Paris is Burning...but don't tell anyone
Paris Is Burning
November 6,2005
One common tendency of government functionaries everywhere is to attempt to avoid giving their superiors bad news. With that in mind the following brief paragraph from a longer article on the Paris riots in Le Monde of November 6, 2005 is interesting.
(Google translation)
The night was marked by violent … confrontations in Evreux, where the shopping centre of the district of the Madeleine was seriously damaged and where young … demonstrators, of which some were armed with bats, ran up against the police officers. These confrontations would have made casualties on both sides, according to witnesses', but the prefecture was not able to provide an assessment.
It will be interesting to see if the prefecture is able to provide an "assessment" at some time in the future or if the "casualties" will remain unreported and, hopefully, forgotten. Makes you wonder what else is being unreported.
