A breathtaking apex of French dhimmitude. No wonder the French "youths" are growing bolder and more assertive: they see that the French have no will to resist whatsoever, and reward those who engage in criminal activity. "Peace Gesture: French Unveil Monument to Boys Who Fled Police," from Gateway Pundit, with thanks to LGF:
You run from police... You accidentally get electrocuted while hiding from police at an electrical substation... You get a monument built in your honor!
A monument is unveiled to honor Zyed Benna and Bouna Traore who died on Oct. 27, 2005 by accidental electrocution while fleeing a police identification check.
A silent march ended in a mostly immigrant Paris suburb on Friday where French officials unveiled a monument to two youths who died while fleeing from police:
Relatives and friends of two French teenagers who were electrocuted as they fled from police a year ago have gathered in Clichy-sous-Bois near Paris. A plaque was unveiled in front of their school, and a wreath-laying ceremony was held at the power sub-station where the teenagers tried to hide.The deaths of Zyed Benna and Bouna Traore sparked three weeks of violent riots in France's poor suburbs as the young and unemployed vented their anger over what they saw as lack of opportunity and racial discrimination. The crowd gathered in silent prayer wearing t-shirts with the slogan "Dead for nothing".
They also laid wreaths at the electrical sub-station.
Read it all.

"dead for nothing"
so i guess doing any criminal activity in france equals to nothing. (for muslims only of course)
why not a monument for al zarkawi or mullah omar?

And to think somebody got paid for thinking that up.

This is a monument to stupidity. Stupid was these punks causing trouble. Stupid was these punks not seeing where they were going. Stupid was all the rioting on behalf of these idiots. Stupid was the way the French government handled those riots. Stupid was all that anguish for all this stupidity. Stupid was the government kowtowing to Islamaniacs for having this ceremony. The most stupid was building this monument to stupidity at all. Truly stupid is as stupid does.

Just what they need: a monument to keep the flames of resentment focused and burning.

Sickening.
Somebody please reassure me that even though these morons are greeting their enemy with smiling faces and signed surrender papers, some sort of French Underground is waiting in the wings to strike a death blow for the values that once set France apart as a model society.

A breathtaking apex of dhimmitude, and an asphyxiating nadir of fortitude.

A toilet would have been cheaper.

The French have celebrated their dhimmitude in so many ways but this memorial to two Muslim punks has got to rank near the top
Posted by: dennisw at October 29, 2006 8:21 PM
If that thing was built to honor a Christian youth it would have been blown up by now.

"...some sort of French Underground is waiting in the wings to strike a death blow for the values that once set France apart as a model society."
Yeah, members of the New French Underground are in basements all over Paris making little white flags.

French surrender terms:
Take my country, my children and my wife just don’t hurt me.

The sick part is his teenage friends will celebrate his honored name with fresh riots tonight.
Posted by: Ronin at October 29, 2006 8:28 PM
Well Thank God for the electric utility company that does what the French won't do but should.
I'm glad they fried. Two less terrorists in the world to eventually kill.
Instead of a ludicrous monument for the two lawless rioters and destroyers, the French ought to put up a grateful monument for the electric company.
This world is so crazy that I would not be surprised if the electric company was sued and the parents of the holligans awarded a judgment or settlement reached out of court for their deaths.
I hope somebody "desecrates" it. :) I guess we...uh Ronin will have to take it down when Ronin is over there doing a peacekeeping mission! :)

Yes and when everyone in France is forced to bow towards Mecca during prayer when the call to prayer is made from the Eifel Tower, Chirac will just say people who complain are just "Islamaphobic".

Don't you just "love" the French. They always have a way of taking stupidity to new heights! But all in all, it's ust another day in the French Neighborhood...
Posted by: BB at October 29, 2006 10:15 PM
Not France. Not the French. This particular mayor, in this particular town. And all others who think like him. And even if there are millions of them, there are other millions in France who do not think like him, who are appalled at the whole thing. Some, in their desperation, run to Le Pen. Others, more assured and collected, support Philippe de Villiers or, in the belief that they must support someone who will win and not to support someone who may influence policy but cannot win, will go, at this point, with Sarkozy. Many now wish they could undo the last 40 years of crazed immigration policies. Some would like to strangle all those who undid France, in such wanton fashion. But why attack "France"? Why attack "the French"? Attack those who deserve it. They are everywhere. And everywhere there are those who don't deserve it, and don't deserve to pay for the stupidity or venality or fearfulness of others.
The Esdrujula Explanation, one more time: Stupidity, Cupidity, Timidity.

