Rioting Spreads to 20 Towns Around Paris
By JAMEY KEATEN, Associated Press Writer
Thu Nov 3, 2:55 PM ET

AULNAY-SOUS-BOIS, France - Rampaging youths shot at police and firefighters Thursday after burning car dealerships and public buses and hurling rocks at commuter trains, as eight days of riots over poor conditions in Paris-area housing projects spread to 20 towns.

Youths ignored an appeal for calm from President Jacques Chirac, whose government worked feverishly to fend off a political crisis amid criticism that it has ignored problems in neighborhoods heavily populated by first- and second-generation North African and Muslim immigrants.

"My local newscast (Nashville, TN) said this was a result of disgruntled AFRICAN-AMERICAN youth, I kid you not."

I believe you 100% cuz I saw Gretta VanSusteren do that EXACT same thing when the natalie holloway thing was just starting out. She was referring to the two fellas that were arrested first and she called them african american too...and she knew what she had done Instantly.

I thought it was over two youths who died while hiding from the police?

It started over that incident. Now they seem to be rioting for rioting's sake.

This should be the end of the Chirac government.

Couldn't happen to a nicer crook/POS should his government fall.

THIS IS THE START OF INTIFADA IN FRANCE. And if the Eurocrats will not stop it soon, it will extend to other countries.

A little soon to be certain, but it sure seems pointed in that direction.

Evidence of the scale of law-breaking, in what are officially known as “les quartiers difficiles”, came with a police report yesterday that 28,000 vehicles had been torched in outbreaks of urban violence in France so far this year.

Does anyone have links to the photos of the 3 youths in the car, and those lined up along a wall from a few days ago? I could've sworn they were on CNN, but I can't find them anywhere this evening! Thanks in advance... LR
