Oh, you got that right, mon frere.

Taking a far less delicate approach, National Front leader and current presidential candidate Marine Le Pen referred to the recent mayhem as “€œa shame for France”€ and called the rioters “€œscum”€:

The forces of order are targeted by bands of scoundrels. The government is silent. A silence that reflects both its cowardice and its impotence….This government has remained unresponsive for years to scoundrels who make their laws in certain districts and do not hesitate to unleash their violence as soon as a demonstration gives them the opportunity….Security forces have been the target of gangs of scum that nothing seems to be able to stop anymore, and certainly not the courts in a overall context of decadence…..Support for Theo is an excuse to attack the cops.

Le Pen says that Hollande’s flaccid pleas for peace “€œwill leave France at risk of a real civil war.”€ She is also currently leading all other presidential candidates in every major French poll.

Le Pen is, but of course, being accused of “€œhate speech”€ and of “€œthrowing oil on a fire”€ by those who would prefer to view all this violence as the tortured chirping of caged birds who yearn to sing, of troubled and underprivileged teens who beat in bystanders”€™ brains because that is truly the voice of the unheard, of noble migrants who are repressed and squashed and made to feel unwelcome in a France that is still largely French, which makes you wonder why they just don”€™t return to Somalia and Algeria and put an end to their suffering.

When London police shot and killed a black gangster in 2011, the city burned for days. But when white British soldier Lee Rigby was hacked to death by black Islamists live and on video in 2013, no one even bothered to light a matchstick.

And despite the Charlie Hebdo massacre, the Bataclan massacre, and the Nice bus attack”€”all Islamist attacks in France which killed a combined 236 people”€”the native French couldn”€™t be troubled to even patch together a half-assed half-riot.

But here we have a solitary dusky youth worker whom police allegedly anally prong with a baton, and large swaths of the country burn. It appears that one side already has lost the will, while the other side has only started fighting. Either way, there is no respect, and so there can be no living together.

Where is Charles Martel when you need him?
