Outrage in France

I am absolutely outraged by the response of the French government to the rebellion that is occurring in France at this time. The state of emergency that the French state has called gives them the power to restrict the movement of people of Arab and African descent at their whim, to search homes at random and at any given time, to censor publications, and to impose two month prison sentences for violation of the imposed curfew. The French government, and especially Villepan and Chirac, should be called upon to stop their doublespeak and to seriously pay attention and address the grievances of those who are rioting.
