About Kate
Why this blog?
Until this moment
I have been forced
to listen while media
and politicians alike
have told me
"what Canadians think".
In all that time they
never once asked.
This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio - "You don't speak for me."

Are there areas in the US where this is the case?
Yes, and they weren't in Europe for a long time.
I'd liken them to gang-controlled areas that you could find in New York, Chicago, LA, etc.
From the article..."Valls has deplored the failure of decades of French urban and social policy which has led to what he called a social and ethnic "apartheid" across France."...
Actually, it is the SUCCESS of French urban and social policy that has led to this situation. Be careful what you wish for.
At least this time it's good old fashioned drug gangs, not holy warriors. I prefer the gangsters, they don't want to exterminate us in the name of Allah, just want us to buy their crap.
And to them we can just say,"no", like Nancy Reagan recommended so long ago.
btw, how DO these guys get fully automatic weapons so easily in tightly gun controlled Countries?
"btw, how DO these guys get fully automatic weapons so easily in tightly gun controlled Countries?"
I'd be looking at "first nations" reserves on the Euro border. :)

ask a professional journalist about this "notorious" housing estate.
now find the missing word in the article.
yeah... starts with M.
shshhhh...

Welcome to France - enjoy the fabulous Socialist NO-GO, Gun Free Zones at your leasure.
I have it; "MOOSE".
The perps are members of the Loyal Order of Moose, a far worse bunch that the Elks or masons.
Is there a prize?;-)
Members of a certain religious group's participation in drug trafficking would sure explain why they seem to always be available to riot over every little thing, regular working folks are at work,don't have time to protest.

Half Canadian, full Canadian just so long as you pay ALL your Taxs!

Didn't mention if the "gang" members were Muslim or not. I'm fairly sure there will be many "gang" related incidents in the months to come. They might be better off to hire the real gangs to clean up the Muslim problem because the latter is a far bigger problem than the gangs. Unlike the police, at least the gangs are armed, not to mention they probably lack the political correctness that's hindering the removal of Mohammed's gang.
