Another night of anti-Sarkozy rioting left hundreds of cars torched and at least one police officer injured. LGF has the scoop on how the international media is minimizing the riots and has the actual toll of the violence. News reports claim that even the Communist Party in France is disowning the left wing rioters:
Police said members of far-left groups and anarchists were involved in the clashes in the cities and that there were also incidents in the high-immigrant suburbs.
“We are not really talking about troublemakers in the suburbs, but apparently (…) about young people on an ideological crusade,” said Jean-Claude Delage of the Alliance union representing law enforcement officers.
The Communist Party condemned the violence, blaming “a small number of people who have seized on the presidential election as a pretext for harmful acts of no political significance.”
In the southernwestern city of Toulouse, three police officers were injured by projectiles during clashes in which more than 60 cars were set alight. Twenty two people were detained, according to a local police spokesman.
A creche was set on fire during clashes in the northern city of Lille between anti-Sarkozy protesters and police, in which 46 people were detained and 61 cars torched.
That part in bold must really irk Communist Jihad supporter Lenin’s Tomb who was set to give more support to his radical friends. What to do, follow the party’s directives, or cheer on the mayhem and violence you crave? Poor Lenin’s going to lose some sleep on this one.
