Night Train to Moonbattery Followup

If you're wondering why it took so long to hear about the outrageous events that occurred on a train in France in the small hours of January 1, it could be because the French government sat on the incident:
No information on the incident was released by the authorities, who announced that [t]he New Year festivities had passed off without a widely feared resumption of the violence seen in deprived suburbs in November.
I don't often reference socialists as credible authorities, so in the interests of open-mindedness:
The Socialist former education and culture minister, Jack Lang, accused the government of "disinformation", and the Socialist Party said the Interior Minister, Nicolas Sarkozy, had imposed a "stupefying silence" on the attack. Details of the incident emerged only when two people appeared in court three days later, accused of robbery and sexual assault.
Apparently the train was full of Muslim hooligans because of a special deal on train tickets. So much for the theory that if you just give them enough handouts, they'll stop wanting to burn French civilization to the ground. If cheap train tickets can cause a 5-hour crime spree, imagine what the bureaucracy's next taxpayer-subsidized effort to "alleviate the effects of racism" will bring about.
