Rioters in the southern city of Toulouse set fire to an empty bus Monday evening, then pelted police with firebombs and rocks, an official said. A 61-year-old man died of wounds sustained in the spreading violence, the first fatality in 12 days of civil unrest that has shocked the country.
The rioters stopped the bus and ordered the driver to get out, then set the vehicle afire, said Francis Soutric, chief of staff at the regional prefecture in Toulouse. No passengers were inside. Clashes broke out when riot police arrived on the scene and officers responded with tear gas, he said.
The new violence came after rioting by French youths spread to 300 towns.
As urban unrest was reported in neighboring Belgium and Germany, the French government faced growing criticism for its inability to stop the violence, despite massive police deployment and continued calls for calm. One riot-hit town in suburban Paris said it was preparing to enforce a curfew.
Probably was a local Muslim driver. Would they have been so polite to an infidel?
France has lost control!
"You should have saved money by switching to GEICO!"
Baby steps.....
Not only are they are nearly all Muslim, but it is insane that so many media outlets are going WAY out of there way NOT to say that. Just rioters, immigrants...but no mention of the religion of peace.
After the first day or 2, I thought, oh well, they'll get a handle on it and hopefully learn from it. Now? It's hard to watch a modern, 'first world' nation begin to crumble at the hands of rioters.
Does auto insurance cover rampaging muslims...or do I need a separate rider for those claims?
Sounds like they need a Texas Ranger.
They know as long as they are "just" destroying property, the French won't take lives in response.
Where's Whoraldo? I thought his bread and butter was this kind of stuff. I figured FoxNews would have had him there by now and he'd already be castigating the Chriac government on live TV for their slow responsiveness to this crisis.
Why haven't they surrendered yet ??
You are right. We need to send Maxine Waters so she can incite them with burn baby burn remarks.
Say whay you want, these rioters are not at all dumb. So long as they only inflict massive property damage, any crackdown on them will be seen as excessive in Eurabia. Its disgusting, but it is working!
Had they just started killing people off the bat, the crackdown probobably would have started already.
Thanks for the reminder about what Bardot said, and for which she was fined!

Brigitte Bardot has been fined the equivalent of $6,000 by a French court for her anti-Islam book, "Un Cri Dans le Silence." According to a news account, one of the passages that the court found most objectionable was:
I am against the Islamisation of France! This obligatory allegiance, this forced submission disgusts me.... Our ancestors, the elderly, our grandfathers, our fathers have for centuries given their lives to push out successive invaders.
I am against the Islamisation of France! This obligatory allegiance, this forced submission disgusts me.... Our ancestors, the elderly, our grandfathers, our fathers have for centuries given their lives to push out successive invaders.
It disgusts me too. I'll bet at least a couple of the hapless French 'leaders' are marveling at her wisdom and wishing they had heeded her words, when in fact it should have been obvious to them, too, just like it was to us here at FR. I hope there's still time. She was right, right on. But she didn't care about being right, like folks in Germany who witnessed the rise of the Third Reich and got out before Hitler started his exterminations, I have a feeling she is wishing someone would have listened. I am.
Would YOU want to be a visible infidel in a bunch of rioting Muslims?
#6 skeet loads would do better.
Break the bottles as they throw them, and let the rioters insurrectionists get a dose of their own flaming gasoline rained all over themselves.
You can't lose what you never had.
Michael Savage was just talking about what Bardot said on his radio show.
Again bringing her up now, when she was an animal rights activist, the French loved her, but when she spoke up against the islamization, the French couldn't take her side.
