Woot I survived my first riot in Paris

Nov 13, 2009 12:08

So, I was on my way home on Tuesday night from class and on the bus. I was near the front of it as it was a bit crowded. The bus stops and it's stopped for a bit so I look up. I see this huge wall of black men coming down the street shouting (had headphones in so hadn't heard it). I have no idea what they were yelling about but it was sorta ( Read more... )

That's not a riot. That is a gathering for lunch. I don't understand why people (not you), jump to conclusions and get all nervous when a group of black men or a group in general gather just to voice their opinions.

Gives a whole new meaning to freedom..... anywhere on this planet. That is why I keep my mouth shut.

Here in grand of USA you can say and gather all you want however but you will be arrested under the charge of disturbing the peace or NOT following a police order. Which in turn negates the whole freedom of speech deal and free to peacefully assemble. Yeah we have the constitution its stuck in a drawer somewhere.

oh I know it's not a "riot". I know riot is a bit too strong of a word because they weren't exactly violent. I was being a bit sarcastic. And you're taking offense to something that isn't true. It could have been a bunch of white guys and I would have reacted that same and I would have said a bunch of white guys were gathering. I was mearly stating facts not being anything else. I was guessing they were shouting something about Algeria but I couldn't be sure as I couldn't hear them exactly from inside the bus. But don't go getting all defensive right away and stuff. ::hugs::
