There go those “youths” again

I love this story:  a movie starring John Travolta was set to be filmed in a French suburb, so as to highlight the suffering of the young suburbanites.  Unfortunately, these same suburbanites, clearly unaware of the liberal honor accorded to them, rioted so badly that filming had to stop:

Filming of a new John Travolta movie on a deprived Paris housing estate has been cancelled – after rioting youths torched ten of the production’s cars and threatened crew.

‘From Paris With Love’ was meant to have highlighted social problems in the  grim suburbs which surround the French capital.

By the way, while the newspaper article doesn’t identify the “youths” in any way (saying only that theirs is an “immigrant” neighborhood), stories written a few weeks earlier to celebrate this brave movie making effort give the game away:  the movie is being filmed in the same district that saw the widespread Paris riots three years ago.  If you’ll cast your mind back in time, the disaffected “youths” at the heart of those riots were Muslim immigrants or the children of Muslim immigrants.

    I have a very simple answer to such “youth” riots, Book. Very simple.

    Perfect, simply perfect. Couldn’t happen to nicer people – Leftwing bleading-heart Hollywood elites! Welcome to the real world.

    The thing is, a lot of the crew aren’t Leftist. Many are, but all of them are usually in the narcissistic actor and director class. The every day camera men, make up, stunt men, and so forth are the “crew” and they are the ones that get put in danger by people like John Travolta, the producers, the directors, the corporate clown suits, and so forth.

    Another example of parasitism people.

    Without the technologically gifted and skilled, how many of these special effect Hollywood movies do you think could be made under budget?
