitute easy targets, and that they can always buy a new cell phone or a MP3 player.

For whoever does not know, "students of a vocational schools in Seine-Saint-Denis" is a politically correct French way of saying "mostly Arabs, some blacks".

Note to self: Seine-Saint-Denis is probably not a good place to visit.

Note to the French: you've lost Algeria and it's OK, but losing northern suburbs of Paris is probably not a good idea.

Point to ponder: how do you beat people up at a demonstration? Isn't there a lot of other people around to stop you? Was everybody afraid to intervene or did the criminal somehow always position themselves to outnumber the victims?

Flashback: I've seen this before. There used to be a group called Lyubery, from Lyubertsy, a suburb of Moscow. They also liked to go to Moscow to beat up people. They could not well practice anti-white violence on account of being white themselves, so they used to target young people who were in their opinion unusually dressed. That was in the mid-eighties. Wonder what became of them.
