PARIS (AP) - 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.

Funny - the word MUSLIM doesn't show up in a search of that whole article. Neither does ISLAM.

Sounds like it is time for Chirac to hire out the 6th Iraqi Army Division to clean up the problem. They could quickly show the Frenchies just how to deal with raving mad Islamos.

Maybe Johnny Depp will star. I seem to remember he moved to southern France because America is so violent.

How can the French allow this to go on. Their nation is disintegrating.

Here's my question...when the "religion of peace" takes over France, do we liberate it again, or just let it fall?

I'd like to announce a new MSM semantic equivalency:

From henceforth, the term 'French Youths' will actually mean 'Islamofascists'.

Set the autocorrect function in your MS Word, and do a search and replace on every article put out in the last 12 days on this new equivalency.

Thank You,

Think the driver was a Muslim or an Infidel? And what do you suppose would have happened had the situation been reversed?

"When are the Gauls going to grow some balls? "

When the French get off the bench.

Soon, I hope.