Hugh you wrote:

response:
I think we are all amazed how far French sucking up goes with the jihadis. What are you saying???--elaborate please...
Hugh, why shouldn't we "attack" the French. I'm not attacking, just making what I see as a common OBSERVATION in west by all thinking people--you take almost any issue and the French with their inflated concept of their self importance will take the wrong side on it--oh yeah and then they will moralize to us that we are in the wrong. Honoring some thugs who got killed in the commission of a crime is par for the French course. If there is this huge dissent with their government's actions and idiotic pronouncements, I haven't ever seen it.

What the Parisiens have learned from this experience, is that electricity is dangerous. The only solution is to turn the electricity off in Paris.
Which might not be a bad idea.
Posted by: August22 at October 29, 2006 11:10 PM
These guys aren't "Dead for Nothing". They were last years excuse to go on the rampage that they all enjoy so much. What's several hundred burned cars and some burned buses from the other night when you're getting your rocks off subjugating the idiot french dhimmis?
Marie Lindell must be rolling in her grave.
Jan Sobieski,
We are the new French resistance. Vive la liberte!
Posted by: Isabellathecrusader at October 29, 2006 11:38 PM
Well, just look at the top photo. While his black and arab masters look on sternly, the timid, old, white dhimmi meekly sets a wreath down, cowering in fear of a beating, it looks like.
I'm sure not all French feel this way. I just wish that they would show similar balls as they do when protesting and rioting about labour laws and welfare cuts.

I disagree. We are not seeing the western elites pronounce islam as the anti-penultimate destination - the esdrujula explanation as you have it - but as the silaba tonica, the one who shouts the loudest and is heard above all others. We, those of us alive today who believe in our civilisation, are the aguda accent - the last syllable; the end, unless we can convince our compatriots to wake up to the threat.
Dominic.

Dear goodness. That last post of mine really tortured Hugh's esdrujula reference. Sorry about that, but I couldn't resist it.
Dominic.

Never in my life have I heard of someone being electrocuted because he ran into an electricity sub station. My suspicion is these youts fled the police there in the past.
Posted by: dennisw at October 30, 2006 1:54 AM
Compare the image of the Mayor placing the wreath at the sub-station with the images you have seen of men being escorted to the gallows.

I laughed so hard I almost put my head through my computer monitor and electrocuted myself.

and meanwhile, have French authorities considered an appropriate memorial to the life of the Sephardic Jew kidnapped and murdered last spring by Muslim thugs?
Posted by: waterdragon52 at October 30, 2006 9:09 AM
This gesture of good will might work with political opponents or estranged groups of French citizens but it won't work with enemies and members of hostile camps.
Unfortunately the trends in place in European nations will continue until the cathartic event occurs. People don't want to change their habits very much and certainly don't ever want to change attitudes and their world views. Changes of that degree have to be foisted on a people through outside shocks to the system.
The shock will have to be something more than two electocuted muslim punks running from gardes de la maison de la guerre. The real guards of the house of War are us, here, and I don't think that we will even be enough due to the intertia of human nature. When have the people ever been wise enough to hear the warning ahead of the deluge? Never in France -- never at all.

levi, not only nobody will desecrate this monument but "somebody" already desecrated or destroyed in france a monument dedicated to the armenian genocide by muslim turks.
Posted by: StillFedUp at October 30, 2006 10:19 AM
Is it all of France, or merely this monsieur le maire in this his grim mairie, who should be asked to proclaim responsibility aloud: "Exegi monumentum."
And where is Horace anyway, now that we need him for more than odes and epodes -- the Horace who turned into Horatio at the Bridge?
Posted by: Hugh at October 30, 2006 10:41 AM
Ok.. that's it.
During World War III: The Americans DO NOT liberate France. We freakin nuke their asses. They lost. Sorry, but if they are THAT STUPID, then I suggest we don't waste American lives on their behalf during World War III.
Posted by: Monkeywho at October 30, 2006 11:48 AM
Monkeywho,
...but before we nuke ‘em let's please disinter the truly honorable Americans buried there and bring them home. What really nauseates me is to think that all those young Americans died over there so the filthy French could sell their country out to a bunch of third world barbarian Islamic pigs.
Posted by: never_submit at October 30, 2006 1:27 PM
Can we also have official ceremonies with memorial wreaths for all the stray cats, squirrels etc. who get squashed while crossing busy streets?
