I'll Bet None Are Named Francois or Henri

As threatened by socialist loser Segolene Royal, those frisky French "youths" went on a rampage after Nicolas Sarkozy was declared the of the French presidential election.

Overnight Monday some 500 youths shouting "Sarko, fascist!" went on a rampage in the Bastille district of Paris, burning 10 cars, looting two stores and smashing windows, police said.

More than 200 people were detained during four hours of clashes in which protesters threw stones and other projectiles at police, one of whom was injured. Fifteen people remained in custody on Tuesday.

The flare-ups echoed Royal's pre-poll warning that a Sarkozy victory could see the country slide into unrest.


Of course, the news media are protecting us from learning anything about the neighborhoods that these "youths" come from. But, as the title suggests, I doubt that any have names anyone would recognize as French.
