Americanization of French ethnic relations continues apace

 A quick note to say that we'll be posting our next piece before the end of July. In the meantime...

Riots in Nanterre, Paris, France, 29 June 2023

...Tuesday morning: As is the case dozens of times a day every day in France, a car full of young Arab delinquents is stopped by the cops for driving erratically. When asked for his license (he's too young for one) and insurance  (he doesn't have it) for the 75,000€ car he's driving (his single mom is on welfare), this 17-year-old decides, as he's done many times before, to flee. 

Before he can lead a wild goose chase and run over a hapless pedestrian (which happens every day in France) or try to flee the cops (which happens three times an HOUR in France, yes you read that right) by running them over, the cop shoots at the car, accidentally hits the teen, and he dies at the scene.

Usually when a foreign delinquent in a car tries to flee a cop in France (which, as noted, happens once every 20 minutes, that is 25,000 times a year), it's the cop who gets dragged / run over / paralyzed / killed.  From just the last few months,  à titre d'exemple :

Mickael, policeman turned paraplegic after being dragged by car fleeing arrest

Saint-Denis: Motorbike driver fleeing traffic stop runs over, seriously injures policeman

Vienne: Driver crashes through police checkpoint, sends police commander to hospital

Cannes: Two policemen sent to E.R. after being hit by motorcyclist fleeing traffic stop

Villejuif: Urban rodeo broken up by cops, one of whom is plowed into by fleeing biker

Castres: To avoid traffic stop, he hits cop with motorbike, sending him to E.R.

Lyon: To escape traffic stop at tollbooth, man crashes into cop car, two policemen injured

Melun: Motorbike drives on sidewalk, cop attempts to stop him, gets run over

Cannes: Driver of Nissan tries to run over police three times, the latter open fire

Narbonne: Two teens plow into six policeman while fleeing a traffic stop in stolen car

Béziers: Car thief attempts to plow into police, who are forced to open fire

Metz: Malian in BMW hits a policewoman while fleeing, then crashes into parked car

Nemours: Policeman severely injured after being dragged several meters by fleeing motorbike

Villecresnes: Policeman run over by fleeing motorcyclist during urban rodeo

Nantes: Tunisian illegal alien steals motorbike, attempts to run over policeman

Thonon-les-Bains: Fleeing a police stop, he embarks on a police chase and plows into cops

Toulouse: Driver flees police stop, tries to run over cops, who end up opening fire

So France's millions-strong youth delinquent class was incensed to see that once, just once, things didn't go their way. 

In response, they are currently burning the entire country of France to the ground.

Friday night, French authorities reported 1350 cars set on fire, 266 buildings burned or vandalized (of which 26 were city halls and 24 schools), and 2560 fires set in the streets.

Leftists are wringing their hands about the evil police, Nahel's welfare mom (no dad in sight) is sobbing that he was a good boy who didn't do nuffin',...

Queen of the parade: Nahel's mom honored for having raised a delinquent

...and soccer superstar Kylian Mpabbé (the French equivalent of Lebron James) has decried the loss of this young 'angel.'

(The 17-year-old angel, of course, already had 15 criminal charges including drug dealing, receiving stolen goods, resisting arrest, driving with stolen plates, driving without license or insurance...)

Nahel in happier times

Sound familiar?

Like in the U.S., the French imported an ethnically alien class to do the jobs they didn't want to do. Like in the U.S., they've proved unable or unwilling to send them back where they came from once their usefulness is outlived. And like in the U.S., this underclass has become actively hostile to the host population and today commits the lion's share of the country's violent crime. Including a pathological aversion to being pulled over by the cops.

Unlike in the U.S., however, France's Arab and African imports live high on the hog thanks to one of the most staggeringly generous welfare states in the world. Their housing is free, their health care is free, their bills are subsidized, they're showered daily with largesse from the French taxpayers whose cars they're currently lighting on fire.

So the notion that an 'underprivileged' immigrant class is pillaging Apple stores because they're starving to death is, to put it lightly, du grand n'importe quoi.

France in flames

So France has its new George Floyd, and the Americanization of racial mores in France continues apace. More on this in the days to come. 

Stay tuned for our latest piece coming soon.

Unvetted Afghans: A Bitter Harvest

Kabul Airport, August 16, 2021

America has finally bit the bullet and left Afghanistan, the ‘graveyard of empires’, after 20 years of failed nation-building. The airport in Kabul has been swarmed with Afghans trying to flee the country ahead of the Taliban’s hardline Islamist takeover.

 

Thousands of Afghan nationals have helped the occupier these last 20 years and thus have targets on their backs. Collaborators have in all times and places suffered the same fate: public humiliation, prison, or death.

French women shaved for collaborating, WWII

 

We are told we must immediately airlift these innocents to the U.S., as well as their families, and while we’re at it, any Afghan who’d like to hop on a military jet for a one-way trip through our golden door.

