But just in case...
I imagine the police will fight back now that 30 of them have been at least wounded. Its past time to crack some skulls.

LOL! to both your replies.
Back to trying to translate: I hope I heard this wrong, but I thought they just said that public transportation is "severely affected"--wonder what that means.
The French are reaping thier hypocrisy.
They pretend to be enlightened and moral etc.
In reality, France is 20 times more racist than America. In reality, the poor are maligned and hated much more there.
IIRC, Notre Dame Cathedral is on Ile de la Cite and the other smaller island is Ile Saint-Louis.
It's really sad that FR and a couple of blogs are the best sources for information. I've been watching Euronews and LCI, and there's pretty much a press blackout until the next day. There are absolutely no live reports from the center of it all.
Your exquisite rant bears repeating...
2 Timothy 3:10b said it like this,
"... if any would not work, neither should he eat."
Let me be the first to buy these idiots a clue in that they aren't in the North and in Africa anymore. There's this strange concept called work which entails one showing up appropriately dressed, able to speak the language, have rudimentary skills, be able to get along with all different types of people and perform the work the boss instructs you to do. And yes, bunkie, you will not be the boss, you will have a boss, someone who tells you what to do, how to do it and when to do it. If you perform to the boss's satisfaction he will use a method called a paycheck to pay you for a job done. One word of caution, if you don't do your work correctly you are likely to find a pretty colored pink slip in the same envelope as your paycheck came in. The pink slip isn't there because they want to honor you or because someone decided they liked the color pink that particular week. The pink slip means "Good bye, don't come back, we didn't like the way you were doing the job we told you to do."
Get out of town. You win.
There are no jihadists involved. Whatever Jihadists are in France have decided not to inflame and instigate the rioting because it wouldn't be fair.
Also let's forget the French government's newly-found criticisms of Syria, Iran and their own yoot gangs. The jihadists certainly would never react to all of that and even if they did, those "youth gangs of North African/Muslim origin" certainly wouldn't listen to such trouble-making Jihadists because again, it wouldn't be fair.
Once while in Paris, I had a good view of the Eiffel Tower while in the tub and I had to wonder why anyone would want it as a landmark - it is just an ugly piece of steel in the daytime. It did put on the world's best fireworks display at the millenium.
Cute. I was looking for a policy prescription actually, given the dire threat your laser like mind unearthed.
Thank you, you are correct, Notre Dame, is located on the isle de Cite(an island in the Seine and considered the heart of Paris).
Arghh, damn Parisians, and the french language. :^).
Unbelievable is right. They need to get some real guns.
I seem to be one of the few Freepers who does not blame this on the fact that the young people are Muslims.
It is contributing to it in the online forums etc. egging on the violence, but the ultimate cause was very complex and involved the French ghettozation of the N. African immigrants, their mistreatment, the racism in the society, the poverty, the class conflict, and a Jihadist mindset among the more radical youth elements of the Muslims in reaction to their hatred of the French government and others for how they were mistreated.
This all came together. That is how a really small incident of two kids accidentally being electrocuted turned into this massive riot. The fact that they are Muslims can't account for that reaction alone.
Per Fox, now 10 policemen hit by bullets in Grigny, 30 km south of Paris.
Fox just reporting 10 policemen hit by bullets in Grigny, France
Can a country declare martial law if they have no real military?
Wth? Are they not shooting back? How does this ever end?
8 mayors of affected areas "sacrified their Sunday morning" to meet and make an appeal to federal 2 police severely hurt. One mayor said, the solution is not to increase the police, that will only anger them.
shooting by hunting rifles is what hurt the two police
school burned, didn't catch where
bus burned, 2 passengers burned. Bus traffic has completely stopped tonight---the president of the bus drivers union was just talking--he was talking fast, but I believe the bus drivers have stopped driving because they are afraid to be attacked.
Why does that old Monty Python line of "run away, run away", come to mind.
Absolutely. There is only one solution--put this insurrection down hard. Chirac lost his chance for a quick solution. Now it will be guerrilla warfare.
Chirac may see France as a center of refinement, but when facing a bully, you have to toss refinement aside and fight like a street brawler.
