More Violence and Rioting in France and Venezuela
Via Gateway Pundit, two excellent compilations of news links and photographs:
- The first report is from the Paris suburbs (and now spreading to numerous other villages), where--as was the case last year--violence and firebombing have broken out in predominantly Muslim neighborhoods. The updated post now has 86 Police reported injured, including by shotgun fire and one from a high-caliber bullet. Nina Poller of Pajamas Media has a particularly gripping report on the violence:
Violence is spreading from Villiers le Bel to a dozen neighboring communities. At least twenty policemen have been injured so far tonight (forty injured last night according to the latest figures), some of them critically. The insurgents are using firebombs, iron rods, baseball bats, and firing buckshot. Journalists are attacked, their cameras are stolen. ...
- The second breaking story is from Venezuala where student rioting against Hugo Chavez' referendum to suspend the Constitution and to allow Chavez to become President for Life has erupted in multiple cities. Multiple reports have police shooting students. Meanwhile Chavez continues his war posturing against Colombia.
