Brussels back to normal, for now

By Brian C. Ledbetter · Thursday, September 28. 2006 07:10
The Brussels Journal is reporting that everything is back to normal in Brussels for now. Oddly enough, "normal" includes one car-burning. Are we witnessing shades of France in Belgium?

Here's the coverage on the story now:
BBC, Arabic News, People's Daily, Islamic Republic News Agency, CNN

There are still no pictures of this event on the newswires, that I've been able to find. With things returning to "normal," it's likely that the major wire services will miss out on this story completely. As usual.

I've gotten a handful of e-mails informing me that these so-called "riots" might not have been covered because it was such a small event, and therefore somehow un-newsworthy. In response, I'd say that the news agencies had no problem covering 19 people protesting at the Hart Office Building, here in DC - so why is it too much to expect them to cover 100 people burning things down?

Roundup from yesterday: LGF, EUReferendum, as I was saying, Michelle Malkin, Freedom Folks, It Shines For all, Tammy Bruce, The Right Nation, Dust My Broom, Bizzyblog, Ace of Spades, Jersey Nut, Gates of Vienna, Strange Stuff, Jane West, Moonbattery, Tel-Chai Nation, Right Voices

Here is what a handful of random people think about this article. But first, the fine print:
The opinions expressed here, even where approved for display, do not necessarily reflect the opinions of this website, the management, or any other entity or organization, with the exception of the Vast Zionist Conspiracy. Those opinions we represent in style, yo. Please keep the language in these comments clean, as this is intended to be a family-friendly, work-friendly website. Comments not compliant with this policy will be edited for content where necessary. Abusive or otherwise illegal comments will be reported to the proper authorities, up to and including the aforementioned Vast Zionist Conspiracy. The Management cannot and will not be held responsible for commenters making a spectacle of themselves, even if The Management are the said commenters in question. In other words, don't take yourself so seriously, folks. We're all here to discuss the news, and more importantly, to have fun. Now go get yourself into some OCD treatment program—you obviously need it if you actually read all of this mess.
