Muslim riots break out in no-go zones of Paris suburbs
After a number of years, more Muslim riots have broken out in France, this time in Nanterre:
A Paris suburb was struck with major violence overnight as residents protested the shooting of a teenager by police, with a major police deployment ready for more anger tonight.What's angering besides the violence, of course, is that the officer's doubtless being scapegoated here, when the illegal driver and all the rioters who caused chaos in the wake of this are the ones to blame. And these no-go zones should be closed off, and all monsters dwelling there should be deported out of the country. And that, regrettably, is something that's unlikely to happen for a long time, if at all.
A major police deployment to French cities is planned for this evening, with 2,000 extra officers called out, after a night of violence apparently triggered by the death of a teenager who tried to escape a traffic stop. Violence spread to several French cities and saw a town hall office burnt down.
17-Year-old ‘Naël’ was shot dead by police on Tuesday morning after he attempted to flee a traffic stop in Nanterre, a Paris suburb. Per a report in French newspaper Le Figaro police attempted to pull over a delivery driver in a yellow Mercedes breaking road rules, but the suspect refused to comply, started his engine, and tried to drive away, despite an officer having his sidearm barrel pressed against the car windscreen.
While the vehicle sped away after the officer opened fire, it crashed a short time later. The driver, who according to the report was already known to police for repeated counts of driving without a license and for refusing to comply with traffic stops, was killed in the incident. An investigation has been opened into “intentional homicide” over the incident and the officer placed into custody.
Anger over the outcome of the traffic stop emerged quickly in the Nanterre, which is home to a handful of so-called Zone Urbaine Sensible, or ZUS, a French government marker which is often rendered in English as a ‘No Go Zone’. The system allows the French government to target specific areas with identified ‘cohesion’ problems with extra funding and programmes.
