Excellent link PC DAVE.
In my 15 yrs in France, I have gotten in countless fistfights, brawls, where it was me all by myself against 20. I was held up, guns pointed at me, death threats. All that, why? Because I was a white kid. But then, when I told them I was 1/2 Asian, I suddenly gained respect. I'd tell these lowlifes the following, to save my ass in bad situation :" Why do you want to fight me? come on, look at me, I'm an immigrant, I'm asian. You and I , we're alike. It's the white boys, the french that'll laugh at us. They'll say 'look, freaking immigrants fighting each others'! You know what I mean? So let's stop this, and go kick their asses."
Most time i'd work
I lived in the ghetto in France. It was a nice city in the early 80's, but then w/ the project going up, it quickly deteriorated.
When I went to school, in my left pocket, I had a brace knucles, and the other, a small canister of tear gas.
I walk home from school, punk ass from class wants to beat me with his friends. I punch them and leave a nice spike mark on his face, and then spray him w/ tear gas spray (OC spray).
None of the people who messed with me were ever white. NOT A SINGLE ONE.
French people don't want them there. (Africans, north, south, east, west, and Eastern Euros). ASians, usually have no problems there.
It's sounds so "LePenish" when I say that (and believe me, I dont like the guy!), but before the French can go and take on Iraq and other matters, they should start to take up problems in the country.
They need a) Bad ass cops like we have b) Bad ass judges like we have c) Have the French white kids stop being scared of the gang tactics.
I would love to go back to France, carrying my Remington 870 on a strap, my Sig P228 in hand, and go show them gangbangers, who'se the law!
