We from Aulnay, Evry, Corbeil-Essonnes…
And from another three hundred cities. We didn’t burn our bagnoles, which we don’t own, but those of the inner and outer belts. In Aulnay we burned a Renault dealership with all the new cars inside. We didn’t burn our schools but those of the Republic (the two in Evry); when we graduate from there our chance of getting a boulot is about zero. We didn’t burn our shops but the supermarkets and McDonald’s (in Corbeil). You can blame the thugs, bin Laden, or whoever you want, but if this year we burned 30,000 cars (about 80 per night, mate) the forecast for next year is 40,000, since the riot provoked a greater jump in the statistical curve.
We found it very funny and symbolic that police discovered a “Molotov bottles factory” (BBC), with petrol cans and hundreds of ready-made explosive devices, right in an unused police station (in Evry). However: you have to explain why 300 cities burn at the same time, 255 schools, 233 public buildings in the whole of France and in some other countries too. Planetary hooliganism? Blame the small time criminality, but you know, here we shoot a lot, but without accurate aiming. There’s some theft, obviously drug movements, but in particular small things: everybody knows the big racket isn’t in the marais ghettos, but in the neighbouring belts, where they snort tons of drug: obviously, other quality drug, sold at higher prices. A great business managed from some luxurious office at Étoile or at Défense. Here, there are just little pushers.
