They call themselves the Bana Danger, Momi Fiuu or Tokyo Girls. On the estates in Paris or Nice where they live, they rule the roost, using the internet and mobile phones to brag about their violent, provocative behaviour. In recent months, these French girl gangs have grown and attacks are becoming increasingly violent. We take you inside a girl gang to meet these girls whose lives revolve around the gang.

No more 'Made in China'?

They’re the worker bees of China’s labour market – the four million poorly paid men and women who drive Guangdong’s massive textile industry. But now they’re demanding higher pay and better conditions, and in response companies are relocating to countries where labour is even cheaper – like Vietnam, Cambodia and Bangladesh. "Made in China" is a worldwide brand, but are we now witnessing the beginning of its end?

Thank God, the Founding Fathers, and the Supreme Court for inspiring, creating and affirming the 2nd Amendment. In the USA, law-abiding citizens are allowed to be armed, many of us are ALWAYS armed. A 'girl gang' or any other malefactors picking on the wrong person may find themselves happily and righteously shot to pieces. C'mon babes, make my day - no court in the country will convict me.

Really, they're unemployed? Who wouldn't want to hire these stellar citizens????? And by all means, don't put them in jail - better to wait till they kill someone and then engage in the obligitory hand-wringing.

Isn't the news supposed to be objective. By adding "American ghetto" accents to the voices don't you think you are directing the audience to feel and think a certain way. This is overly sensationalized and not representative.
