Did you hear about the riots in France by the left wing, disgruntled by the election outcome?

Question

I thought only the American left threw temper tantrums when they lost elections. Is their childlike behavior spreading to other countries?

oigres: Uh...just where in the Constitution does it state that people have a right to riot, loot, steal, pillage and destroy other peoples property?

Answer 1

Yes I actually laughed outloud because the reporter said "the left wing people in France are pissed that a more Conservative guy won and he wants to cut out social programs" Sounds like the U.S. People on Welfare vote for Dems, people who work, predominately vote for Republicans.

Answer 2

Since when did anyone riot in America over elections? I always thought our saving grace as a nation was our ability to unite under crisis, dissent without violence and accept that one party lost an election. There were no election riots in the U.S. when either party won or lost.

Answer 3

Mmmmm...no. They don't generally riot in America when elections are lost. Sometimes they riot when a sporting event is lost, but even those riots are nothing compared to the riots you see in Europe during football games.

Answer 4

Their silly and characteristic a left wing bias yet little do they comprehend or maybe comprehend that if Mark Lloyd, Obama's Czar gets his way they'll all be out of a job! to no longer stunning...

Answer 5

Yes, the entire Left Wing of France is made up of a couple hundred people who were protesting in the streets.

Answer 6

Leftists are leftists the world over. They are incaable of accepting electoral defeat like the democrats (please note the lower case "d") they purport to be. Whether it is Florida in 2000, Mexico in 2006, or France today, leftists stomp their feet and threaten to hold their breath until they turn blue if they lose.

Answer 7

Yeah, liberals always say they are opposed to all violence but they love to riot burn down the houses of honest hard working folks and kill innocent folks that their leaders like Al Sharpton say cause all of the world's problems.

Answer 8

Dude, number one they French and they will riot over a soccer game (how gay is that?) Number two, our leftists have thrown temper tantrums and talked big, but have yet to riot. (they are too busy smoking dope, listening to phish and having gay sex)

Answer 9

The French always riot.. it's part of being French.

Answer 10

I did. When a group of people think they are smarter than the majority of the electorate I guess they do throw temper tantrums.