From the New York Times: 

There is no time for bureaucracy. The U.S. is now planning to take Afghans who are awaiting visas to third countries or U.S. military bases, but according to Varghese, it’s not clear what criteria will be used for vetting them. They should be as liberal as possible. We should not be consigning people to execution for lack of paperwork.

…  And, of course, we should bring as many as possible here. Canada, which is about one-ninth the size of the United States, has announced its intention to take more than 20,000 fleeing Afghans. There is no way to justify America accepting fewer on a per capita basis; 180,000 should be the absolute floor.

 

Ms. Goldberg seems to have forgotten we’ve been here before.

 

In 2015, as ISIS marched through Syria and Iraq sending millions fleeing, Angela Merkel threw open the doors of Europe. She promised no vetting: The Million Muslim March was on. 

From Hungary into Austria, September 2015

 

The entire global south was told it was ‘open bar’ in Europe, and they rolled in from Morocco to Uganda to Bangladesh. (We chronicled it in detail at the time.)

Africans take to the Med

Afghanistan, caught in a slow-boil civil war between the U.S.’s puppet government and the Taliban, also sent their share of desperate refugees ‘looking for a better life.’ Floating over on dinghies, with no vetting whatsoever, these young men poured into every corner of Western Europe, who welcomed them with open arms.

 

How did they thank their rescuers? We’re glad you asked.

 

They thanked them by committing a dizzying array of crimes; against the old, the young, the well-armed, the defenseless, from theft to rape to battery to murder, from teeming cities to tiny village hamlets.

The round-up below is just the tip of the iceberg. These are articles we have stumbled upon and saved in the years since Merkel’s ‘Million Muslim March’ into Europe began. A targeted search would no doubt turn up many hundreds more.

Are there any lessons for U.S. decision-makers here?

 

Tour d’horizon…

 

The Decapitation of France

                                                               Image source—Careful, extremely disturbing photo at link

In the suburbs of Paris on Friday, a man shouting 'Allah Akbar!' decapitated a middle school teacher who was on his way home.

 

Why? Charlie Hebdo is why.

 

Five years ago, 12 reporters at satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo were massacred during their morning editorial meeting in Paris by Arab jihadis. (We wrote about it at the time: 'Is Nothing Sacred?'). 

So to understand the real meaning of what happened Friday, we must go back a bit:

 

 

"Yellow Vests"—New French Revolution?

Liberty Leading the People (revisited)

We will regretfully be taking a short research break this winter, as life's surprises pile up, leaving us little time to publish. Thanks to all our regular readers for your patience and support.

But first: a view from the catbird's seat of the latest protest movement to sweep France. Your humble author has lived among the French for many years, so… What is going on? Why are people so angry? Are these the rumblings of a new French Revolution?

Crashing the Gates: A Crash Course

Storming the Hungarian border at Hogros, Serbia, September 16th, 2015

(Or, The European Migrant Crisis: A Reader.)

From the Pope to the E.U. to the U.N., the narrative has taken shape: 'Millions of refugees fleeing war-torn regions are flooding into Europe, and we must take them all in.'  If one doesn't embrace it whole-heartedly--and many Europeans do not--one is 'vile,' 'shameful,' and 'spreading hate' (to quote German chancellor Angela Merkel).  Such closed-minded bigots need to open their hearts and homes.

We here at TWCS argue that there is much more to the story. From our privileged perch here in continental Europe, we enjoy access to scores of local news stories which haven't seeped into the international media. So as with the Charlie Hebdo massacre, we're taking a slight detour from our normal blogging in order to give a press round-up we hope some may find useful. From our seat in the very front row, we humbly invite you to join us on a tour of the less-reported sides of this epochal event. But kindly buckle up first.

Is Nothing Sacred

'A towelhead kisses a kike's ass'--Charlie Hebdo on the 1977 Egyptian visit to Israel

 ('So, should we make peace?' 'Keep going, I'll let you know')

Despite appearances, we are hard at work here at Those Who Can See, sticking to our adage of 'if it ain't ready, don't publish it.'  An unusally busy winter work schedule is slowing down but not stopping us.

But a quick interlude is in order.  The recent attacks in France have taken over the news cycle here, spawning much journalistic heat but little light on both sides of the Atlantic. We'd like to give a brief snapshot of some of the  less-seen bits of the story.

Alors, pour les curieux...


I. The Magazine

Charlie Hebdo, for those unfamiliar, is a French satiric weekly born in 1970 from the ashes of Hara Kiri, itself inspired by Mad Magazine.

It is the baby of counter-culture leftists.  Their number one targets have always been conservatives and Christians. A sampling (some courtesy of MPC):

When the famous 'Piss Christ' angered Catholics in Avignon, Charlie said:

All Religions in the Shitter!
