PARIS (AP) - Ten nights of urban unrest that brought thousands of arson attacks on cars, nursery schools and other targets from the Mediterranean to the German border reached Paris where at least 28 cars were burned overnight in the French capital, government officials said Sunday.
Police found a gasoline bomb-making factory in a southern suburb of the city, with more than 100 bottles, gallons of fuel and hoods for hiding rioters' faces, a senior Justice Ministry official said Sunday.The discovery, Huet said, shows that gasoline bombs being used by rioters "are not being improvised by kids in their bathrooms.
Six youths, all aged under 18, were arrested in the raid Saturday night on a building in Evry south of Paris where the gasoline bombs were being put together, Jean-Marie Huet, the ministry's director of criminal affairs and pardons, told The Associated Press.

You mean the rioters are not just poor victimized yoots? This will be news to the MSM!! /s
Anyone care to lay odds that the "youths" were Muslims?
Also, I seriously doubt that the yoots are "drug dealers," as the French press keeps cheerfully assuring us. That is, many of them probably do deal drugs, because this is a big career track in these scummy areas, but it's not drug gangs behind the rioting, I'm sure. The drug gangs have nothing to gain by driving away their clientele and destroying their supply chain.
Islamic militants, on the other hand, thrive on death and destruction. The more the better.
Now hold on there cowboy - them bombs come from God - you who is infidel, a pig eating creater who God hates - where do you live?

Okay, I'll play along with the unbiased French media.
I didn't realize France had such a drug problem. (I thought France was a great utopia that everyone should copy.)
Even Columbia with all its drug lords is more stable than this.
Most of the drugs that come into European countries such as Spain or France come through the Muslim neighborhoods, although Gypsies are very active in the trade as well. I think some of it is because pot and hash use are very well established in the ME and there are already supplies immigrants can tap into, and much of the rest - the sale of non-traditional drugs such as coke - is simply because dealers and smugglers can operate out of these neighborhoods without much interference and no doubt more organized criminal operations do work through them. In addition, it is known that many of the Islamist groups raise money through criminal activities such as drug sales, credit card fraud, phone number theft, etc., so having criminal operations in the neighborhood benefits them as well.
But to blame 10 nights of national rioting and destruction on "drug dealers" is downright laughable.
In case you haven't seen this one yet...
<We worked very closely with the KNP when I was stationed in the ROK. I once saw a group of bandana-boys toss a molotov at a closed formation of KNP riot police. In one of those one in a million happenings, the jar struck the asphalt at just such an angle and trajectory that the glass did not shatter, but merely skittered to the formation where one of the KNP stopped it with his boot, picked it up and threw it right back into the crowd of demonstrators. They scattered like cockroaches in a spotlight.
Sounds like it's time to outlaw gas and empty wine bottles.
Considering the price of gas over there, someone shelled out a bit of money.
Every once in a while the MSM "slips up" and actually mentions that yes, indeed these "youths" are Muslims.
Thanks for the ping.
PS. I like your tag line, it explains all the stuff the MSM dishes out. ;)

"PARIS (AFP) – the 10th consecutive night of urban violences ignited in the ghettos close to Paris and in surrounding areas, with a hundred cases of vehicle arson and ten shootings by 22H00. "
Other articles mentioned shootings, but didn't elaborate.
My guess is that it was NOT the police shooting at the criminals, it was the criminals shooting at innocent people. That would explain why the MSM didn't elaborate.
They also set fire to some poor woman on crutches, getting off the bus, last I heard, she is in critical condition, which burns all over her body. That is not being mentioned very often either.
The MSM is going out of their way to portray these monsters as just some "misunderstood youth" who is doing mischief, but they aren't "really bad" people.
In the meantime, it was mentioned a couple of times, that law enforcement in France thinks this is well organized.
My take on it is that this is the latest version of a terrorist attack.
"The discovery, Huet said, shows that gasoline bombs being used by rioters "are not being improvised by kids in their bathrooms. "
I bet it will turn out this whole thing is a planned Al Qaeda operation.
