Gang terrorizes train in France. The cauldron continues to boil. They took the lid off long enough for some heat to escape but they did not solve the problem. The perps know they can get away with this and will continue to become bolder and bolder until a serious crackdown. The Gendarms will have to go in large numbers and will likely require some military assistance to quell the next outbreak. The "north african immigrants" (read: black and muslim) are moving in progressively larger numbers.

It's not going to be as simple as deporting them from whence they came. I feel like a broken record on this. Call me Cassandra

He was 16 mos. old when his little brother was born and he was walking and making wishes known by pulling me or my wife by the hand to whatever he wanted etc. He was fascinated with the wheels on toys. If you gave him a truck he'd turn it over and spin the wheels and smile. Only later would I find out this is a major warning sign. This was our first born and what the hell did I know? ...
