Parisian bus drivers strike as suburbs riot again
Oct 23 2006 17:33
Anyone got anything on this? Jef Costello - anything you seen en francais peut-etre? i glanced at french IMCs but couldnt see anything. Uk media doesnt have much.
Anyway - yesterday a bus was burnt in the suburb of Grigny after all the passengers were ordered to get off it. Then riots ensued when the cops/firemen came to clear up and carried on into the night. Apparently today bus drivers refused to drive in the area for fears over safety.

At least 500 people have marched silently through a suburb of Paris in memory of two teenage boys whose deaths a year ago sparked riots across France.The crowd in Clichy-sous-Bois held a banner saying the two youths from immigrant families "died for nothing".

No, we should give it to right-wing demagogues who want a neo-fascist state as well. Fucking Cunt.
I've done a few bits for news and a blog post as well, I feel so industrious.
If you hook me up with a link for submissions guidelines I have another idea or two.

Major burns mate, she's probably going to die.
I didn't put the picture in because it's from liberation, but if you want to add it.

I wish someone would burn some of our Renault PR 100-3s (same buses as used in Paris, not that one in the pic though) because they are fucking shit to drive. But we seem to be heading for another hot summer so they'll probably start burning on their own

Got a new story up. I also put up a trans of an interesting flyer. I didn't put it in news as I think they were trots and according to the submission guidelines libcom articles must encourage violence against them.
This happens fairly often, I'll have a look at Le Parisien tomorrow. I'll pop it up on news if I can get it done for tomorrow night.
French indymedias are often quite slow.
