This is the sixth or seventh day.

I think we are seeing a revolution in progress, not a riot. There are reports of similar things in Belgium now.

If the French could stop it, I think they would have by now. They know that if they really anger the TROP (tm), all of Paris will burn. Also, the EU is becoming very muslim friendly, so they can't do much and be PC.

That's a very prescient, and scary, observation..not quite sure if I go along with it..more likely, the AQ ringleaders are hoping to incite a French crackdown, to then use it as the pretext for a "big event.." They'll probably want to blow up the Paris sewer system...it's a very vulnerable target, but since the French never bathe, they wouldn't notice it..
