Since Rush mentioned a burned car count today, I gathered together some sources online, and compiled this site. I will do my best to keep the page updated until the rioting ceases. If you have more information or better numbers, let me know.

Burned Car Count

Same reason they blow up vehicles with road side bombs, they haven't learned how to make house bombs yet.

Freudian Slip?

(IsraelNN.com) Another night of Islamic violence has begun in southern France news agencies report. Rioters are hurling firebombs, burning buses and pelting security forces with rocks.

The Muslim rioters have already used weapons against security troops, injuring dozens as they continue setting vehicles ablaze.

Please, so[me] of us take this very serious.

You're absolutely right, and I apologize, but I can't seem to find the silly accent that goes over the "o" in Citroen.

Are they burning SUV's owned by the JOOOOOOOZZZZ?

Good work. I notice CNN waited until halfway through the piece to list the cars burned stat after all the other numerical data. No doubt hoping it would not be read.

Looks like the violence really took off three days ago. After Ramadan from what one article said...

Great update.

[ArtyFO]

They are burning the short buses that they have to ride.

Relax my friend, there is an ocean between and the prevailing wind is from the west

[U S Army EOD]

Only the passengers on them, if the passengers are disabled and on crutches.

[U S Army EOD]

You need to get on this one.

endommagez tellement, comment triste, une telle haine

[msnimje]

Do they burn the giant gorillas too?

"If Bush had rounded up cars instead of terrorist and sent them to Gitmo, no cars would have been burned."

Speaking of, WHY in the heck didn't the people who owned those cars go get them and drive them to somewhere safe. WHAT is the matter with them? There'd be NO WAY I'd just let someone come along and torch MY car if I'd heard that cars were being burned. I'd get my car the heck out of there! I just don't get it.

In WWII these people's grandfathers abandoned their equipment and ran from the Germans, things don't change.

They are burning the short buses that they have to ride.
