PARIS Nov 7, 2005 France will impose curfews under a state-of-emergency law and call up police reservists to stop rioting that has spread out of Paris' suburbs and into nearly 300 cities and towns across the country, the prime minister said Monday, calling a return to order "our No. 1 responsibility."
The tough new measures came as France's worst civil unrest in decades entered a 12th night, with rioters in the southern city of Toulouse setting fire to a bus after sundown and pelting police with gasoline bombs and rocks.
Rioters in the southern city of Toulouse ordered passengers off a bus and then set fire to it and pelted police with gasoline bombs and rocks. Youths torched another bus in the northeastern Paris suburb of Stains, national police spokesman Patrick Hamon said.

Weren't the French among those who criticized the USA after Hurricane Katrina left New Orleans in a mess and looting was taking place? What a dunce was George Bush for not having control after 24 hours!
What a bunch of losers the French are. They have no excuse like a catastrophic storm, yet are only now beginning to understand that they must take some responsibilities for the problem and establish control in their streets.
As New Orleans was being looted, was it not Mayor Nagin who, pathetic as he was, stepped up to the mikes and announced that the National Guard had been ordered to "shoot to kill?"
That pretty much took care of the problem.
Imagine if you will what Mayor Daley would do if these "North African Muslim Yoots" torched a thousand cars in Chicago?
I asked my wife about 6 months ago to point out one, just one, positive story about GWB, or conservatives in general, that the MSM (except Fox) published or broadcast.
I'm still waiting.

THIS time we really mean it ... REALLY!!! Last nights call for order and the previous nights, that was just a prelude to tonight's call for order ... we mean it, REALLY this time !!!

Civil Mayhem Rocks France for 12th Night
Civil Mayhem.. Talk about oxymoronic.
==== an excerpt from article
In violence Monday, vandals burned churches, schools and businesses, and injured 36 police officers in clashes around the country, setting a new high for arson and violence, said France's national police chief, Michel Gaudin.
"This spread, with a sort of shock wave spreading across the country, shows up in the number of towns affected," Gaudin said.
In terms of material destruction, the unrest is France's worst since World War II and never has rioting struck so many different French cities simultaneously, said security expert Sebastian Roche, a director of research at the state-funded National Center for Scientific Research.
Villepin said curfews will be imposed under a 1955 law that allows the declaring of a state of emergency in parts or all of France. The law was passed to curb unrest in Algeria during the war that led to its independence.
