MARSEILLE, France — France's interior minister sent extra riot police to patrol the southern port city of Marseille on Sunday after a group of marauding teenagers torched a bus, seriously burning a young passenger.
French police have braced for a surge of violence this weekend, as Friday was the first anniversary of the start of riots in poor neighborhoods where many immigrants and their French-born children live.
In scattered violence Saturday, 46 people were taken into custody, most of them in the suburbs around Paris, and two police officers were slightly injured. The most serious violence was the bus attack in Marseille, which shocked France with its brutality.

That is the most Muslim-dominated city in France.

'Course you did nothing to prevent it, although you could have.
May the Great Monarch of the royal Lily of France arise and clean house.... (speaking as a monarchist of course.)
Ah yes, the latest addition to French cuisine: Omnibus flambe.
Call it a North African influence on French cooking.
This has been happening EVERY night? I knew things were bad, but we sure aren't getting the full story.
Félicitez le Seigneur et passez les munitions!
(Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition.) :)
They are Moors to be coorect. Moors are followers of the TROP. Go figure.

Horrible story. The poor woman - of course, the report makes it sound as if the other attacks weren't particularly serious because the "passengers managed to flee." But why should French bus riders have to be prepared to flee for their lives? Doesn't the French government feel it has some responsibility to protect the citizens?
Because they haven't called for the anhialation of Israel?

"Youts".....antisemitism comes full circle and bites the French!
I have NO sympathy for the French. Their arrogance and stupidity has once again proved potent!
An interesting bit of trivia:

"Some 7,000 police are at the ready on an average night in France, and bands of youths typically set fire to 100 cars a night."
"at the ready"? Ready to do WHAT? We sure don't hear about any actual ARRESTS.
"Doesn't the French government feel it has some responsibility to protect the citizens?"
Nah, cuz the French government would actually have to get off their lazy asses and earn a living. Oh, and any effective response would involve KILLING a few dozen or hundred of the poor goddamned (muslim) yoots. And that, after all, might "offend" the muslims, making them more hateful and violent than they perpetually are. (Sarc)
Those damn Lutherans again! (Is the /sarc needed?)
