French Teen Bloggers Accused of Fomenting Riots

Posted on November 8, 2005 by glasscastle


Paris prosecutors opened an inquiry Tuesday into two
young bloggers who urged French youths to riot and revolt against the
police, a judicial official said.

The youths, a 16-year-old French teen and an 18-year-old with Ghanian
nationality, were detained Monday in the Paris region, said the official.

They were to be placed under investigation, a step short of formal charges,
for inciting harm to people and property over the Internet, said the
official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because French law bars
the disclosure of information from ongoing inquiries. Conviction on the
charge could carry a sentence of up to five years in prison and a $52,800
fine.

The blog, called "hardcore," was run by the 18-year-old, and
the younger teen posted comments on it, the official said. A 14-year-old
was also questioned Monday in the southern city of Aix-en-Provence and
was released.

    If it is ‘constructive’ and ‘criticism’, it is an Oxymoron. However, ‘constructive’ is a tag picked up voluntarily and the process is purely subjective. If ever somebody feels hurt, he should leave the field to the others. There truly a concept known as ‘Swakucha mardanam’ that implies self-gratification (simply because none else is coming forward to do it, without having hurting). A discussion or even a forum for it permits no self-centered human emotions.

    Screenwriting. It’s more of a challenge than novel composing; you have to show everything, you can’t just have an interior dialogue to explain things to the reader.
