Could it be? Police in France are alleging that at least some of the extensive rioting that has occurred over the past week in Paris was potentially helped along by at least two bloggers, who allegedly used the medium to incite rioting.
One of the blogs was called “sarkodead” – a reference to Interior Minister Nicolas Sarkozy, who inflamed passions when he called troublemakers “scum.” Both “sarkodead” and “hardcore” were hosted by Skyblog, a branch of the popular Skyrock radio station.
The blogs were taken off line this weekend, and the radio station cooperated with police, judicial officials said.
The suspects in the case are 16 and 18 years old, with a third 14 year old also being held for questioning. Unfortunately, the blogs are offline, so way may not know for some time what was actually said.
If anyone happens to have a screenshot of the blogs in question prior to their removal, please let me know as I may consider posting it depending on what was said.
