Even though the French government put large numbers of police on the streets in Paris and surrounding towns, the new year has begun with riots. 340 cars have been set alight, and the police have arrested more than 260 rioters....

Did it ever stop?

[mainepatsfan]

Is there a constant state of rioting in France it just differs by degree?

[Panerai]

It would help if this news was confirmed by a reputable news source.

100 cars on fire/day is "normal" in France.

"Rowdy revelers in France torched 425 vehicles overnight in scattered New Year's Eve unrest that has become an annual problem in troubled neighborhoods, the national police chief said Sunday. Last year, 333 cars were burned"

The government bribes didn't keep the peace for very long.

Thanks, wanted to make sure the news was real before the thought of roasted frogs with the new year.

a reputable news source.

It's not believable news until CNN reports it?!

LMAO!

[shezz]

All my reports come from reliable news sources, as you will see. Happy new year!

"It's not believable news until CNN reports it?!"

The first source linked wasn't up to much to be fair...

[Drew68]

the police have arrested more than 260 rioters....

At least they're arresting them now.

[greasepaint]

this could be, people torching their own cars,
to collect insurance

[bill1952]

Yes. I wonder how much they will have to pay them for the priviledge.

[bill1952]

I was thinking along those lines, as well.

Here, any such claim would be denied. - All insurance has a disclaimer regarding riots, insurrection, and civil disobedience, as a matter of law.

I wonder what is happening there?
Those insurance companies would be bankrupt soon.

[libertylover]

What bribes did they try. I haven't heard.

[beyond the sea]

LOL.
