Police detained 14 people yesterday after a second night of rioting that broke out in a working-class Paris suburb following the deaths of two youths who were electrocuted while trying to evade police, officials said.
Hundreds of angry youths torched parked cars and threw rocks at police overnight in Clichy-sous-Bois, north of the capital, lightly injuring 15 officers and a journalist, officials said.
Mobile police units were called in after assailants opened fire on a police riot vehicle, and restored order around 2am. About 300 police were remaining on site until further notice, officials said.
Dozens of local residents held a peaceful march after daybreak yesterday between City Hall and the electrical transformer where the youths died seeking cover on Thursday evening.
The regional government said about 400 youths took part in the rioting overnight, but city officials insisted that estimate was too high.
Major French TV networks led their afternoon newscasts with images of the violence, showing officers firing tear gas and rowdy youths throwing rocks and overturning large rubbish bins.
Nineteen people were arrested. Five were later released, officials said.
At yesterdays march, Mayor Claude Dilain called for calm, urging the public to remain dignified amid lingering anger over the deaths of the 15- and 17-year-old boys.
About a dozen teens, wearing T-shirts with the words Dead for Nothing written on them, marched at the front as the demonstrators walked past a string of charred vehicles.
The U.S. news media continues to spike the news of these French riots...
ROP = Religion Of Peace
TROP = The Religion Of Peace
TROP = The Religion Of Peace.
Sarcastic reference to the religion of Islam.
The true nature of Islam can be found in stories like this one:
This has been all over American television-not.
Hmmm. I don't think the t-shirts read "Dead for Nothing" at all.
Instead, they read: Morts pour rien or sumthin'...

Excellent post, captures the situation well.
Was there much Kerry-like limp wristed slapping and pinching? "You brute you brute!"
anyone remember those striking paris firemen? they were rioting and police threw a flashbang at them. so one fireman decides he is going to pick it up and throw it back.
it blew his hand apart. I remember seeing a nasty newswire picture of what was left of his hand

The mob tried to surrender to the authorities, but the authorities were surrendering too. Terrible stalemate indeed.
Thanks for the ping, else I wouldn't have known about these riots, either.
Hey, everyone! This is top secret information not to be released in the USA by decree of the MSM. And if you do tell everyone, don't let them know it is the dignified ROP that is rioting.
Actually, the few names I have seen appear to be Algerian, rather than sub-Saharan African.
Interesting that you have to read about this in the foreign press.
