So the lovely Euro 2016 football/soccer is on the telly, it's hot and all is calm ....

Except that

quote:

A French citizen has been detained at the Polish-Ukrainian border with an arsenal of weapons, media reported. The man may be involved in a plot to attack the Euro 2016 championships.
The man had in his vehicle 100 kg of explosives, fuses, three grenade launchers and several Kalashnikov assault rifles, M6 TV channel said. He was trying to smuggle the stockpile into France, the report said
The arrest has been confirmed by Ukraine's border service to RIA Novosti.

"Yes, we can confirm this happened, but it's SBU who's in charge of that," the press service said. The SBU, Ukraine’s security service, which steps in when foreign nationals get involved, declined to comment.

According to France's DNA news outlet, the man was arrested on May 21 and is still being held by Ukrainian authorities. The outlet says the man was also suspected of trying to acquire even more weapons.

20minutes.fr describes the man as a 25-year-old native of north-eastern region Lorraine, previously unknown to the French police. M6 TV says his home was searched and investigators discovered explosive components and a T-shirt bearing the symbols of a far-right group.

(ok the report is from RT but gently caress translating the French article)

so from now on one of the points of this thread is EURO 2016 SUICIDE BOMBER WATCH


Also, there are major riots going on in gay Paree and at first the press wasn't covering it, now they are ... FRANCE IN CHAOS – Biggest and longest protests & riots since French Revolution

Still it is pretty cool, all the setting police cars on fire and that

so the second part of this thread I guess is VIVE LA REVOLUTION!


What do you think the chances are of TOTAL CHAOS in Europe by September?

Roughly nil. Maybe you can get a different impression if you read enough Russia Today and something called anonHQ (site is down) that thinks whatever is going on in Paris is comparable to the French Revolution.

nobody else does terrorism on european soil these days

the far-left just spray-paints poo poo, has #hashtagcampaigns about things that offend them and occasionally has a march about some stupid bullshit

the far-right prefers the ballot box, memes and the occasional rant about things that have (((these))) things around them

even separatists aren't into terrorism because they like being elected more

and even then, none of these groups would mess with a football game because that's the most sure-fire way of pissing off a large chunk of europe

Riot police crack down on Paris protests against labour reforms

quote:

Thousands of protesters turn out on streets of French capital as refineries and nuclear power stations across the country come to a halt
Riot police arrested 16 people and fired teargas in violent clashes with protesters marching in Paris as striking workers continued to blockade refineries and nuclear power stations in an escalating stand-off over labour reforms.

Tens of thousands of people marched across France in protest against François Hollande’s planned labour bill, which aims to make it easier for companies to hire and fire workers and was forced through parliament without a vote this month following more than ten weeks of protests.

Police fired teargas at about 100 people on the edge of a protest march through Paris. Several masked people charged shop windows, smashing them, and cars were damaged near the route of the march. There were skirmishes at Place de la Nation as riot officers cordoned off protesters, some of whom complained of heavy-handed policing.

In Caen in Normandy, the website Normandie Actu filmed what it called a case of police violence as an officer appeared to repeatedly kick a demonstrator on the ground. The police described the incident as legitimate defence.

Police estimated between 18,000 and 19,000 people took to the streets in Paris, an increase on the last national demonstration day against the labour reforms. Unions put the figure at 100,000. Street marches took place in towns and cities across France, including Toulouse, Bordeaux and Nantes.

Striking French workers continued to disrupt oil refineries and nuclear power stations, halted some air traffic and trains and prevented almost all national newspapers from printing in the growing industrial action. Union activists blocked roads and bridges in northern France while some train drivers and air traffic controllers joined the action.
With just two weeks to go before France hosts around 2 million visitors at the showpiece Euro 2016 football tournament, the government is under increasing pressure to find an end to the dispute and stage some kind of climbdown

Seems a little like a tinderbox to me, but it is certainly different to compare protesters in the US to French ones. The former seem to not be able to effectively use force, or target it really poorly (like attacking some just for their political opinions despite any other provocation) while the latter don't seem to be easily cowed by authorities. Also, at this point, it seems like Hollande is alienating pretty much the left, right, and center in France, not completely unlike Angela Merkel.

Actually hitler had a big ol boner for islam:

Only in the Roman Empire and in Spain under Arab domination has culture been a potent factor. Under the latter, the standard of civilisation attained was wholly admirable; to Spain flocked the greatest scientists, thinkers, astronomers and mathematicians of the world, and side by side there flourished a spirit of sweet human tolerance and a sense of the purest chivalry. Then, with the advent of Christianity, came the bar­barians. The chivalry of the Castilians has been inherited from the Arabs. Had Charles Martel not been victorious at Poitiers —already, you see, the world had fallen into the hands of the Jews, so gutless a thing was Christianity!—then we should in all probability have been converted to Mohammedanism, that cult which glorifies heroism and which opens the seventh Heaven to the bold warrior alone. Then the Germanic races would have conquered the world. Christianity alone prevented them from doing so.

Hitler was on tons of drugs and said a lot of various things and looking for internal logic/consistency is kind of a losing game.

I can quote you things that are super anti-Islam from him, too.
