Is Paris Burning? Yes, Again!


We forget how good the French are at rioting, but after all, they kind of set the standard for popular uprisings back in 1789.  

Not that I think the current disorder will get anywhere near the intensity of that first one. Still, a de facto political monarchy that runs roughshod over popular interests might just want to take a lesson from 1789.

Good French Revo reference! The rioting in France (and Italy too) is so serious that I wouldn't be surprised to see the National Razor return. The Revo returns only this time with Islamic migrants vs Western identitarians.

DR.Guillontine invented a device that makes Frenchmen shrug their shoulders.

Another shooting in Michigan.

Yes, and an atypical shooter. Looks like he was motivated by an animus against Mormons.

I love the way the national press says had military training, when I hear that I think of grenade throwing training!

You can pick up most of it from video games, I expect.
