I'm wondering when the Louvre or Notre Dame will get a molotov. I can't stand the French government, but this is depressing. The death of Western civilization in miniature.

I checked dictionary.com. Definition #4 was "official summons or citation."

"Interpellations?"

Apparently, this means that there were 186 riots, acts of arson, violence or what have you, that were broken up by police.

It's hard to believe. Where are all the ordinary people during all of this or is pretty much everyone in these Soviet-style towns brawling?

...burned at least 839 vehicles...

Well, that's written in stone; Rooters never lies. NOT!

I'm betting we can multiply that by 10.

A quick google search turned up this on interpellation. I'm guessing they are refering to an arrest, but it's interesting in that it shows how Marxism pervades French thought.

"Interpellation, a term coined by French Marxist philosopher Louis Althousser, describes the process by which ideology addresses the individual. To illustrate how interpellation functions in the context of ideology Althousser used the example of the policeman who shouts "Hey, you there!" At least one individual will turn around (most likely the right one) to "answer" that call. At this moment, when one realizes that the call is for oneself, one becomes a subject relative to the ideology of law and crime. "

Maybe the Muslims will allow the French to withdraw to the southwest of France and set up a new "Vichy".

The good news is that some of the Parisians saved a bunch of money on car insurance by switching to Le Geico...

OK..the plan is obviously to take all the "shameful" cars away from the French and burn down their infidel schools.

I can't understand why they don't go for mass transit other then they seem to be trying to avoid killing anyone.

The school part may be over the head scarf issue..??
