WaPo: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/11/08/AR2005110801683_pf.html
France. "…his [Sarkozy's, who's the interior minister] attempts to reach out to Muslim and immigrant communities have foundered amid rage over his undiplomatic references to marauding youth as 'scum.'"
According to WaPo it all started "when two teenage boys from the northern suburbs of Paris [leapt] into a power substation on Oct. 27 while trying to dodge police at a checkpoint, according to their parents… [and] were electrocuted."
13 Nights of rioting, looting, and burning down property. Perhaps "scum" was too harsh. Naughty? Misbehaving? Maybe unseemly?.. But "scum"?! After all, they haven't killed anyone. Clearly, Monsieur Sarkozy needs to learn some good manners. Tsk-tsk-tsk, what a shame.
