November riots were not about unemployment
Another big surprise in France.
According to a report established by the police of one of the departments surrounding Paris, most of the November rioters arrested in this department six months ago were what they call "integrated". Understand: they had a job.
The unemployment excuse was so big I can't even comprehend how most people swallowed it. The situation in France is serious, really serious, but inexperienced "youths", coming from an immigrant family and living in the suburbs are not the only ones having a hard time finding a job these days. Like in dear-to-French-hearts Soviet Union, graduated and sometimes experienced young people have to accept jobs that have nothing to do with their skills and experience to earn their life. These young people are not burning cars.
The report also underlines the fact that 98% of the rioters were French, but two-thirds had African or North-African origins and most of those who were arrested by the police six months ago were already known to the police, one of them for up to 30 infringments of the law. Most came from big families, families between 6 and 16 persons.
Can someone explain to me how a man and a woman, supposedly oppressed by the bad white man that wouldn't "give" them a "decent", "stable" (understand: for life) job, can give birth to 5, 6, 10, 14 children? And I won't even mention polygamy. Of course, the more you have children in France, the more "the State" oppresses you by giving you money, stolen to those who work and who sometimes cannot afford to have one single child.
Finally, Le Figaro's article ends with a reminder of the story of two kids, 9 and 10, who had been arrested in November while trying to torch a car. Respectively, the first one had 11 brothers and sisters, the second one had 14 brothers and sisters and came from a polygamous family.
Tell me: who's the oppressor here?
